About this item

The Arducam 8mm CS-Mount Lens is a high-quality, manual-focus lens designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi High Quality (HQ) Camera. With an 8mm focal length and CS-mount interface, this lens provides a narrower field of view than the standard 6mm lens, making it ideal for applications requiring focused or medium-range observation such as surveillance, machine vision, and object tracking. This lens supports manual focus and features an adjustable aperture (iris), allowing you to fine-tune both the focus and the amount of light reaching the sensor. Whether you’re working in low-light conditions or bright outdoor environments, the adjustable aperture gives you flexibility to maintain image clarity and exposure control. Built with precision glass optics and a durable metal housing, the lens offers minimal distortion and crisp image quality. It seamlessly attaches to the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera using the CS-mount thread, and with the included C-CS adapter (if needed), installation is straightforward. This lens is ideal for developers, makers, and engineers looking for a professional-level optical solution to pair with the Raspberry Pi HQ camera for photography, video, or embedded vision projects.
