Goldeye G/CL Technical Manual V4.1.1
The Goldeye is available with lens adapters for C-Mount, F-Mount, and M42-
Mount to support lenses of different makes and models.
Each lens adapter has a recess to accommodate suitable filters.
Changing the lens adapter
The lens adapter is screwed onto the M42 thread of the camera body. To exchange
it with a different adapter, unscrew it and screw on the other adapter.
For consistent image quality, we recommend using only Allied Vision lens adapters.
Take special care when removing filter or protection glass.
•
Removing the filter from the camera requires special care.
•
Ask your distribution partner for assistance if you are not confident with the
procedure.
•
To avoid contamination, never touch optical surfaces with bare hands.
Remove mount adapters carefully
•
All mount adapters of Goldeye cameras are secured with locking screws. To
avoid damage to the camera, these locking screws need to be untightened
before removing or changing the mount adapter.
See Figure 32 for the position of the locking screws.
•
To avoid damage to the thread, never use any tools to screw the mount
adapter on or off.
