So boost lens in store, changes fov to 182 degrees, comes with lens (screw on) & cover £/€49 ish, pre order/reserve currently.

Now does 182 degrees x 2 then minus 4 degrees for stitch stack up for an Osmo action 360… just sayin’

Anyone ordering one?

Not looking good for nd filters attachments

182-degrees! My only concern with these sorts of attachments is how robust they are. My Ultra-wide Lens Mod from GoPro has taken some knocks, but where those micro-scratches occur, the hydrophobic coating doesn't work, attracting water droplets during watersports and rain.

Osmo 360 that will release later this year will probably use this lens then.


Edit: It also looks like it is actually a lens and not just a filter.

IMHO:

1 sticks out from the body the actual  ring

2. lens flare concern, no  sample video at all or is there

3 can it be left on the camera and FOV boost lens off and capture standard FOV UW, W, and SD (standard dewarp)

4 how is it gonna react to EIS

5  no outer rubber ring protector

6 and   is it a strong glass, one drop Kiss it good bye with a scratch to a chip,

7 removal of each time, chances of  finger prints to dust, and last but least

8  is it o-ringed for waterproof, and   hope we do not forget to tighten down each time

9.  will a ND filter ring be optional, as curvature   does not allow a user to use multiple lenses, not  a DSLR

1o thank you DJI for making it and yes the OSmo 360 will use a  totally larger FOV lens and not that if aske

It'll be very similar to the way the Max Lens Mod/Ultra-wide Lens Mod on the GoPro works. Likely it'll produce a spherical image that the camera has to process. You can still have slow motion. 4K at 120fps is still available with the Boost Lens option turn on, which the GoPro can't do with the Ultra-wide Lens Mod. Just like the GoPro lens mod, I'd wager that the Boost Lens will give the best stabilisation of all with full horizon levelling.

well guess its a  on/off lens to shoot video and  if turning bost lens off the lens must get removed.     I'll wait for  people to buy first and show some footage. thanks

I’m not sure that I could use a lens with 182 degrees coverage. It’s bad enough now trying to cut out things you don’t want in shot! Plus the distortions that you get.

I would have liked a screw on narrower angle lens actually!

As per prior comments Ian kinda feels like beta testing hardware for the 360 incoming gives the devs chance to optimise the software needed for correction.  If DJI persist down this road a revised lens mount will be needed or a very big supply of o-rings for those lost, split etc.  Struggling to find a use case for 182 degrees personal.

I guess you won't have a narrower FOV lens just because it would add focusing depth issues. Or maybe a manual focus lenses like GoPro 13 but then it won't be an action cam anymore.

Well, by ‘narrower’ I mean slightly narrower. It could be an Action cam without and a general camera with. The original Osmo was narrower, but you are right, it’s close focus was naff. 182 is very wide.

I’ve no real use for 182 either tbh. I wonder what the edge stretching is like?

The Funny thing here is DJI is already a wide angle camera, I see no sense in getting one for me. unless DJI wants to send me one for testing purposes

Exactly ….. how wide do action based people need?  

Still saying out of stock on the dji app reserve only.

That’s strange. I could’ve sworn it was available this morning. I must've been dreaming ......

Iancraig10 Posted at 11-12 07:32

It could have been for a short time.

must be overly popular

Keep it its   $60.00
that lil notch is it a hole to breath or to use a  tool  totally need to know so be careful before DUNKING

There is no announcement, no review right now. But the price is OK at least. GoPro's Max Lens mod 2.0 cost 80USD as a sub, and 100 without subscription.

Are there any info about when will be available worldwide?

It was not in stock earlier today when I checked

Maybe I was seeing things. Or just assumed it had been released.

Anyway, doesn't think this lens would be for me since it is already very wide and don't want fisheye

Yes the original osmo action had a narrower FOV but consider it had a smaller sensor, and this helps with fixed focusing. This is the reason because I don't think we'll see a bigger sensor fixed focus action camera. It will need a more close aperture and this will make the bigger sensor useless.

I’m thinking it must have sold out if it was for sale, in which case there must be a demand for such a wide lens.

Not looking good for nd filters attachments

Hi there,
thank you for reaching out.

The ND filters and the FOV Boost Lens cannot be used together.

Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Hi there,
thank you for reaching out.

is it also note on the sale site

Personally i would rather have a telephoto lens  geting my 16mm view to 20-24mm  
i would not mind losing minimal focus distance in the prosses...
i gess its just me ...

no I totally agree  but I am sure  there may be some barrel distortion if  its to telephoto'd

Its suposed to be an action camera but when you want to film someone in front of you sking or mountain bike , you have to be so close to him otherwise he is going to be too tiny in the frame
I had the sony fdrx3000  with a 19mmm field of view lens  and it was much better.

I can see it being for instructional use and   may come in handy if I want it on a Rc car

Why is there no video showing this off?

Maybe DJI can not  place on their server or simply get one from stock and placed up in here.  till its  in ones hands we all have to wait

Even the usual suspects don’t want it either?

I've been wondering that too

Looks like a prod issue discovered very late :/

Ive been using the GoPro MaxLensMod 2.0 all the time with the Hero 12. It's very useful when you want to use single footage for both horizontal and vertical format in post. This is a common Moto vlogging use case where the subject is mostly centred or FPV; and having a wide FOV for vertical video makes it immersive, while still having the capability to use the same footage for traditional / horizontal format.
Im very interested in seeing test footage with this lens.

This is what we do with Action 4 with original lens

They don’t normally release promotional videos with all accessories, you might find some blurb on the shop site. You will also find that videos will release at various times after release I suppose to continue and to refresh. One thing dji are not short off is marketing they’re pretty good at it.
I also believe advertising something but showing its out of stock is marketing, its like saying all stock sold because of high demand creating more interest as to why.

Pre-roders are called reserve, out of stock is  just basically their sites quantity
