OAK-FFC AR0234 M12 Mounting to OAK FCC KIT

ZLu

Hello,

I purchased four OAK-FFC AR0234 M12 cameras intending to combine them for panorama and stereo with the OAK-FFC Kit and an OAK-FFC module. However, after receiving them, I noticed that I could only use 2 screw holes out of 4, as the other two were partially obstructed by the M12 lens mount. I cannot fit screws into them. It's the part where I labelled red.

Could you suggest how I should mount the cameras reliably?

I guess there is no easy way to mount it due to the location of the screw holes. I suggest if you can, to grind the plastic a bit in order for the screw head to fit. It shouldn't damage the M12 mount.

Alternatively, you could also use the same screws (but longer) that M12 mount uses to secure the sensor in place. Though two screws are generally enough if environment is stable.

Thanks,

Thanks for getting back to me.
I want to carry the rig outside to collect datasets, so the more secure the mount, the better.

The longer screw sounds like a good idea, as the thread is thinner than the head. But it still needs a bit of grinding.
I'm not sure if here's the best place to ask, but would grinding instantly void the warranty?

Very likely voids the warranty, yes.
