Moravian C5S-150 Camera

The C5S-150M shares the same Sony IMX411 150 MP sensor and advanced cooling of the C5A-150M, but in a symmetrical, low-profile housing. Without a shutter, it minimizes obstruction at prime focus—ideal for instruments where central blockage must be kept to a minimum. A hardware trigger port enables precise exposure timing.
