What’s C-Mount and CS-Mount?

C mount is a screw mount that fixes the camera and lens by screws.

Inner diameter 25.4 mm (1 inch), screw pitch 0.794 mm, flange back 17.526 mm is C mount standard

With the miniaturization camera, there is also a CS mount that reduces C flange back by 5 mm.

(The caliber and screw pitch are the same.)

Depending on the camera, 5 mm thick rings may be installed to both C mount and CS mount, so that It’s necessary they can be removed.
