Lens tube / nozzle mis match
Posted: Sat Aug 29, 2020
Heads up, if you get one of the Cloudray lens tubes, make sure you get the right nozzle.
I got the C series lens tube, expecting to just spin the N03 nozzle I already had right on. After all, it's listed as a related product on the C series web page.
They spin right on, but the focal point is INSIDE the nozzle by several mm. The N01F nozzle is around 10mm shorter. I had to flip the lens tube and use the 2.5" notch the 'wrong way around' and add a couple of O-rings to be able to use my 4" lens. Add my 10mm extension tube to the top, and I could drop a 5" lens in using the N03 nozzle.
