Must have if you’re a regular GoPro user. Improves both video and picture quality, and depth of field. However, video is capped at 2.7k but does have horizon lock. Picture mode will only take single pics, so no time lapse or burst. Also, you won’t be able to use the lens mod with a water housing. Definitely worth having, and the media mod and light mod is a must to compliment the video and pic mode.
A glaring ‘con’ though is it’s limited resolution, With the lens attached, you can shoot max 2.7k 60fps. Good news is that it can easily be upscaled to 4k. The image quality is what you would come to expect from GoPro.
Super lente, sotto acqua sconsigliata, poiche il superwide non mette a fuoco… Per il resto lente unica!
It is a bit hard to install on the GoPro 10 but it is nice quality. I wish they made a filter/protector case for it.
utilizzato su giostre a Gardaland,fantastico . Ho fatto delle riprese perfette meglio di qualsiasi stabilizzatore con la gopro 10
Lens works good on the hero 10. The only negative is that the fit is tight. Makes a metal on metal grinding noise when tightening it.
Expensive, makes for some very interesting video angles though and great quality glass.
Note – once the Max Lens mode is enabled – maximal resolution would be 2.7@60 fps.
The filter looks pretty solid seats firmly and looks nice.
The view angle is very narrow, but if you are using came mount and can level the camera, think twice before buying.
Llego mi lente en excelente tiempo, antes de lo esperado. El lente max lens muy til de buena calidad, estoy muy a gusto con mi compra, recomiendo comprar productos de Amazon Mxico o de Amazon EU. Excelente relacin calidad-precio
Ok I admit that I bought this direct from the GoPro site but it’s the same company as on Amazon and the same price and I must say it does exactly what it says it does. It comes in a very nice protective case and a super soft cloth to clean it it fits perfectly and is very easy and smooth removing it and fitting it on I have to say I’m very impressed with the quality and would definitely recommend it for your GoPro 10
Schnes Addon zur Hero 9, tut was es soll, habe ich auer im Wasser immer drauf.
Despus de comprarme esta lente estoy pensando en comprarme la GoPro Max.
Just slightly pull out the standard lens and Twist, that’s all. (Same when you transfer the new one.)
Astonishing results, awesome and open view.
Do your homework and forget about the rest.
Its a good accessory for go pro. But note one thing it does not give 360 degree view because thats a different camera go pro max 360 or insta 360.
You will get one more level of stability and some more degrees of wide angle.
So I just ordered this yesterday. I know there’s a huge Amazon facility in Utah so that’s probably how it got delivered so fast. I was easily able to remove the lens on my hero 10 and swap this lens onto it (tool free). Not sure if they’ve changed something with tolerances. I’m giving 4 stars for now until I actually utilize the lens for it’s intended purpose. Right off the get go, the first video had some strange shaky distortion even being set to max lens mode. It did keep the video horizontal though no matter how far I tilted the camera.
Tive um problema ao encaixar (veja a foto) e isso recorrente com a GoPro Hero 9 + Max Lens, mas eu consegui resolver: se isso acontecer com voc, basta borrifar WD-40 em um cotonete e passar na parte metlica da cmera (tome MUITO CUIDADO para no cair WD-40 no vidro da cmera ou da lente).
The second picture is the right way to put it the max lens! It’s fit perfectly!
This lens on my Hero 10 is amazing. With apparent sorcery, when installed and selected, allows the camera to be rotated, even completely upside down, while keeping the video horizon upright and level. Magic. Absolutely worth the price.
Accesorio para tu Gopro 9 y 10 con el cual tendrs mas ngulo de visin, cuesta mucho ponerlo la primera vez, despus ya encaja mejor, ten en cuenta que no puedes grabar a ms de 2.7k. A mi parecer el producto es caro, podra ser ms barato, pero bueno.
Definitely would buy again!
The Max lens mod is a great addition to the Hero 9 or 10. As well as adding new modes, it takes horizon levelling to, er, the next level – allowing you to completely spin the camera 360 degrees and still have the video stay level. Amazing! Not cheap, but well made and has a protective case included too.
I see people all over fighting the install of the mod lens. Look it up on youtube. I put dry PTFE spray on a paper towel and rubbes it o. The bottom of the ears on the camera. The lens went on with no tools or agervation. Picture looks great.
Superview pics are also great.
Funny part is I brought this to get timelapse thinking that I will get near 360 degree view of sky but timelapse option itself is not available after installing this.
I have used this on a few bicycle rides. Works fantastically well with horizontal leveling.
A couple concessions would be max 2.7k resolution and no timelapse mode just hyperlapse mode.
If you’re unlucky like me mounting is an absolute pain literally. The final 5-10 degrees of rotating really needs to be pried on with a towel or something simila
Wrd mir den MaxLensMod jederzeit wieder kaufen.
The shots look very stable like you were using a professional gimbal, the horizon level is perfect and the way u started shooting is the way that will be locked in the up side at the up right position (vertical as Instagram Stories 9:16 or horizontal as 16:9).
The only inconvenient is that the mod desables all the others videos possibilities but 2.7K 60fps (video).
The same happens to photos (only a few possibilities of config are left).
However, you can always take out the mod and use the original one for all your other needs.
Usually, I do not review this early in ownership.
Yet, this is something to mention now.
For me, both the default lens cover (on my GoPro Hero 9) and this Max lens are both extremely hard to get off and on with first few usages.
It was to the point I had to use a cloth (to protect the lenses) and an adjustable slip joint channel lock piers to get both lenses on and off.
A tip is to use the Max lens case to hold the Max lens as much as possible when taking the Max lens on and off.
After a few of uses of taking on and off, both lenses were a little bit easier to take on and off. Yet, still very hard to take both lenses off and on.
Hopefully within time of taking both lenses off and on will make it easier to take on and off in the future.
I believe this is due to the lens mount on the camera (GoPro Hero 9) itself and not the mount on the lenses. Which would explain why some do not have this problem, while others do have this problem.
If this does not work for you in time, then the Max lens has its Lifetime warranty, and the GoPro Hero 9 has one year warranty.
Also, with the yearly subscription with GoPro online services they will also give you complete replacements of your camera as well (two replacements per year I believe).
I will try to work it out to loosen it a bit. To see if that works.
Otherwise, the Max lens for the GoPro Hero 9 is well worth i
Lastly, I was unfortunate to be one of the people who had a lot of trouble installing the lens since it gets stuck at like 95% attaching it full on. Some people used wrenches to twist it all the way but I found out that if you untwist it and twist it again a few times, it eventually gets on with ease (at least for me it did). I think the metal bracket wears a little and levels with the clamp on the Hero 9.
After switching between the protective lens and the MLM multiple times, it will become smoother and easiler.
For all of the 1st installations, I had to use a wrench to tighten it. It was really hard to do by hand. But after taking it off, I was able to put it on by hand. It’s probably very tight to meet the water resistant rating.
It works well and I love how smooth the footage is. I also like the additional FOV that is has over the stock lens.
I am knocking down a star, because once the lens gets scratched, you have two options… Try to buff it out or buy another. I wish there was a lens protector that doesn’t compromise clarity!
The GoPro Lens Mod works great! I use it on my motorcycle. Gave it 4 stars because it was so hard to get the lens off. I had to use pliers to twist the lens off. The Lens Mod went on without any problem. Can’t understand why other reviews say about the lens being crooked when they put in on the GoPro9 Black.
– great wide view with very minimal fisheye effect
– enables you to film in hypersmooth boost mode with horizon lock on (can spin camera in full 360 and always maintains flat & stable horizon – extremely stable footy in worst conditions imaginable)
– still waterproof
– great quality
CONS:
– very hard to put on/remove the first time or two – get a friend with strong hands to put it on if you struggle *DON’T USE TOOLS!
– cannot film in 4K/5K – limited to 2.7K max (I get around this by shooting in 2.7K with 16:9 aspect ratio, then I upscale the footage to 4K with a 16:9 ratio – this allows you to upload to YouTube in 4K and is super easy to do with any film software – I post videos on Instagram in 16:9 as well so my videos aren’t cropped)
– no ND filtering capabilities – I wish they sold two versions of the same mod so that I could have one with ND filtering to provide a cinematic distortion effect to the outer portions of the road/trail when I’m riding my motorcycle/dirt bike.
– expensive, but worth it for shooting in bumpy/fast conditions
No regrets on the purchase. Even doubled down to get a second one for my other Hero 9 that I shoot with while riding.
