M12 Lens Holders, Adapters, and Camera Module Accessories

Lens holders, adapters, optical filters, IR cut switchers, and autofocus motors for board mount cameras using M12, M8, and M7 lenses.

Most board mount cameras need additional components to utilize an M12 lens or M7 / M8 lens. We offer a number of off-the-shelf board mount lens holders and focus locking rings that will allow you to use our M12 lenses. We also offer lens adapters to use M12 lenses with C-mount cameras, M7 and M8 lenses with M12 holders. We also provide IR Cut Off Switchers that can be used for Day-to-Night applications and M12 Lens auto-focus motors (VCMs) for electronic focus control.

These accessories are designed to pair with our M12 lenses and M7 and M8 lenses, so you can build a complete camera module from one order. Metal and plastic holders are available in multiple flange heights, and our lens mount guide explains which holder or adapter fits your sensor board.
