Description

The Arducam LN029 is a precision-engineered CS-mount lens designed specifically to unlock the full imaging potential of the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera. Its 6mm focal length delivers a wide 65° horizontal field of view, making it ideal for applications requiring broader scene capture without excessive fisheye distortion. The bright F1.4 aperture significantly improves light-gathering capability, which is critical for indoor, low-light, or high-speed imaging scenarios where sensor performance is paramount.

Constructed with a manual focus mechanism, the lens provides embedded developers and imaging professionals with fine-grained control over focus depth, enabling crisp subject isolation and macro capabilities down to a 0.3-meter minimum object distance. The optical design is calibrated for the 1/2.3″ sensor format, ensuring minimal corner shading and chromatic aberration. With a robust metal housing and standard CS-mount threading, the LN029 offers a reliable, durable optical solution for permanent installations in surveillance systems, robotics vision, time-lapse photography, and industrial machine vision applications.

Key Features

  • Wide-Angle Imaging: 6mm focal length provides an expansive 65° horizontal field of view on a 1/2.3" sensor.
  • Superior Low-Light Performance: Fast F1.4 aperture allows more light to reach the sensor, reducing noise and improving image quality in dim conditions.
  • Manual Focus Control: Integrated focus ring enables precise adjustment for optimal sharpness across various working distances.
  • CS-Mount Compatibility: Standard CS-mount interface ensures a secure, flush connection with compatible camera boards like the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera.
  • Optimized Optical Design: Corrected for minimal vignetting, distortion, and lens shading, delivering clean, professional-grade images.
  • Compact and Durable Build: Metal barrel construction in a compact form factor (35mm diameter) ensures longevity in demanding environments.

Applications

  • Raspberry Pi HQ Camera projects for surveillance and security monitoring.
  • Machine vision and object detection in robotics and automation.
  • Time-lapse and wide-angle photography for nature or indoor scenes.
  • Educational and maker projects requiring high-quality, controllable imaging.
  • Industrial inspection and quality control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Arducam LN029 lens compatible with the standard Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2?

No, the Arducam LN029 is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi High Quality (HQ) Camera, which uses a larger 1/2.3" sensor and a CS-mount interface. The standard Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2 uses a smaller sensor and a different, fixed lens mount, making it physically and optically incompatible with this CS-mount lens. You must use the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera board for proper functionality and image circle coverage.

How do I focus the LN029 lens manually on my Raspberry Pi HQ Camera setup?

To manually focus the LN029, first securely attach the lens to the CS-mount thread on your Raspberry Pi HQ Camera module. Power up your Pi and stream the camera feed to a monitor. Gently rotate the lens's focus ring while observing the live image. Rotate clockwise for closer focus and counter-clockwise for infinity. For precise results, aim at a high-contrast target at your desired working distance and adjust until the image appears sharp. The manual mechanism allows fine-tuning for applications from macro (0.3m) to distant scenes.

What is the benefit of the F1.4 aperture compared to a standard lens for the Pi HQ Camera?

The F1.4 aperture is considered 'fast' because it has a large opening that admits significantly more light than a standard lens (e.g., F2.0 or higher). This allows the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera's sensor to capture clearer, brighter images with less motion blur in low-light conditions without needing to excessively increase ISO/gain, which introduces noise. It enables shorter exposure times for fast-moving subjects and improves overall image quality in indoor, nighttime, or dimly lit environments common in security, robotics, and timelapse projects.
