NEEWER 170° Ultra Wide Angle Lens Compatible with GoPro Hero 12 Hero 11 Hero 10 Hero 9 Black Action Camera Lens Accessories, Anti Reflective Multi Coated HD Optical Glass, Aluminum Frame, LS-37

The media could not be loaded. I was worried about buying the cheapest "max lens mod" lens I could find, and was not sure if buying the one that was almost 50% of the next cheapest one was an advisable choice. However, I could not be happier with my decision. As soon as I popped it on to my GoPro, all I had to do was go into my Hero 9's settings and enable the "max lens mod" toggle. I will say that without enabling that mode, there was quite a big fisheye effect and you could see the "box" around the lens of the cameras because the POV was so deep. But once the camera is in the correct mode, and set back from the widest settings and correctly paired with the 170 degree lens, it works quite well. I wish I was able to apply a neutral density filter, but that is my only complaint. For the money, you will not find a better "Max lens mod" for your GoPro camera.

This is the lens you are looking for. If you film skateboarding or any other action sport that requires close up shots. The lens was recognized by my hero 12 and the max lens mod was activated automatically. Lens switches on and off with ease. Neewer has been awesome with lots of their optics and this lens is no exception. Got the price and the quality

The media could not be loaded. It's been less than a month. After only a few uses, this no longer fits snug and wobbles when mounted. I noted that the mounting contacts wore down quite a bit just from sliding the lens on and off a few times, to the point that I think this is what caused the lens to no longer sit tightly. I own a lot of Neewer products that have served me well, but this was a disappointment.

I think the 170 degrees advertised is corner to corner, not horizontal. I swapped between this and the Max Lens Mod (without the special mode, so the lens projects onto a visible circular image on the sensor) and it seemed to produce the same image between the two lenses.Perfect condition used Max Lens Mods can be found for the same price as this new, so I'd only get this if it's cheaper. Otherwise would get the GoPro brand lens.

A quick note that this lens works quite well with the hero10 in max lens mode. Capturing anything while whitewater rafting is tricky. I dislike putting up a mast -- it's a hassle, conspicuous, and the footage looks like a bad video game -- so I go with a kind of chest mount on my life jacket. It gives a first person view and captures the experience, although not all the footage is usable if you're paddling. I got far better footage with this lens than with the stock lens. I recommend it.

Works awesome on my Hero 10!

Very easy to install (found directions on YouTube) feels very solid and performs perfectly.

Only utilizes about half of the GoPro Image sensor -ANY of the wide angle lenses by GoPro are a much better alternative, even at a higher price.I returned this and bought both the 155 degree and 177 degree wide angle lenses from GoPro.Much better resolution.
