$20 Fish-Eye Lenses for Playsport, ZX3, ZX1, Zi8, Zi6, Vado, Flip, Ultra, Mino,

I compare a couple sub-$20 fisheye lenses for my pocket camcorder Kodak ZX3 Playsport. It should fit on most Flip, Kodak, JVC, Vado pocket camcorders.
The underwater sequence was shot at 60fps, but slowed to 30fps for slo-mo effect.

hey im living in canada and i ordered it. this will be the 3rd week in and i still havent got it. is that right?

[MMMMMike5]

@MrWestsideballerz I'd say it could be closer to 4 weeks. Orders coming from DealsExtreme are never fast enough, but they have always arrived.

so its absolutely safe to put these lens in water?Are they totally waterproof or we will have humidity inside the crystals?Also does the glow has any problem with water long term or not?Anyone tested?I m going to put these on hard test if i get them so i want to be sure!

[MMMMMike5]

@Theokondak Reminder, It's a $20 accessory. I bought a second one, just in case there is long term effects. I've had mine in lake water, pool water, both salt and chlorine, and I have had no bad effects. It's been dropped several times and has lots of war wounds from plenty of use. Still works great. Yes, condensation can get inside, but it dries pretty quick.

@MMMMMike5 thanks for the swift answer MIke!Ok that makes sence.Its not a prof item after all.I would like to ask you another question though.If you search the net (did that on ebay actually) you will find that there are lot of accessories like this specific one,and some if not most of them has some super macro addition ring or something,is there such function in this kit?

[MMMMMike5]

@Theokondak This lens does not have the macro option. I did buy the wide angle with the macro from Deals Extreme, and the macro worked great.

awesome cheers for the vid I ordered one of these fe12's after seeing this for my Samsung W200 & it works a treat. Infact the ebayer messed up the order and accidently sent me 2 sshhh, so i have 2 for 13 pounds. I don't trust the magnetic ring so i also added a much bigger metal washer over the top of it using adheisive & it is sturdy as anything. I also fit a rubber 3-4inch washer around the base of the lens and attached a string so if it gets knocked off i won't lose it. brilliant :)
