Install a Lens Mount

NOTE: You can change lens mounts in the field. However, RED recommends that you change lens mounts only in a dust-free environment.

REQUIRED TOOL(S): T20 TORX driver

1. Ensure that the camera is turned off and remove any accessories or cables that may interfere with installation.
2. Inspect the gold electrical contact pins on the front of the camera and the gold contact pads on the rear of the lens mount to ensure that they are free of any contamination.
3. Align the lens mount on the front of the camera. The camera connection pins must align with the lens mount pins.

   NOTE: For EPIC and SCARLET cameras, the DSMC Fan 2.0 (Bottom) and the DSMC S35 Mg PL Mount 2.0 are not natively compatible with each other, since the fan grill prevents the lens mount locking ring from rotating. To use these devices together, remove the lower tabs from the locking ring using a T8 TORX driver.

4. Replace and loosely tighten the four (4) M4x0.7 x 8 mm lens mount screws in a cross pattern (“X” pattern) using a T20 TORX driver.

   WARNING: DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN.

   NOTE: Some lens mounts have captive screws that are not removable.

5. Tighten the four (4) lens mount screws evenly in a cross pattern (“X” pattern) using a T20 TORX driver. DO NOT exceed 350 in-oz, or damage may occur.

   WARNING: DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

6. After installation, a hardware rediscover or firmware upgrade may be required, particularly if you are installing a MOTION MOUNT. To perform a hardware rediscover, go to Menu > Settings > Maintenance > Rediscover. A system reboot is required after a hardware rediscover.

   NOTE: If you need to replace any screws, submit a Support ticket at https://support.red.com.
