New Inon lens UCL-G55 SD - opinion

[Elvandar]

Someone have already tried the new Inon G55?
I saw it on their website and it seems really cool, but I'd like to see some more footage made with it before getting it, the only video i found online is their promo video on the page, that is also shared with another lens, the G100

I'll link the video to show what the lens should be capable of with a GoPro 😀

Thanks @makar0n, I asked in the other post if they got some footage for me 😁
About where to get it is not a problem, I already found a reseller in italy that has it avaiable 🙂

Just check the AOI version.

Their WA version has a terrific quality on par with Inon at half the price

I already saw that, but unlike the ultrawide (that i bough before the AOI was sold) the price difference is just about 50 euro
AOI Lente macro close-up subacquea per action cam gopro e smartphones AOI-UCL-03 (fotosub-shop.com)

and there is even less video review of it.

By looking at the spec, the aoi have a 90° view angle, while the inon is a 45°, and for the smaller subject I would like to film (Nudibranch of 1 cm or less) i think the narrower fov is better.

But this is just me without any video confrontation 🙃

I really would like a vs video like this between the AOI-UCL-03 and the UCL-G55 SD

Did you check the YT channel of @Puccio Distefano? 

The Dart Vader of UW Gopros in Italy 🙂

Yes, he did not yet went to the macro side of the GoPro (maybe for good reason xD)

FYI I build and test a support for the lens when it is no on the GoPro. First result, it's work's.

I'll give some info when i'm back at home.
