? FAQ
Does the C505 have an autofocus lens?
No, the Logitech C505 uses a **Fixed Focus** lens. It is designed to keep everything sharp from a distance of approximately 40cm (15.7 inches) to infinity. This makes it perfect for standard video calls where you remain seated at your desk.
What is the difference between C505 and C505e?
The hardware and performance are exactly the same. The **C505e** is the “business” version, which often comes in simpler eco-friendly packaging for corporate bulk orders, while the C505 is the retail consumer version. Both work with the same drivers and software.
Can I use the C505 on a tripod?
The C505 does not have a built-in tripod thread. However, its universal mounting clip is very flexible and can be balanced on many surfaces or clipped onto various stands. If you need a native tripod mount, you might consider the Logitech C920 or C922 models.
