Abstract
The present teachings provide an image capture device including a bayonet and an integrated sensor and lens assembly (ISLA). The bayonet is connected to a body of the image capture device. The ISLA is connected to the bayonet. All or a portion of the ISLA extends into the body of the image capture device. The ISLA includes a lens assembly having a forward end and a rearward end and an integrated sensor. The integrated sensor is connected to the rearward end of the lens assembly. Fasteners extend through the bayonet into the forward end of the lens assembly to connect the ISLA to the bayonet.
Claims20
An image capture device comprising:
- a bayonet removably connected to a forward side of a body of the image capture device;
- an integrated sensor and lens assembly (ISLA) connected to a rearward end of the bayonet, wherein all or a portion of the ISLA extends into the body of the image capture device, and wherein the ISLA comprises:
- a lens assembly having a forward end and a rearward end;
- an integrated sensor connected to the rearward end of the lens assembly;
- first fasteners extending through the bayonet into the forward end of the lens assembly to connect the ISLA to the bayonet;
- and
- second fasteners extending through the bayonet into the forward side of the body to connect the bayonet to the image capture device.
An image capture device comprising:
- a body;
- an integrated sensor and lens assembly (ISLA) located at least partially within the body of the image capture device, wherein the ISLA comprises:
- a lens assembly comprising:
- a forward end,
- a rearward end;
- and
- an integrated sensor having a forward side connected to the rearward end of the lens assembly, wherein the lens assembly has a footprint and 100 percent or of the footprint of the lens assembly is concealed by a footprint of the integrated sensor when the integrated sensor is connected to the rearward end of the lens assembly and viewed from a rearward side of the integrated sensor along an axis that extends through the rearward end of the lens assembly.
An image capture device comprising:
- a bayonet connected to a body of the image capture device;
- an integrated sensor and lens assembly (ISLA) connected to the bayonet and extending into and located within the body of the image capture device, wherein the ISLA comprises:
- a lens assembly comprising:
- a forward end,
- a rearward end;
- and
- fasteners extending through the bayonet into the forward end of the lens assembly to connect the ISLA to the bayonet;
- and
- a modular lens comprising lenses, wherein the lens modular lens is connected to the bayonet of the image capture device by a threaded connection, press fit connection, fasteners, or a combination thereof, and wherein the modular lens is located in front of the forward end of the lens assembly along an optical axis of the image capture device.
