Macro Lens for GoPro Hero 5 Black | Test Footage Included

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Here is a really nice macro lens for the GoPro Hero 5 Black.
Polar Pro Macro Lens: amzn.to/2k7zkLT
Polor Pro Hero 5 Filter Pack: amzn.to/2kLSedc
With the Polar Pro macro lens for the GoPro Hero 5 Black you can get some stunning close up shots that other wise you can not achieve with the standard GoPro lens. This macro lens changes the focal point of the Hero 5 camera and allows for nice clear close ups while slightly blurring the background to help make your subject the focus. This macro lens works great in both video and photo modes. No modifications necessary, this lens just slips over the existing GoPro Lens.
I made another video testing the Polar Pro macro lens under water. You can watch it here:

Will this lens work for my needs? I'm using a head mount because I want the camera and viewers to see what I see while I sew and detail is very important. Great video too.

    This looks useful. We're beekeepers. Yesterday I missed a chance to video one of our bees doing the Waggle Dance. I had an HD video-capable DSLR and close up filters in the house, but not with me. The Hero 5 Black was in the camera bag, too, but could have been in my jacket pocket. This may be less bother than trying to focus the DSLR for video.

    hey! love all the videos! have a question about this lens. Previously you've done a review on a aluminum casing for the Hero 5 black. Does this lens still fit with that casing on it? with that aluminum case I ended up purchasing it because of your video. Works great I also bought some macro lenses that are 52mm that fit on it. doesn't work too hot. so maybe this will do better!

    Good video! Have you ever tried a lens like the Opteka lens (that you can find on Amazon by searching "Opteka Achromatic 10x Diopter Macro Lens")? I have one and it has the same 52mm thread size as the Luxebell cage you showed in a previous video. It has a steel surround and seems more robust than this Polar Pro one (that big exposed dome looks like it could get very easily scratched). Just wondering how the 2 compare for optical quality, potential vignetting etc.. I will try it myself but I'm having trouble getting on of those cages here in Thailand at the moment.

    5 жыл бұрын

    Marcio Rocha This is a macro lens which means that close objects are in focus but a distant object like the sunset will be out of focus. Therefore great for flowers, insects, and other small things up close, in the range 6 to 14 inches away, but take it off for anything further away like landscapes, sunsets, etc.
