Macro Lens

Macro Magnifying Lens Designed To Slide onto the Hero3+ waterproof housing. Solid Glass Construction.

• Magnifying lens for Creative Close up Shots
• Glass Lens For Superior Scratch Resistance
• Provides 2.2X Magnification
• Includes: Macro Lens and Microfiber Bag

This all new macro lens for the GoPro Hero3+ is the perfect accessory for adding close up magnified shots to your GoPro Videos. This is our newest version which features a glass lens which provides even more magnification power than before. This new glass lens is also much more durable and scratch resistant than its predecessor.

This creative macro provides 2.2x magnification allowing you to capture super creative close ups like never before possible with the GoPro Hero3 Plus camera. We use the macro lens quite often to capture small details, for example we just filmed a car segment. The macro shots of the engine and wheels were the coolest shots in the entire movie. The GoPro Hero3+ is great at capturing wide angle shots, this macro lens accessory adds insane tight closeups to the mix, making it in our opinion, the sickest camera on the market.

The focal range with the macro on is from 2 to 18 inches, this means anything from 2 to 18 inches in front of the lens will be in razor sharp focus (currently the Hero3+ will only focus down to about 12 inches). Check out the video below and see exactly what this accessory can do.3

We are stoked on our macro lens because it adds so much creativity to our videos and we are excited it share it with you!

Installation

What installation!? We designed this to be as easy as possible, just slip it on to your GoPro Hero3+ waterproof housing and start shooting? We designed a very snug pressure fit which installs and removes in less than one second!

1. For Close Up Scenes: How close are we talking? This Macro will work when filming subject’s 3inches to 14 inches away from the camera. The macro Lens Zeros in on the close subject and eliminates distractions in the background (see Picture Below).
2. For Adding Creative Angles: The macro unlocks a new level for GoPro edits. Normally GoPro Edits include a ton of wide angle shots. This lens allows you to change that up and surprise your viewers with a new perspective. Some cool macro shots we have had are: Close up scans of Ski/Snowboard Binings, Surfboards, Little animals eating food. There are a ton of cool shots you can get up close, to make your edits sick.

1. The crispiest Macro shots will turn out when subjects are 3 inches to 14 inches away.
2. Use the LCD bacpac or the GoPro app to get a good feel for the focal range of your new Macro
3. This is how your video will look with each FOV setting:
Narrow: A tight close up view with only your subject in the frame which is 3 to 8 inches away.
Medium: Our favorite setting, captures the crispy close subject then adds a slight blur to the background, bringing all of the focus/attention to your close up subject.
Wide: This one gets really creative, the edges of the frame are going to be distorted (like a fisheye lens) and then the close up subject will be in razor sharp focus. This setting will show the biggest focal swing, with everything close in sharp focus, and everything beyond 18inches out of focus. Our comparison video was shot in all Wide mode.
