Flip Mino HD Fisheye Lens Test

Quick test of my new Flip Mino HD, I have retrofitted the camera with a 180 degree fisheye lens kit from a Creative Vado. Kit also comes with a macro lens and a wide angle lens. They are held on with a magnetic ring, making swapping of the lenses easy. Have seen a Bower lens but that is not a true fisheye, just a wide angle so gave it a miss.

Video itself was just of my bro warming his car through after a few weeks standing in the cold snap we've had, temps have got to -8c, not antarctic, but it's proper CRAP.

this looks more like a wide angle than a fish eye

@atticus1129 the wide angle lens came with the kit as well, given the tiny aperture of the lens to begin with on the flip it's not a bad effort. Vignetting isn't there so it's not an extreme fisheye as such.

how do i get a hold of these lenses?

[UnmuffledRyan]

@oldmanstalker SEARCH 180 FISHEYE ON EBAY, as mentioned above, there are loads of them. Stick the magnetic ring around your current lens aperture, and the fisheye just sticks to that via the power of "MAGNETS! How the fuck do they work?" - Inane Clown Posse, sometime in 2009.

Your steering wheel is on the wrong side . . . Ahhh the tricks of the fish eye.
