00:00So you finally got your hands on a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4,
00:03but now you're staring at it wondering how to actually turn it into something useful.
00:08Well, you're in luck, because I spent way too long digging through listings and found the
00:12best deals for the top 5 Raspberry Pi CM4 adapters, and honestly, some of these are absolute steals.
00:18Starting at number 5, we've got the Raspberry Pi CM4 Nano Baseboard, and the name doesn't lie.
00:25This thing is literally the same size as the CM4 itself, which is kind of mind-blowing when
00:29you realize it packs USB, CSI, DSI, mini-HDMI, and gigabit Ethernet with an RJ45 jack into that
00:36tiny footprint. At just $19.30, it's the cheapest way to get your CM4 up and running with real ports,
00:44and with over 4,400 sold and a perfect 5-star rating, clearly people are loving it.
00:49Coming in at number 4 is the CM4 IO board with dual gigabit Ethernet and a metal case,
00:54and yeah, this one's basically a mini-router waiting to happen.
00:58Two Ethernet ports, a proper enclosure, and it's priced at $32.31, which is honestly pretty
01:05reasonable for something that turns your CM4 into a networking beast. Around 4,400 units sold in a
01:115-star rating, so if you're into home networking or firewall projects, this is a no-brainer.
01:17Number 3 is the A17G CM4 to Pi 4B adapter board, and this is for anyone who wants to use
01:23their CM4
01:24with existing Raspberry Pi 4 cases and accessories. Instead of buying all new stuff, you just drop
01:30the CM4 onto this board and boom, it behaves like a regular Pi 4B. At $23.80 with over 4
01:37,300 sold and
01:39a 4.7 rating, it's a solid budget option if you've already got Pi 4 gear lying around.
01:44At number 2, we have the Waveshare CM4 to Pi 4B adapter, and this one's a bit special because
01:50it actually supports dual Raspberry Pi 4B expansion. So you're not just adapting your CM4, you're
01:56getting extra flexibility for more complex builds. Priced at $40.22 with around 4,100 sold and a 4.7
02:05rating, it's a step up in capability if you need more than the basic single board setup.
02:10And finally, the number 1 pick is the Waveshare CM4 Dual Gigabit Ethernet 4G per 5G baseboard,
02:16and this thing is an absolute monster. Dual Gigabit Ethernet Plus support for 4G or 5G
02:22modules means you can build a proper cellular router or edge device with your CM4. It's the
02:28priciest at $56.99, but with over 4,100 sold and a perfect 5-star rating, it's clearly worth every
02:36penny for serious networking projects. So there you have it, 5 awesome CM4 adapters for pretty much
02:42every use case, whether you're going tiny, building a router, or going full 5G. All the links are in
02:48the description below so you can grab whichever one fits your project. If this helped you out,
