C-mount

A C-mount is a standardized type of connector used to attach cameras or lenses, primarily in scientific, industrial, and CCTV applications. It consists of a threaded metal ring that ensures a secure and precise fit between the camera and the lens or other accessory. The "C" designation refers to its specific thread size (1 inch diameter with 32 threads per inch). This standardization allows different components from various manufacturers to be compatible and easily interchangeable. Overall, a C-mount provides a reliable, easy-to-use connection point for optical equipment, ensuring proper alignment and focus.
