Hello…Can someone please recommend which camera we need for our x900? working space is 37" x 22" the camera is mountable on the lid which is 9" from the workspace when it is at its highest adjusted setting.
This should be a simple mod but for some reason I cant wrap my head around which camera we need.
thx
No worries, it happens. That is one of the reasons we created a helper. 
Go to ‘Help’→’Camera Selection Help’, enter the size of your bed and you will see the mounting options for each camera. Double-click your choice to be taken to the page to purchase.
Oh, and look at what we have in the FAQ section… 
Ok. That’s helpful. But it doesn’t meet the ‘minimum’ mounting height requirements. According to the help page you provided, I believe the 8mp w-110 is the way to go, but the minimum on that camera is 15.75’. Am I missing something? My minimum should be 9”
Thanks for the prompt reply BTW. We’re not in Glowforge anymore Toto!
You’re likely measuring with the lid closed, not open. See here:

yes, you nailed it. being used to the glowforge, Camera operates with the lid closed so i automatically i thought the same for 900.
So my lid when fully open is 34" to the work area. Is it safe to say we need the 8mp n-75 w min mounting height 30.84", or the 5mp -60 with 44.86" mounting height?
Can you help confirm which camera given info supplied on thread?
The 8MP-N-75 , or the 8MP-W-95 will be your best options. I wouldn’t recommend the 5mp-60 for a machine as large as yours. The N-75 uses a smaller sensor than the W-95, and doesn’t work on MacOS, so if you’re running a Mac, the 95 is your best choice. Otherwise, either should work.
