Camera confusion - answer requested

[c412sz (c)]

How do I know which camera to purchase? Which degree camera is right for me? My bed is 1000x600. I don’t have it yet (will be here in a few days) so I don’t know what the minimum height is from which it will be mounted.

My guess is the 8MP Camera (4K-N). Would that be the right camera?

Also, how is that “A middle ground between our high-quality 8MP-wide cameras and the 5MP cameras…” as the description states?

Hello there,

Have you seen this?

After the selection of your bed… it gives you the minimal height. And when you doubleclick on a camera you get to the purchase page right away!

In order to choose a camera, you will need to take some measurements of your laser.
We have a great resource to help you with camera selection:

Which LightBurn Camera Should I Get?

We have a great new feature in the latest builds to help you with that. In the Camera Control window, right click and then choose “Camera Selection Help”. Also found in ‘Help’→’Camera Selection Help’.

Double-click on the camera listing and it will take you to a page where you can purchase it. [image]
