Frequently asked questions
What resolution sensors is the CIL216 195° M12 fisheye lens designed for?
The CIL216 is meant for 14-18MP sensors with 1.3μm pixels on 1/2.3″ format, including sensors such as the IMX219 and AR2020.
What is the image circle and FoV of the CIL216 fisheye M12 lens?
The CIL216 has a 4.7mm image circle with a 195-degree FoV, which produces a circular fisheye on 1/2.3″ 4:3 sensors.
What is the difference between the CIL216 M12A and M12B variants?
Both M12A and M12B use AL6061 aluminum barrels. The difference is in the barrel construction details, so check the mechanical drawing for thread and outer diameter specs before locking in a housing.
Is the CIL216 195° M12 fisheye IP67 rated?
No. The CIL216 is not IP67 rated, so it is better suited to indoor or mechanically housed installations.
What camera platforms are compatible with the CIL216 1.55mm M12 fisheye?
The CIL216 works with Allied Vision Alvium, FLIR Blackfly S, The Imaging Source M12 boards, Basler Dart S-Mount, and e-con Systems boards with an 8-15mm tall mount.
Does Commonlands offer STP files for the CIL216 M12 fisheye lens?
Yes. STP files and mechanical drawings for the CIL216 are available on request from our US engineering team.
