Lens connection module and connection adapter for same

A connection adapter for a lens connection module, adapted for being magnetically mounted on an image capture device, the image capture device having a front face with a lens, the lens including a body that protrudes from the front face, the lens having a light entry opening, the connection adapter adapted for mounting an external lens in front of the light entry opening of the image capture device, the connection adapter comprising:

• a base unit configured to removably couple to the image capture device, the base unit comprising a joint face for facing toward the light entry opening, wherein the base unit includes a pathway wall which defines a light collecting pathway extending along a light axis, wherein the body of the lens protruding from the front face of the image capture device sleeves within an end of the pathway wall of the base unit and another end of the pathway wall is adapted to removably engage the external lens;
• a first magnetic unit including at least one magnetic component arranged on the front face in a radially asymmetric manner with respect to the light axis and adjacent to the body of the lens;
• and
• a second magnetic unit configured to magnetically engage with the first magnetic unit, the second magnetic unit mounted on the base unit and adapted to magnetically connect the joint face to the first ferromagnetic unit, wherein the second magnetic unit includes a magnetic component corresponding to the at least one magnetic component of the first magnetic unit and arranged on the joint face in a radially asymmetric manner with respect to the light axis.
