Abstract
The alignment of a camera system is less expensive when using a holder with a plurality of connecting pieces, each implemented for connecting, fitting or clamping with a counterpart of a camera housing or an objective, a holder that is implemented such that the connecting pieces or holder modules of the holder, where the connecting pieces are held rigidly or merely at rotation axes, are held rigidly with respect to one another along at least one common spatial direction.
Claims28
Alignment aid for a camera system of cameras with exchangeable objectives comprising:
- a holder with a plurality of connecting pieces, wherein the holder is implemented such that the connecting pieces or holder modules of the holder, where the connecting pieces are held rigidly or merely at rotation axes, are held rigidly with respect to one another along at least one common spatial direction,
- wherein
- the connecting pieces are configured to fit or clamp between a camera housing and an objective of a respective camera at a lens mount between the objective and the camera housing of the respective camera upon the objective being mounted to the respective camera by a part of the lens mount being loosely moved through an opening of the connecting pieces and being engaged with a counterpart of the lens mount so that the connecting pieces become clamped between the camera housing and the objective.
Alignment aid for a camera system of cameras with exchangeable objectives comprising:
- a holder with a plurality of connecting pieces, wherein the holder is implemented such that the connecting pieces or holder modules of the holder, where the connecting pieces are held rigidly or merely at rotation axes, are held rigidly with respect to one another along at least one common spatial direction,
- wherein
- the connecting pieces are objective/camera housing interface connecting pieces comprising, on a first side, a first mount member for connecting with a first counterpart of a camera housing of a respective camera and, on a second side facing oppositely to the first side, a second mount member for connecting with a second counterpart of an objective of the respective camera—wherein the first and second counterparts form a lens mount using which the objective is directly and exchangeably mountable to the respective camera.
Camera system, comprising
- a plurality of cameras with exchangeable objectives;
- a holder with a plurality of connecting pieces, wherein
- the connecting pieces are configured to fit or clamp between a camera housing and an objective of a respective camera at a lens mount between the objective and the camera housing of the respective camera upon the objective being mounted to the respective camera by a part of the lens mount being loosely moved through an opening of the connecting pieces and being engaged with a counterpart of the lens mount so that the connecting pieces become clamped between the camera housing and the objective,
- wherein the holder is implemented such that the connecting pieces or holder modules of the holder, where the connecting pieces are held rigidly or merely on rotation axes, are rigid to one another along at least one common spatial direction.
