Please note that the following information applies only to the Elphel 10338 Sensor Front End and not to Apertus Prime . Elphel 353 cameras have a C/CS mount which is basically just a female thread (nominally 1 inch/25 mm in diameter, with 32 threads per inch). The flange focal distance is 0.6900 in/17.526 mm for a C-mount. C-Mount (The letter "C" is said to stand for "cine") is common for 16mm lenses as well as machine vision, automation and specialised television applications. Which has lead to a very wide range of lenses to choose from: List of almost 300 C/CS-mount lenses with sample...

Power Consumption Elphel offers the modified Elphel 353 camera that works with 12-36V DC for additional 50$. This modification is the key to enable mobile operation. The best efficiency range is said to be at around 15V. Typical Elphel camera power consumption: 2400 milliwatts just booted 3000 milliwatts after setting image parameters 3700 milliwatts streamer on 3300 milliwatts streamer off 3800 milliwatts streamer on and somebody playing the stream 5000 milliwatts with streamer on and HD writing at full speed (dd) 5800 milliwatts streamer on, HD and USB-flash writing at full speed If you are...

The idea is to make a universal rod support that could mount: The Elphel camera Any type of small PC (viewfinder) battery pack Recording Media (External 2.5" HDD Enclosure) Audio interface + microphone Matte box It is also important that the system is prepared for future hardware changes (like a bigger lens-mount or sensor-front-end) The following examples are designs by Elphel users/developers: This design by Oscar Spierenburg puts the camera body in a 45° to save space for the PC. The tablet PC (touchscreen) is placed upright (Portrait) position and can be re-postitioned. (Note: this is not...
