Hi,

I have the following items:

- Waveshare Pi Zero camera board: [https://www.amazon.com/Zero-V1-3-Camera-RPi-Development/dp/B01LXKPVUS/ref=sr\_1\_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1491513220&sr=1-5&keywords=raspberry+pi+camera+board](https://www.amazon.com/Zero-V1-3-Camera-RPi-Development/dp/B01LXKPVUS/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1491513220&sr=1-5&keywords=raspberry+pi+camera+board)
- Spare Pi Zero camera cable
- Pi Zero

Unfortunately, given how short the Waveshare’s built in camera cable is, I would like to join it to my spare Pi Zero camera cable to extend its length. I’m looking at the Pimoroni camera joiner: [https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/camera-cable-joiner-extender-for-raspberry-pi](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/camera-cable-joiner-extender-for-raspberry-pi)

From photos, it looks only compatible with normal Pi cables, not Pi Zero cables. Is that true?

If this product is unsuitable for Pi Zero cables, can you suggest an alternative?
