Best Box & POV Cameras for studio use

A POV camera earns its place in the positions nobody can staff: bolted over a lectern, inside an organ loft, tucked into a set piece where a tripod would be in shot. Once it is up there it will not be adjusted for months, so the lens choice at install time is the picture you get.

These take C or CS mount glass, and the mount depth has to be right or nothing focuses at infinity. Plan the cable run as well - power, video and any control over a distance that suits the connector you picked. The virtue of the format is that it disappears; the cost is that everything must be decided before it goes up.
