Distance from _top_ of BMCC to lens-center?

PostSat Jan 26, 2013 4:21 am

I'd appreciate it if BMD support or anyone who has a BMCC could reply with the vertical distance between the top of the BMCC and the lens-center?

(In other words, how far above the center of the lens mount is the top of the cam?)

Thanks in advance!

Awkward thing to line up but I'll say 6.1cm

Thanks for that. Closest I was able to find online was "62.5mm", but since I don't have a cam yet, I had no way to confirm. Cheers.

6.25 is probably dead right. It's not the easiest thing to measure with 2 surfaces. Well not not easy for an idiot anyway.
