Anybody ordered RageCams lens 5.4 mm to PV ? They Have it lens for US$489,00, you need to send to mail your camera, Whit this lens you can avoid the fisheye efect for aerial photography, interesting...
Jdacal said:I got one last week. It will probably be another week before I can test it since my Phantom 2 system hasn't shipped yet.
Pictures look pretty good at ground level. Definitely no fisheye. I'll try to take a few pictures tomorrow with it and post them. Also there are videos on you tube using that lens.

- These shots were taken using a GoPro3 Black with standard lens and a RageCam with the modified lens.
- Cameras were on a tripod and shot was triggered via the GoPro app.
- The day was overcast
- The shots were taken about 2:45 PM EST facing towards the East
- I focused the RageCam on the number "11" shown in this picture at a distance of 180 feet viewing it on a 55" Sony HD TV. Distance was measured with a Bosh GLR825 laser. The RageCam site suggests about 150 feet. I found that at the focus setting I received it from RageCam the "11" was blurry, so I refocused.
This picture lets you see were the "11" is located in the images to use for reference as you view the pictures:
These two pictures were taken with a GoPro 3 Black and RageCam set to "12MP WIDE".
I can only add 3 attachments so you can download the full resolution shots using this DropBox link, also the ones posted on the forum are only 1024 x 768 so very poor resolution:

You'll also find another set of shots taken at "7MP MED" setting there.
I haven't taken any aerial shots yet as I am still wating for my Phantom 2 to ship.
Jdacal said:Expensive? You can say that again!
I ended up buying it with the camera, almost $1000. But I wanted to be able to switch cameras quickly, without having to do a lens change in the field.

68gtconv said:Understand that when you use the dji app to correct fisheye effect that you crop the image and reduce the resolution. The vision camera in its present form is marginal at best and compromising the image further is not as desirable and getting a better lens that has been focused and aligned critically. I am hoping that when the camera is capable of shooting raw that we see a substantial improvement in image quality.
