Robin.snapshots Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Does anyone here have some experience shooting the GoPro with the max lensmod on? If so, what housing were you using with it? I am looking to have a wider option for the gopro but would like to keep the setup small and contained so wet optics or big domes are not preferred in my situation.

Davide DB Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I don't think so. Already the normal lens suffers in water because of its wide FOV and flat glass. The Max Lens Mod increases the field to 170 degrees so a real fisheye and would need a proper dome. Water resistance drops to 5 metres and Gopro itself claims it is not optimised for underwater images. Your best bet is to buy an AOI or Inon wet lens. Here you have a video in Italian with English subtitles on mod 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin.snapshots Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 I have no expectation of it working without case or behind flat glass. My question is if somebody tried a housing that works and what the results were. So far I have seen some Chinese housings that look like this, they are curved a bit. Adding wet optics will most likely be a lot better but I don't want to make the setup bigger in my use case so they are pretty much ruled out. null Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
