VLC STL Mount for Lepus-STL/NGC214
NEW! VLC - Variable Length Camera Adapters
#19397 - Designed for use with Lepus and NextGEN Telecompressors
The Optec
#19397 Variable Length Camera adapter makes setting
your camera at the perfect back-focus distance quick and simple. With an
integrated female STL thread base to fit the Lepus-STL or NGC-214 telecompressor
and any camera with a female T-thread interface, the #19395 VLC can set the back-focus
from 25 to 42mm. Refer to the back-focus diagram for your Lepus-STL or
NGC214 telecompressor lens to determine the
optimal back-focus distance.
Each
VLC adapter has a precision engraved scale showing the distance in
millimeters from the T-thread or STL-thread seat to the base of the
adapter. When calculating the back-focus distance for your
telecompressor and camera setup, use the engraved scale to set the
correct distance remaining after subracting for the camera sensor depth,
filter wheel thickness, OAG thickness, etc. With the
included locking ring, sub-millimeter precision can be achieved for
setting the camera back-focus to telecompressor distance
exactly at the optimum location.
Other VLC Adapter Models:
Available in four models, the VLC adapters are available with T-thread or STL 2.156"x24tpi thread used in many SBIG, QSI and other cameras. VLC adapters are available to fit the 2.1-inch OPTEC-2100 dovetail on the Lepus or NextGEN telescompressors, or the male STL thread on the camera side of the #19405 Lepus-STL and NGC214 model telecompressors. These Variable Length Camera adapters can be used in place of the fixed length NextGEN and Lepus camera mounting plates, or in combination with the T-thread extenders available from Optec or many other manufacturers.
