Flip Ultra HD DIY Lens Hack

A couple of people have asked me how I get the wide-angle interior car shots in some of my videos. Here's a very quickly thrown together (and admittedly very long) video that shows you really how simple it is to modify your Flip Ultra HD or Flip Mino HD with some off the shelf camcorder accessories and some super glue.

*UPDATE*
A bunch of people have asked about where to find the wide angle lens - I don't work for Best Buy but you can find it on their website here (you can also find a number of perfectly fine lenses at a number of perfectly fine retailers

(Note: This will probably void your warranty if you do it to your camera - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!)

@ells551 Lenses like that weren't available when I made this video - but it is definitely a viable alternative now!

@QCfocher Black line only appears not the 2x the wide didn't vignette. So I didn't do anything in particular to remove them, they just didn't exist on the wide angle.

5:24 Wide. 5:32 Normal. Just so you can flick back and forth to notice the difference.

Excellent, I've been shooting on a flip cam for my new online marketing series, and have been wondering if I'd be able to hack it to add a different lens. Hoping I can use an slr lens so I can get some depth of field going on with the video.

What rings are those and where did you buy them? also what wide angle lens is it? and could get different lenses to fit the ring?
