Motivation
The originalFoveal 2-Axis Fine_Adjustment Camera Mounts,modelswere designed a decade ago to match commonmachine vision camera mounting configurations.
But we realized that there are now lots of machine vision cameras out therethat use metric screws,but the hole patterns are not at all standardized.
Now we offer these mounts with slot patterns that will accommodatemany different hole spacings,and even 3-screw triangular patterns.

Featuresin common with all FM models
The 2-Axis Fine-Adjustment Camera Mountsmay be supported with the base down or the base up. In either position, the plate the camera attaches to can beeither below or above the camera.
When coarse adjustments are unlocked,there is sufficient friction to hold the camera in position. Coarse position can be set by hand.
Fine adjustments are made using a hex wrench,allowing for extremely fine positioning.
Independent adjustment of each axismeans each adjustment does not affect the other.
All adjustments and locking are made with a single 3/32 inch hex wrench. Reconfiguration is done with a 9/64 inch hex wrench.
Once the mount is locked, the camera does not move.
And the mounts are highly reconfigurable.
See theFine-adjustment Mountpage for other, non-metric models.

Camera Mounting Alternatives
Adjusting camera mounts can become tedious in tight or inconvenientspaces. We have made the Fine Mounts customer-configurable,so alternative placements of the adjustment screws are possible.| For example,it may be more convenient to have the pan and tiltcoarse- and fine-adjustment screwsavailable from the back of the mount.As this drawing shows, they can be moved.(Moving the pan and tilt screws are independent operations.We do not know why one would want to, but they can be on opposite sides.) |
| Note that these mounts can be configured with the tilt-axis L-bracket raisedabove the pivot. In this position, a small camera can be hung above the pan axis. Also, the tilt axis locks can be repositioned so the tilt L-bracket hangsoutside the pan-axis base.This can accommodate larger cameras anda wider selection of tilt positions. |
| Click to enlarge pictures and drawings. |
| Here are some examples with small- and medium-sized cameras. |
| Note also that there is an alternate pivot point on the tilt L-bracket,offset 0.5 inch. In this position, even larger cameras can be accommodated. |
| Click to enlarge pictures and drawings. |
| Here are some examples with medium- and large-sized cameras,and examples where the camera needs to be lifted a well above the base of themount. |
| Also, many cameras have mounting screws on top of the case,which means they can be hung from the top directly. |

| One customer needed to mount the camera from the rear. |
| And there are a few cameras where the mounting screw is on the side. The pan adjustment, which normally changes the pan angle now changes tilt,and the former tilt adjustment changes the pan angle. |
