PC330 Wide Angle Lens

[ber 0]

I've bought a PC330, its in my opinion the best vertical camera on a market. I use it for regular outside movies but now i wanna put in air. I found one little problem, the WideAngle Lens sony provide for it are damm big, its something like 10cm diametre. I think its really big for putting on a side mount helmet. Without i think it have no enought angle for filming on a regular freefly jump, maybe enought for filming 4ways.
I like to know your opinion about this, anyone jumping with it? whats the efect? do you use the 10cm wideAngle lens? on top or side?

Thanks a lot everybody

Could do a search, but as I am feeling help ful....

http://www.waycool.com.au/

They do different thread sizes, wide angles etc... They do 37mm lenses to fit the PC 330 I believe.

Oh, and most people think they are fine for quality, no Vignette ('black corners'). Just search the forum if you need more info.

Lew... do you use that for skydive ?!?!?!? isn't that bigger than an helmet? ;)

I think the solution is in www.waycool.com.au given by skyjuggler. Only 7,5mm long and 43mm diametre, a lot diferent from sony ones.

I really have no info about lens like this, i will contact them to be sure about pc330 and i will bought one for sure.

Thanks a lot.

I have both the l5 and the .3 from Royal.

The .3 is very wide. Like you can touch them wide. You can zoom it about halfway to about a .6 before it goes fuzzy.

The multi element lenses are better if you want to use your zoom.
