The CLA017 is made from black polycarbonate.

Is the CLA017-PC compatible with all M12 lenses?

Yes, the CLA017 accepts any M12x0.5 threaded lens, including all Commonlands M12 and S-mount lenses. It works especially well with shorter-barrel fisheye lenses that need 5-7mm standoff height.

What mounting screws does the CLA017 M12 lens holder use?

The CLA017 uses M1.6 mounting screws.

Does Commonlands offer lens and holder pre-assembly for the CLA017?

Yes, Commonlands will pre-assemble your chosen M12 lens into the CLA017 holder for orders of 100 units or more.

Does the CLA017 M12 lens mount ship same day from the US?

Yes, in-stock CLA017 holders ship same day from San Diego, California for orders placed before 12 PM PST.

The CLA017 is a low-profile M12 lens holder with 6mm height and 18mm hole spacing. It uses black polycarbonate, M12x0.5-6H threading, a 14.5mm x 14.5mm footprint, and M1.6 mounting screws.

This holder makes sense when vertical clearance is tight. Its 6mm height fits shorter-barrel M12 lenses such as the CIL207 and other fisheye designs that need 5-7mm standoff. The 18mm hole spacing matches many standard M12 camera board layouts. Polycarbonate keeps cost and weight down while still giving reasonable impact resistance.

Commonlands offers pre-assembly at quantities of 100 or more. We mount your chosen M12 lens into the CLA017 holder before shipping, which removes a manual step from your line and cuts the chance of cross-threading.

The holder is compatible with all Commonlands M12 and S-mount lenses that use standard M12x0.5 threading. Pair it with our M12 focus lock ring if the assembly will see vibration. You can use our field of view calculator at field of view calculator to choose the right lens for your sensor.

Commonlands keeps this part in stock in the US with 139 units ready to ship. Orders placed before 12 PM PST ship same day from San Diego.
