€220.22
Kurokesu C3 is an industrial USB camera family with interchangeable sensor and optics options in the same platform. The range includes Sony IMX415 for 8 MP / 4K imaging, Sony IMX462 for high-sensitivity 1080p capture, and onsemi AR0234 for 2 MP global-shutter imaging. Depending on variant, C3 is available as a boxed 33 × 33 mm CS-mount camera or as a board-level module with M12 or M12L lens mount. Filter options depend on the selected variant and include IR-cut, no-filter, and 850 nm NIR long-pass configurations.
C3 uses USB-C UVC connectivity with MJPEG and YUY2 video streams and supports manual image controls including exposure, gain, white balance, gamma, backlight compensation, anti-flicker, and software zoom/pan/tilt. For embedded integration, selected board-level variants are also available with a 5-pin JST-GH locking connector, with straight, right-angle, or unsoldered connector options and an optional USB-C breakout board with cable. Suitable for embedded vision, robotics, machine vision, industrial inspection, conferencing, and monitoring systems where sensor choice, lens flexibility, and stable USB integration matter.

Accessories
Kurokesu USB-A to USB-C cables with lock screws are custom-made cables for cameras and other devices that need a more secure USB connection than standard consumer cables provide. The USB-C connector uses lock screws to help prevent accidental disconnects in systems exposed to vibration, motion, or repeated handling. Available in USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 versions depending on model, these cables are intended for industrial, machine vision, embedded, and other integration-focused applications where connection stability matters.

Aluminium adapter for using low-profile or short back focus M12 lenses with CS-mount cameras. It provides an M12 lens interface on a CS-mount camera body, making it useful when compact board lenses need to be fitted to CS-mount systems. Long focal length M12 lenses can also be used with a 5mm spacer ring when additional spacing is needed. This adapter is intended for short back focus lenses, and with some lens and camera combinations the filter may need to be removed to achieve proper fit or focus. The kit includes 2x M2 DIN914 set screws and a 0.9mm hex key. Selected configuration preview and CAD models Gallery photos show real products and may represent similar configurations.
