KEHIPI 6mm CS-Mount Lens for Pi HQ

This wide-angle lens is built for the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera using a CS-mount thread. It provides a 6mm focal length with manual focus control and an adjustable aperture that opens to F1.2. The optical format is 1/2.3 inch and the horizontal field of view reaches 65 degrees on the HQ sensor. The unit measures 30 by 31 millimetres and weighs 53 grams.

Suits HQ Camera owners wanting a wider view

Makers who need a broader perspective for robotics, surveillance or machine-vision projects will benefit from the 65-degree horizontal coverage. The fast F1.2 aperture also helps in lower-light scenes. Users of the older Raspberry Pi V1 or V2 camera modules should look elsewhere because the field of view drops to 37 degrees on those smaller sensors. The lens also ships without an IR filter, so buyers requiring built-in infrared blocking must add one separately.

6mm focal length and 65-degree HFoV on HQ Camera

The 6mm focal length combined with a 65-degree horizontal field of view on the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera is the decisive specification. It determines how much of the scene fits in the frame and whether the angle matches the application. If a narrower or wider angle is required, a different focal-length lens from the same CS-mount series should be chosen.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 6mm lens is focused correctly on my Raspberry Pi HQ Camera?

Set the camera to live preview, point at a subject at least 0.2m away, and turn the manual focus ring until the image is sharp across the 65° horizontal field of view.

What comes in the box with the KEHIPI 6mm CS-mount lens, and what must I provide?

The package contains the 6mm F/1.2 lens weighing 53g at 30×31mm; you must supply the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera module, a CS-mount adapter if needed, and an IR filter because none is included.

Which focal length should I choose between the 6mm, 8mm, 12mm, 16mm and 25mm versions for the widest view on the HQ Camera?

The 6mm version gives the widest horizontal field of view at 65° on the Raspberry Pi High Quality Camera, while the 8mm, 12mm, 16mm and 25mm options narrow progressively to 50°, 30°, 24° and 14° respectively.
