GoPro Hero2 Macro?

6 posts
  1. Hi all

     

    Does anybody know of a good Macro lens option for the Hero2? I'm coming up short in my searches for an off the shelf option so I'm happy to do some DIY work if someone can recommend a lens that will work. I'm looking at the MacroMate Mini which is meant for the hero3 or 4 and am wondering if I can rig it up to my hero2?

     

    Any help would be awesome

     

    Cheers

    Joe

  2. First u have to mod the hero 2 housing. From what I know there is only one option to do that and also enable you to add on Marco lens.

     

    That is the son option

    U have to do some diy but I have done it before... Not a piece of cake... But relatively easy

     

    This enables u to have 55mm thread that u can put any +10 lens on it. Marco mate, murami, etc... Shooting in narrow mode should take care of any vignetting issues...

  3. Awesome, thanks for that!

  4. Awesome, thanks for that!

    Hey! I just look at the link again. I realised that it's the accessories... Not the mod.

     

    Sorry about that. You can still write to srp and ask if they still have the mod available. The last time I ask... About a year ago. They have 10pieces left.

  5. yeah I found that too, but that actually sent me on a trail to another website which is still selling it

  6. Great!! Hope it turn out well for u
