Has anyone tried purchasing a different lens for their Go Pro? I've read a few forums saying it's a fairly easy job to fit, but I was wondering if an aftermarket lens is worth a try? All in all, I've been extremely disappointed with the Go Pro. The way it handles sun glare and colour is impressive, but I feel the lens they have used is just too much of a compromise and most of the footage I am getting is in no way indicative of the actual flight conditions.
I'm looking at going for a 2X zoom to try and remove some of the fish eye results and get a better impression of speed and turbulence. I also need some more zoom because I've resorted to using a head strap for outside footage... but the plane is just a speck unless I do a fly by.
I'm really at a loss to understand why so many people are recommending the Hero 3 cameras. I've found it difficult to get a secure mount on foam models, limitations with the distortion across all the screen ratios and less importantly, I'm seeing massive performance impacts on my glider when using it (admittedly, my glider is a bit under powered for such a heavy camera and I'm willing to sacrafice performance for some good video!).
