We open up the capabilities we built shipping autofocus adapters — mount protocol reverse engineering, focus algorithms, precision machining and production quality control — to industry partners. Whether you need an existing lens family mounted on your camera body, or a completely new optical-mechanical and electronic interface for your system, it starts with one conversation.
Projects in industrial cameras, high-speed cameras and astronomy cameras are already underway.
An adapter looks like a mechanical part. What is actually hard is the electronic protocol, the focus algorithm and unit-to-unit consistency — and we have already shipped that at scale.
The electronic protocols for Sony E, Canon EF and Nikon Z are fully reverse-engineered in-house, not a reference design — so we can adapt specifically to your body and lens combination.
All-copper and aluminium-copper alloy bodies CNC-machined, with flange distance, back focus and concentricity built into the tolerance analysis at the design stage.
Lens databases, focus curves, aperture control, EXIF and telemetry can all be developed to spec, with batch configuration and upgrades over Bluetooth or USB.
Prototyping, integration, pilot runs, fixtures and test flows are all in place — you do not have to commit to volume before the design is proven.
From production-line inspection to deep-sky imaging — if it means joining an optical front end to an imaging back end, reliably, we can help.
Machine vision and in-line inspection: flange distance and back focus adaptation for fixed focal, telecentric and line-scan lenses, C / CS / F / M42 interface conversion, with integrated locking and hard-stop structures.
High frame-rate recording: lightweight high-strength adapter structures, repeatable locating accuracy and anti-loosening design for long-duration vibration and shock.
Cooled cameras and telescope ends: back focus, filter wheels, focusers and M48 / M54 / T2 thread interfaces, keeping the image plane concentric with the light path.
Mechanical and electronic adaptation for microscopy, spectroscopy and endoscopy — non-standard flanges, custom routing and shielding.
Mechanical adaptation for PL / EF / E mounts and cine lenses, with follow-focus gears, power contacts and data communication.
UAV and vehicle platforms: lightweight, vibration-resistant, wide-temperature custom adapters and power solutions.
Take the whole package, or just the part you need.
From brief to production, every stage has a deliverable.
Brief: camera side, lens side, optical parameters, operating environment and expected volume.
Feasibility: flange distance, back focus, light path and electronic protocol review, with an initial concept and a price range.
Mechanical design: 3D modelling and tolerance analysis, with drawings, materials and process plan.
Prototype: sample build, then assembly, focus accuracy, endurance and environmental testing.
Integration & firmware: joint debugging with your system, including lens database, focus curves and communication protocol.
Pilot to production: pilot validation, fixtures and process lock-in, then volume delivery and version control.
These are typical ranges — actual lead times and minimum quantities follow the project assessment.
Custom projects usually start with a small pilot run and move to volume once validated. The number depends on mechanical complexity and whether firmware work is involved — you get a firm figure at the assessment stage.
Yes. We sign an NDA before the project starts and treat drawings, firmware source and process documentation as confidential.
Mechanical-only custom prototypes typically take 3–5 weeks. Projects that include firmware and protocol development and full integration usually run 8–12 weeks, depending on complexity and test scope.
Both ODM and OEM are supported, including silkscreen, packaging, manuals and firmware branding. We can also take on just the mechanical or just the firmware portion.
Fill in the list below and we will generate a pre-filled email. You can also write to business@funmount.com directly.
Tell us the camera side, the lens side and the operating environment. Our support team will run a feasibility check first, then hand over to the business team.
