C-Mount Assembly

 

The C-mount adapter is a standard threaded video mount with a standard 
C-mount flange focal distance and additional travel distance to allow parfocal 
adjustment with a variety of instruments. For specifications, see 

 

C-Mount 

Adapter

 

 on page 27.

When the C-mount adapter is in place, a lens with optics that protrude a long 
distance into the camera may interfere with the shutter blades. To calculate 
appropriate measurements, refer to page 27.

 

C-mount Assembly

 

To install the C-mount adapter (if not pre-installed): 

1. Using the .050” hex wrench provided, back out the set screws so they 

do not interfere with threading the mount in place. There is no need to 
remove the set screws.

2. Thread the C-mount adapter onto the lens or instrument adapter. Lock 

in place using the .050” hex wrench provided.

3. Thread the C-mount adapter into the camera. (In certain cases, it may 

be easier to thread the camera onto the C-mount adapter.)

To focus the camera:

1. If needed, back out the set screws until you can freely rotate the 

C-mount adapter. 

2. Using the instructions from your software program, bring your 

software into focus loop mode. For instructions on using CAMTEST

 

 

 

to focus, see the 

 

Focusing the Camera

 

 section of the 

 

CAMTEST

 

 chapter in 

the 

 

Software Guide

 

.

3. Hold the camera so it does not rotate, then use the lens or instrument 

adapter to adjust the C-mount adapter to the desired position. 

4. Tighten the set screws until snug.

To remove the C-mount adapter:

1. Using the .050” hex wrench provided, back out the set screws until you 

can freely rotate the mount. 

2. Unscrew the mount from the camera.
