Description
Maximize your visual coverage without sacrificing spatial accuracy with our professional-grade 6MP 4.3mm CS-Mount Drone Lens. Specifically engineered to unlock the full potential of high-density 1/1.8″ image sensors, this ultra Wide Angle Lens captures an impressive 140° diagonal field of view, making it an ideal choice for expansive monitoring. Unlike standard wide lenses that suffer from extreme fisheye wrapping, it features an advanced optical design that limits TV distortion to just -14%, qualifying it as a premium Low Distortion Lens. With integrated IR Corrected multi-coatings and a reliable F2.3 aperture, it maintains flawless day-and-night focus alignment. Whether deployed as a lightweight Drone & UAV Lenses component, a critical Machine Vision Lens, or an industrial-grade CCTV Lens, this versatile optic delivers the precise geometry control your vision system demands.
Key Highlights & Advantages
-
- 140° Ultra-Wide View with Minimal Distortion: The 4.3mm focal length offers a sweeping 140° diagonal coverage while keeping TV distortion under -14%, resolving the classic industry pain point of edge stretching in wide-area tracking.
- 6MP High-Definition Resolving Power: Tailored for 1/1.8″ formats to provide outstanding structural clarity and resolution across the entire frame, allowing for precise digital zoom during post-event analysis.
- Seamless Day/Night IR Corrected Technology: Advanced multi-layer coatings prevent focus shift when transitioning between daylight and infrared (IR) night mode, keeping your feed razor-sharp 24/7.
- Industrial Lockable Manual Focus: Built with a rugged CS-mount structure and a secure manual focus locking mechanism to ensure stable imaging under heavy industrial vibrations.

Applications & Compatible Equipment
Core Application Scenarios
This specialized Fixed Focal Lens excels in environments that demand a massive field of view without severe edge warping. It serves as an excellent Drone & UAV Lenses asset for aerial land surveying, multi-spectral mapping, and agricultural crop monitoring, where geometric accuracy directly impacts stitching data. In intelligent factory automation, it integrates seamlessly as an Industrial Lens and Machine Vision Lens to supervise large assembly lines, manage robotic cell boundaries, or guide automated guided vehicles (AGVs) through compact aisles. Additionally, its robust wide-angle engineering makes it a perfect industrial CCTV Lens for panoramic warehouse safety monitoring, train cabin security, and smart city traffic intersections where capturing multi-lane movements with low image distortion is critical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does a -14% TV distortion compare to standard wide-angle lenses?
A: Standard lenses with a 140° view usually exceed -40% distortion, twisting edge lines heavily. At just -14%, this Low Distortion Lens keeps lines relatively straight, saving massive computational backend power required for software dewarping.

Q: Can this CS-mount lens be directly mounted onto a C-mount camera?
A: No, a native CS-Mount Lens cannot focus on a C-mount camera because its back focal flange distance is too short (12.5mm vs 17.526mm). It must be paired natively with a CS-mount camera body.

Q: What is the main benefit of using this lens on a drone platform?
A: As a lightweight Fixed Focal Lens, its 140° view allows a drone to capture much more ground area per flight second, while its low-distortion optics ensure high stitching accuracy during orthophoto mapping generation (Drone & UAV Lenses asset).

Q: Does the “IR Corrected” design require any daytime filters?
A: No. Being an IR Corrected Lens means its internal glass elements are coated to focus both visible and infrared light onto the exact same sensor plane, eliminating focus shift when your camera switches to night-vision mode.

Q: Is the iris adjustable for highly variable sunlight conditions?
A: No, this model is built with a Fixed Iris at F2.3. Exposure changes must be controlled entirely on the camera side by utilizing automatic electronic shutter speeds or digital gain (AGC), standard for modern high-resolution vision setups.

Q: Can I use this 1/1.8″ format lens with a smaller 1/3″ sensor?
A: Yes, it is fully compatible. However, please keep in mind that due to the crop factor of a smaller 1/3″ sensor, your resulting field of view (FOV) will be noticeably narrower than the native 140° diagonal.
