I'm using the OAK-FFC-4P and am a little unsure if Arducam modules not sold by Luxonis/without the depthai branding work. I was using the 26pin to 22 pin cable that came with the FFC for these tests. It would be great to get an updated documentation page that explicitly confirms that the 22 pin Arducam cameras won't work, and only those sold by Luxonis in collaboration with Arducam work to clarify matters. The documentation also tends to be fragmented across this discussion board, github, and the official documentation page. It would be great to consolidate all the information and have them be consistent.
I tried Arducam versions of some of the sensors mentioned in the supported sensors page, since it links directly to the Arducam home page as to cameras that are supported (https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/hardware/en/latest/pages/articles/supported_sensors/?highlight=arducam#arducam-short-fpc).
Unfortunately, I was not able to get the FFC board to detect any of them. Maybe the caveat is that the firmware supports it, but they do not work with the FFC board without addition glue circuitry. Would be great to highlight this for end-users, the majority of whom I'd assume do not have the resources to build such custom circuitry (but could be wrong here).
A detailed description of modules I've tried:
IMX462: STARVIS, works on develop
branch
A few posts in this discussion board mention testing it, but there is no mention of who the vendor is or where they purchased this camera from. I tried the Arducam version (https://www.arducam.com/product/2mp-imx462-color-ultra-low-light-starvis-camera-module-with-141h-wide-angle-m12-lens-for-raspberry-pi/) but was not able to get it to work.
IMX477: Oak's FFC IMX477 M12
The oak version seems to be an arducam module, but I tried the one from the Arducam website (https://www.arducam.com/product/12-3mp-477p-mini-hq-camera-module-with-m12-lens-for-nvidia-jetson-nano-xavier-nx-and-nvidia-orin-nx-agx-orin/) and that does not seem to work.
IMX296: fully integrated and mentions the rasp pi cam3.
I tried the arducam version and this time was able to get an image to show up but it was of poor quality. Assuming this is what cutting the trace and adding the resistor (discussed here: https://discuss.luxonis.com/d/1460-rpi-high-quality-camera-with-oak-ffc-baseboard) tackles, but did not want to do that. So maybe this is a cam that could work for those willing to do it.
IMX708:"RPi Cam V3 works with FFC via Adapter".
I falsely assumed since the Arducam version is 22pin it might work but it does not.
The Arducam IMX519 which is not in the supported list does not work as well.
Unrelated issues:

The link to the shorter/longer FFC cables is broken.
It is possible I have missed a page already touching upon these topics, and if I have please do let me know.
