I've lost my mind and got into cameras as a hobby and now have three heros, there all different and wanted to share some different footage them and keep track of whats what as these products keep coming out. If you have or hear of a new lens let us see what ya got...
first up is a hero 3+ back-bone with the kowa 3.5-10mm 5mp lens. took it out around sunset to look at some lit, some not lit plants by hand. This was set to 5.5mm. looks a little out of focus, it is really hard to keep that big manual lens adjusted, no preview like a normal dslr, that zoom part doesn't exist so you guess
Stuntcams 5.4mm 10mp replacement hero 3 lens. it is fully focusable, but no iris, more like a stock format, seen a guy flying it in a zen so it is compatible there. it is about like a 40-50mm lens on a 35mm sensor
was easy to focus, easy to use, but hard to mount, they want $300 to put it in, it might be worth it. The dust between having the sensor exposed then working again is tough to manage unless your experienced, gotta remove the lens and sensor on both these mods. Te stunt cams just has you glue in a m12 plastic threaded ring to the top of the old lens holder and screws in. Crazy easy, the little rings a fpv cam use to double nut and lock the lens in, and it's like that thread for the lens, security style. This lens is jello city, and it hates nd filters, but loves cp so you will want a cp like polar pro to run this thing...
