★How to make a REAL Fisheye (Cheap and easy way)★

All you need is a wide angle lens ( 20 bucks at bestbuy) and than follow these steps.

The lens I'm using in this video is a fisheye, but this is what you do to make a wide angle lens into a fisheye( couldn't find my wide angle lens).

if you guys want anymore proof than watch my newer videos. i use a $15 wide angle lens and used this method and it looks just the same as a fisheye

[reytr0]

all of you guys are idiots. he used his fisheye because he couldn't find his wide lens. all he did was demonstrate the principle of what to do on a wide lens. keep it up man

@reytr0 thank you, finally someone who has a brain

if i go to bestbuy can i find a wide angle lens that is a different size ( my camera is old and big and has a really big lens)

@DefinitionOfStupid nothing is stolen. I have only one video which I used a paid template for. Everything else is mine.

Besides I said I'm an industrial photographer, what is on my channel are mostly what I like to do, it's not what I make money with or what I'm best at.

@ramin85 if you spent 35000 on equipment than why on your channel all your videos are stolen tv videos. if i spent that much on filming equipment i would be putting it to use. if your going to lie you should try to make it believable at least...

@ramin85 But it does create a REAL fisheye. It may not be as wide of an angle as professional fisheyes, but it clearly widens the field of view by a decent amount. Ive made my own fisheyes using this method, and with a peephole for a door, and both of them have given me around a 160 degree FOV.

@TeDubbs If you think this will work for you go ahead and do it. I won't say that this method wouldn't work for filming some street skating footage, but this is NOT a fisheye lens equivalent!!

I'm an industrial photographer, I've done these experiments before. Trust me, if this was the solution I wouldn't have spent $35,000 and counting of my hard earned money on equipment. That is why I still look for CHEAPER ways prep my equipment. Some equipment I can build cheap, and some I just can't.

@ramin85 this absolutely makes a real fisheye lens. You claim to know so much abou them, yet cant see in the final shot how the field of view gets much wider? Are you kidding me

@ramin85 dude who cares man its cheap and effective i would rather pay 20 dollars for something that works just as good than pay 300 dollars for the same result seriously if it works well the might as well save money
