Description
Achieve exceptional optical performance in a miniature form factor with our professional 5MP 6mm M12 Drone lens. Engineered specifically for large format 1/2″ image sensors, this high-definition fixed focal lens outputs a perfectly balanced 66° horizontal field of view with crisp 5 Megapixel resolution. Boasting an ultra-bright F1.8 large aperture and a robust 6G+IRCF (6 layers of glass plus an integrated 650nm infrared cut filter) construction, it delivers sharp contrast and true-to-life colors, making it the ultimate solution for professional aerial drones, automotive electronics, and smart security systems.
Key Product Highlights
- Optimized 1/2″ Large Format Coverage: Designed to fully resolve large sensor matrices, providing brighter images, a wider dynamic range, and excellent edge-to-edge sharpness compared to standard lenses.
- Stunning 5MP Resolving Power: Built with precision-ground optical components to support 5 Megapixel sensors, capturing critical forensic details and enabling cleaner digital zooming.
- Elite 6G+IRCF All-Glass Optics: The 6-layer all-glass optical structure guarantees high thermal stability and zero focus warp in intense environments, while the built-in IRCF layer eliminates daylight color wash.
- Ultra-Bright F1.8 Aperture: Floods your image sensor with light, ensuring bright, clear image capture and lower noise levels during dawn, dusk, or challenging indoor low-light situations.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is the main benefit of the 6G all-glass structure for outdoor use?
- A: Plastic lenses can warp and go out of focus when heated up by direct sunlight or electronics. This lens uses a 6G all-glass lens design, providing incredible thermal stability and excellent scratch resistance, meaning your image stays perfectly sharp in hot or freezing conditions.
- Q: What type of filter is included in the “6G+IRCF” design?
- A: It includes a pre-installed IRCF (Infrared Cut Filter), typically a 650nm filter. This blocks unwanted infrared wavelengths during the day to ensure true-to-life, natural color accuracy for your video stream.
- Q: Can this 1/2″ format lens be used with smaller 1/3″ or 1/2.8″ sensors?
- A: Yes, it is fully backward compatible. Using a large 1/2″ lens on a smaller sensor will slightly crop the field of view, but it yields outstanding edge sharpness because your sensor captures only the highest-quality center portion of the lens optics.
- Q: Is the iris or focal distance adjustable on this M12 model?
- A: The iris is fixed at a bright F1.8 for maximum light throughput. As a fixed focal lens, the focal length is set at 6mm. You focus the image manually during installation by turning the lens into the M12 thread until it is perfectly crisp, then locking it with an M12 ring.
- Q: What do the dimensions Φ14x19mm indicate?
- A: This indicates an ultra-compact body with a maximum front outer diameter of 14mm and a total length of 19mm. This lightweight, miniature blueprint makes it incredibly easy to fit into tiny drone gimbals or discrete camera housings.
- Q: What does the Back Focal Length (B.F.L.) of 9.58mm mean for installation?
- A: The B.F.L. is the physical distance from the rearmost glass element of the lens to the surface of the image sensor. Ensuring your camera module mount has enough clearance for a 9.58mm distance ensures flawless focus alignment.
