The new MallinCam Micro Series camera is a small video ccd camera capable of 1/100,000 all the way up to 17 seconds exposure, making these cameras versatile with many objects to be viewed live on a monitor.  The New MallinCam Micro Series video ccd cameras has been custom made to our specifications including several improvements such as:

  • Full heat shield over the main board to keep heat away from the CCD sensor to reduce hot pixels
  • A 1/3 inch 960H EXview HAD II CCD sensor is included as standard equipment. (a  SUPER HAD II sensor is available)
  • A complete extensive menu.
  • 700 TVL processor, output through a BNC 75 Ohms output
The Rear section of the camera has five push buttons  for easy access to the menu.  A RED pilot light is included to prevent loss of night vision of the user.  Light weight all aluminum construction, this camera is ideal for a Video CCD Finder System or for a beginner to get their first experience into the world of live video ccd observation (EAA).  The camera body is available for purchase separately, or as a package with additional accessories such as C-mount to 1.25" adapter, video/power cable and AC power supply or our new complete Observing Kit
