Thanks for the info. But I want to make videos. I want to fly the P3 from open (clean) water to the source of the pollution so the magnitude of the problem is more apparent.There is no way to replace the Phantom 3 lens. A mutli-layer composition would probably work best. See an example here.
I'm trying to get videos on my lake, tracking silt runoff. I have to get to go to 400' to see the shore line and full width of the lake. Is there a lens (add on or replacement) to get the same view at about 200'?
I guess they have services to install new lense and remove old in case someone is worried about being able to do it right. They have a facebook, instagram,and youtube channel. I don't know how smooth everything goes but here is a link to their services page for installing a new lense: Service: Install Lens With PROFESSIONAL Focusing – Peau ProductionsYep. It sounds like it. I was just wondering if you knew more -- so you could advise him on whether or not they work well. Perhaps someone else will chime in.
Thank you both. Wish there was a slip on lens but this will do it.I guess they have services to install new lense and remove old in case someone is worried about being able to do it right.

Please report back about your experience and the quality of the product and if your problem was solved. There have been a few posts here about that lense option but nobody has reported back.Thank you both. Wish there was a slip on lens but this will do it.

I guess they have a service to install it for youIve used a peau lens on my sjcam sj4000 to remove fisheye. its a high quality product, HOWEVER, it was scary as hell actually opening up the camera and changing the lens even though it was only a $50 camera.
I cant imagine doing this to a phantom. also, when i put the peau lens on the sj4000, i had to connect it to tv out and rotate the lens until it was focused. with the phantom, not sure how you would be able to get it into focus.
edit: didnt realize at the end of the video posted, they show you how to put it in focus
Yes, $40 to take out the old lens and $40 to install and focus the new one. I'm going to give it a try on my own. If I fail I will send it in to the pros at Peau.I guess they have a service to install it for you
Fish eye is not want I want. Just a lower altitude to get my shot. At 400' I can't see the quad.You have a choice by changing the lens to a lower magnification with wider angle of view and fisheye or staying at a 90° view with lower magnification and you would see more at lower altitude..

The original lens in the P3 has a focal length of 3.61mm and a diagonal angle of view of 94°Then use the 3.97mm f/2.8 82° 16mp lens which allow you to much closer then the 400 feet you're shooting from now..Keep in mind that original lens is 20mm verses 3.97mm and that makes a big difference in the altitude that you would need to shoot from..
