Boson+ CZ 14-75

5× continuous optical zoom, Boson+ sensitivity, one factory-integrated module.

The Boson+ CZ 14-75 pairs the ≤20 mK Boson+ core with a 14–75 mm f/1.2 continuous-zoom lens: factory boresight alignment, focus held through zoom and temperature, and a single-source system warranty. Wide-area awareness and narrow-field detail from one compact module.

Zoom: 5× optical, 14–75 mm
Sensitivity (NEdT): ≤20 mK
Resolution: 640×512
Weight: 390 g

UNIT · BOSON-PLUS-CZ

Overview

The Boson+ camera module and the 14–75 mm CZ lens are designed for each other. Factory alignment eliminates boresight wander through zoom, the control electronics compensate focus across the full temperature range in real time, and the upgraded AGC filter delivers dramatically enhanced scene contrast.

Because the camera and lens ship as one system, you get a single warranty from a single source and avoid the opto-mechanical integration risk.
