HD30 – Micro-HD Low-Profile Camera

The HD30 has the option for different cable configurations and different lens options.

Cable Type

The HD30 camera connectors are a snap-lock MMCX coaxial connector and a tab-lock wire housing.  The cabling can breakout to a variety of different connector options:

Standard Pigtail:  RV-CAM-HD19-(_._mm)

The standard pigtail includes a cable that extends from the back of the camera, to a junction with built-in menu control and then to connections.  The cable extends 17.5″ from the back of the camera to the junction with individual breakouts extending another 8″.  Breakouts include: HD Video (BNC), NTSC/PAL Video (BNC), and Power (2.1×5.5mm Barrel).

HRS Power Pigtail(for Rugged Video Systems): RV-CAM-HD19-HP-(_._mm)

The HRS pigtail includes a cable that extends from the back of the camera, to a junction with built-in menu control and then to connections.  The cable extends 17.5″ from the back of the camera to the junction with individual breakouts extending another 8″.  Breakouts include: HD Video (BNC), NTSC/PAL Video (BNC), and Power (HRS LF07WBJ-6P).

HRS Integrated Pigtail Connector (for Rugged Video Systems): RV-CAM-HD19-IP-(_._mm)

The integrated pigtail option features a 6-pin Hirose LF series connector built directly into the back of the camera.  This connector includes pins for: HD Video, NTSC/PAL, Joystick OSD Control, and Power.  By combining all signals into one connector, these cameras can be connected with a single cable for both power and video.  This camera can be used with specialty Rugged Video systems wired for a single cable, or with the use of a breakout cable with virtually any video equipment.  The RV-CAM-HD19-IP also ships with a breakout cable allowing for setup, testing, and joystick control for setting adjustments.

Available Mounts

A number of other off-the-shelf mounting options are available for the HD30, each using the standard 1/4″-20 stud.

Big Mite – is a cast aluminum collar, machined ball, and spud. The spud can be bolted directly to a solid surface using a #8 to 1/4″ flat machine screw.  The collar is then clamped to the spud and locks the ball in place.  The Big Mite is a larger version of the MiniMite designed to support larger cameras in high vibration environments.

Mini Mite – is a cast aluminum collar, machined ball, spud, and extension with a flat base option. The spud can be bolted directly to a solid surface using a #4 to #10 flat machine screw.  The collar is then clamped to the spud and locks the ball in place.  Alternatively the spud can be affixed to the flat base which can be attached to a solid surface using 4 x #4 or #6 screws.  The Mini Mite is designed for smaller cameras like the HD29, HD19, HD21E, or HD30.

Ultra-Clamp Mount – is a cast aluminum frame with a poly-carbonate injection molded adjustment attachment.  This mount is clamped to a secure bar or flat with a hand screw.  Additionally the top may be removed and mounted directly to any surface using a 1/4″-20 screw.  This mount can hold any size Rugged Video camera.	Ultra Clamp Mount with Adjuster Arm
Locking Suction Mount – Is an injection molded poly-carbonate mount with the same aluminum collar and ball as the Big Mite.  The suction mount features a wide cup that can attach to any smooth, hard, clean surface.  The suction cup is secured with a lever that creates additional vacuum within the cup.  This mount can hold any Rugged Video camera, but should only be used inside the cockpit for portable installations.  The mount is secured with air-pressure and thus should be tethered to avoid injury should a change in pressure occur, or the mount was to lose pressure.

2.1″ Pedestal Mount – is a cast aluminum collar, machined ball, and formed steel flat base with overall height of 2.1″. The base can be attached directly to a solid surface using 3 x #4 screws.  The ball is secured with friction by using a winged screw.  The pedestal is designed for smaller cameras like the HD29, HD19, HD21E, or HD30.
