How to adjust focus on HIRES Camera for Starling 2?
-
My Starling2 HIRES camera is very blurry and likely out of focus. Is there a focus ring/screw to turn for the lens? Can you please post a picture of what ring/screw to turn? Is there a way to set it to infinity?
Thank you!

Hello @newdroneflyer ,
In order to adjust focus of the hires camera, you need to do the following:
- loosen the screw that holds the lens and prevents it from turning. this will allow the lens to turn within the assembly
- turn the lens using the lens focus tool (should have come with your Starling 2), it is a black plastic tool that goes around the rim of the lens and allows you to turn the lens.
- after focusing, tighten the screw that was loosened in step 1.

Here is the picture of the focus tool, it has two sizes - one for hires camera, one for tracking camera (if needed). You should have received one with the Starling2 (in an envelope, probably different packaging).
