GoPro Max Lens Mod (HERO11 Black/HERO10 Black/HERO9 Black) - Official GoPro Accessory

PROS: - great wide view with very minimal fisheye effect - enables you to film in hypersmooth boost mode with horizon lock on (can spin camera in full 360 and always maintains flat & stable horizon - extremely stable footy in worst conditions imaginable) - still waterproof - great quality CONS: - very hard to put on/remove the first time or two - get a friend with strong hands to put it on if you struggle *DON'T USE TOOLS! - cannot film in 4K/5K - limited to 2.7K max (I get around this by shooting in 2.7K with 16:9 aspect ratio, then I upscale the footage to 4K with a 16:9 ratio - this allows you to upload to YouTube in 4K and is super easy to do with any film software - I post videos on Instagram in 16:9 as well so my videos aren't cropped) - no ND filtering capabilities - I wish they sold two versions of the same mod so that I could have one with ND filtering to provide a cinematic distortion effect to the outer portions of the road/trail when I'm riding my motorcycle/dirt bike. - expensive, but worth it for shooting in bumpy/fast conditions No regrets on the purchase. Even doubled down to get a second one for my other Hero 9 that I shoot with while riding.

I purchased a GoPro for when walking and taking transit. I've had too many close calls to not have a camera with me at all times. This lens is perfect for that task! The FOV is worth the price alone. The bonus is the extra image stabilization it provides. The lens went on as easy as my DSLR cameras. So whatever issue there was with the lens not attaching properly, it seems to have been fixed now. A glaring 'con' though is it's limited resolution, With the lens attached, you can shoot max 2.7k 60fps. Good news is that it can easily be upscaled to 4k. The image quality is what you would come to expect from GoPro.

Sweet lens ... Kinda makes everything further away but allows for fishlens views on my go pro 10 and it looks sweet on skate footage

I use these to record videos in small spaces and they work perfectly because even though there is some distortion also known as fish-eye effect, it isn't as drastic as many other cameras and lenses produce. The install is easy, it clicks into place with a firm guided move. To remove the original lens you just need to be more careful because it's installed very tight. In fact I had to use pliers and a protective rag to be able to twist the original lens out. You need to inform the firmware via a toggle option about this lens being installed. It works perfectly, giving you the chance to cover the whole area you need to capture even when in tight spaces. Approved!

Not easy to put on and off the camera, yet the lens and its features are very good. Usually, I do not review this early in ownership. Yet, this is something to mention now. For me, both the default lens cover (on my GoPro Hero 9) and this Max lens are both extremely hard to get off and on with first few usages. It was to the point I had to use a cloth (to protect the lenses) and an adjustable slip joint channel lock piers to get both lenses on and off. A tip is to use the Max lens case to hold the Max lens as much as possible when taking the Max lens on and off. After a few of uses of taking on and off, both lenses were a little bit easier to take on and off. Yet, still very hard to take both lenses off and on. Hopefully within time of taking both lenses off and on will make it easier to take on and off in the future. I believe this is due to the lens mount on the camera (GoPro Hero 9) itself and not the mount on the lenses. Which would explain why some do not have this problem, while others do have this problem. If this does not work for you in time, then the Max lens has its Lifetime warranty, and the GoPro Hero 9 has one year warranty. Also, with the yearly subscription with GoPro online services they will also give you complete replacements of your camera as well (two replacements per year I believe). I will try to work it out to loosen it a bit. To see if that works. Otherwise, the Max lens for the GoPro Hero 9 is well worth it

good fit and function for GoPro

Loved the lens

It’s like voodoo how this thing works. Super fun to use this lens on a chest strap while mountain biking. The stabilization with this lens is incredible.

een perfecte uitbreiding voor je gopro. Het beeld wordt ultra-stabiel

It's great way to have stability and get horizon lock but after installing only timewrap option is available.you cannot get timelapse after installing this lense although this works great with live videos. Superview pics are also great. Funny part is I brought this to get timelapse thinking that I will get near 360 degree view of sky but timelapse option itself is not available after installing this.

Must have if you’re a regular GoPro user. Improves both video and picture quality, and depth of field. However, video is capped at 2.7k but does have horizon lock. Picture mode will only take single pics, so no time lapse or burst. Also, you won’t be able to use the lens mod with a water housing. Definitely worth having, and the media mod and light mod is a must to compliment the video and pic mode.

Si vous êtes fan de la GoPro, le module d’objectif Max pour la HERO9 Black est un must-have ! J’ai récemment ajouté ce module à mon équipement, et je ne peux plus m’en passer. La qualité d’image est vraiment incroyable, avec un champ de vision élargi qui donne un rendu vraiment immersif à mes vidéos. L’utilisation est super intuitive. Le module se fixe facilement à la caméra, et j’adore la possibilité de passer en mode "Max HyperSmooth". Ça a complètement changé la donne pour mes vidéos d'action : plus de tremblements, tout est fluide, même quand je suis en mouvement rapide. Un autre point fort, c'est la fonction de prise de vue en mode "360 degrés". J’ai pu capturer des paysages magnifiques sans rater un seul détail. Les photos et vidéos que je partage sur mes réseaux sociaux ont eu un vrai coup de boost grâce à ça. Si vous cherchez à améliorer vos prises de vue avec votre GoPro, n’hésitez pas ! Ce module d’objectif Max est un excellent investissement pour les aventuriers et les créateurs de contenu. Je le recommande vivement !
