Nikolausz Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Most of the time my GoPro will sit on my larger sony camera setup, but time to time I take a single action camera with lights. Yesterday I tried a new setup with a single GoPro12 with AOI wide lens adapter and two Weefine lights. I think this is the maximum level worth to pimp up your GoPro. It Included: GoPro12 AOI UWL-03 Divevolk tray with two grips 2 Weefine Smart Focusd 7000 Weefine remote control unit 2 fiber optic cables BGNing Trigger rod shutter 4 floating arms You may further improve it with an aluminium housing and better and more expensive lights, but it would be overkill. I have an aluminium housing for an older model and the size and weights were more disadvantage then the added advantages (robustness, better depth rate etc.) The best thing in this setup is putting the control of the light and the shutter release close to the grip. The AOI lens improves the image quality, but it's a bit problematic to use it under turbid condition. How does your top GoPro setup look like? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.snapshots Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) Your sunhood could use a little adjustment 😀 This is indeed a very capable setup like this. Have you thought about adding a macro wetlens to the setup? There is the AOI ucl-03 that fits on the bayonet system but I don't have personal experience with it.

I haven't tried the macro wetlens and will probably skip it. I have a bigger camera (Sony A6400) with proper macro lenses (30mm, 90 mm) and I also have other solutions for actioncamera macro (replaced, adjusted lens). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdDarkDiver Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Thank you for this! I find my biggest gripe with the gopro housings is hitting the "shutter" button with thick gloves on. I hadn't seen that Trigger rod shutter before - definitely gonna pick one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ordered here: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005004323302764.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.39.42d35c5fq0pu67&gatewayAdapt=glo2deu It was really worth it. I also like the wire control of the video lamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
