Lens Mount
The xiX cameras have a couple lens mounts available. The smaller cameras (X2G2) have a C-mount, and the larger ones can
optionally be included with a Canon EF mount.

The smaller cameras are delivered with C-mount back focal length. By removing the “C/CS-Mount module B” (see the figure
above) the camera can be rebuilt to CS-mount compatibility. Effectively reducing the back focal distance and overall length of
camera by 5mm. The required M2x8mm special screws are part of the camera delivery. The length of the lens thread is 6.5
mm.
Note: The distance between the threaded flange and the surface of the filter glass is 11.9 mm in case of C-Mount and 6.9 mm
in case of CS-Mount. To avoid damaging of the filter glass, nothing may extend deeper into the housing.

Adapter is included it is 13.4 mm.
