Features:

  • Why we need it: In case you’re disappointed with the fixed official cameras and want precise control of what gets into the frame of your image – like how wide and how close it is - we selected, tested and labeled a bunch of lenses and shrinks it all into a complete toolbox on your palm
  • What’s in it: This kit includes 10 M12 Lenses to cover almost any angles of view you’ll ever need, 10°/20°/40°/60°/80°/100°/120°/140°/160°/200° respectively on a 1/4” Pi Camera like OV5647 and IMX219. M12 lens holders, screws, specifications and even cleaning cloth are also in the box
  • What else is needed: It makes a perfect combo with “Arducam B0031”, a more flexible and slightly larger camera module for Raspberry Pi that uses M12 lenses to frame up the best image. You can’t use this kit directly with the official Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 because an M12 holder or 18/20mm hole spacing of the camera board is required
  • How to use it: Get a camera with an M12 lens holder, and screw one lens slowly into the M12 lens holder until you see a clear and sharp image on a video screen. Screw it out a little if you want to shoot objects close to the camera. Replace it with the next if it is not the best. Video: youtu.be/23jE0l8PTKA
  • NOTE: The 4 lens holders included come with 18mm/20mm hole spacing and 7mm/13mm heights. Typically lenses with a larger Field of View will require shorter holders, and that means you need to change the lens holder if the lens does not focus at all. Arducam CS Mount Cameras also work with this kit with holders replaced
Great value

I like the quality of these lenses.

The best way to identify the best lens for Arducam applications

Sure, we could just use the lens that came with the camera. We could have estimated which lens might be best for a given application. But this high quality, inexpensive and complete collection of lenses for our Arducam cameras allows us to easily determine the appropriate lens for our various applications. The kit is ideal for experimentation on the "optical side" so as to frame up the best image for capture, processing and display.

Amazing

These lenses are amazing. Though I wish they provided very exact dimensions so that you could tell if thread length and working distance match your camera.

Must have kit tools for projects

Must admit I was skeptical at first of those lenses; however, once we started to use them to ascertain what lens would be best for each project this kit became invaluable. The quality of the product was terrific and the team at Arducam were also very responsive to our inquiry. We now have purchased both kits packages and these will be the tools each engineer use in the field. We highly recommend it.

Nice little bundle

The flexibility these lenses add to the camera make them a worthy investment.

Great value, make sure it fits.

Make sure your arducam module has changeable mounts so you don't have to order a different one like I did.
