Gopro 2 fisheye fix
« on: February 13, 2013, 02:20:36 PM »
When the Gopro Hero came out, the RC guys found a Sunex lens that would eliminate the fisheye, the only problem was, the lens didn't fit in the waterproof housing.

I did a recent search for the Gopro 2 and eliminating fisheye with a lens change and have been reading stuff on the RC forums.  Here's a video of 2 Sunex lenses that fit the Gopro 2 and how they compare to the factory lens. I think the DSL 377A will fit in the waterproof housing and was thinking of giving it a try but shipping to Hawaii is $50 2 day air or $60 overnight.  Would be nice if anyone else was interested to do a group buy. 

The video is long, but a thorough comparison.

Almost eliminates the curve view.  Do you know if the hero3 is also
refitable with a sunex?

I think the only one available right now is made by Ragecams, but I tried one of their lenses in my Hero and didn' t like it and their lenses are quite expensive.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out.  Still early days for me with the gopro.
