RageCams Modified 5.4mm Flat Lens

Much as I wanted to do it, I ended up deciding that the price is unfair and to pay it would be basically telling them that it's a fair price. So I put up with the crappy stock camera, fixing stills in Photoshop, but I don't have a way to fix the video. If they cut their price in half and we have a couple of favorable reviews, I might reconsider.

+1. For half their price I would buy. Their current price is a joke.

“RageCams and I have reached a mutual agreement. I am happy, they are happy. End of story. I did get the 2nd Camera modification to work and I will post pictures next week.”

Dennis, the owner or Ragecams or Quality Video installed a lens on my vision over a month ago. It didn't work. I sent it back and he said he would fix. Now, he is send it back because he lost his tech and couldn't fix. I am out $500 for a new camera.
I will not do business with that company again. They do not stand behind their work.

Sounds like you have a small claims case. File it and force him to settle or put a lien on some of his property if he doesn't pay. You shouldn't be out anything if they broke your camera, shipping included.

"You may ask, 'Why not just use the GoPro de-fish software instead of changing the lens?'
--The correction tools in GoPro Studio 2.0, removing the fisheye will twist the edge of the video & make it even worse. Every time you yaw your helicopter, it will make a very hard & narrow point of movement making the edge strange. That is the reason most customers replace the original with the 5.4 mm flat lens from RageCams."
 
Wow.
 
"Wow" is an understatement...

So glad I fixed my out of focus lens myself instead of sending my camera to this "business".
 
Ya know, maybe the fact that I'm not a photographer is really a blessing here, but I'm totally happy with the pics and vids that my FC200 provides (other than the need for a real gimbal). Or, perhaps I'm just one of the apparent minority that got a decent camera. I dunno.

But, if you're a professional I can certainly understand why you'd be wanting perfection - afterall, it's your livelihood we're talking about.

I'm sorry that a lot of you are having issues with your cameras.

I hope you guys get it all figured out soon.

Geez. This is better than the Rotorpixel drama. I don't know what to believe here.

LOL!! Maybe we can get this thread up to 180+ pages, too!!

I wonder if they charge VAT if you import something from New Jersey?? I lived there. It really is different there. :- p
 
Yeah its tough to say who is lying here but given Ragecam good history I'm going to have to side with them. Allen I really hope you didn't pull this Douche Bag move.

Don't you think what Ragecsms charges for this is a douchebag move ?
But as they say there's a sucker born every minute.
 
It's tough to say because they are the only ones doing it so they can set their own price point.

Wow. What a change in attitude.

All posts deleted/modified. Hopefully the guy got his money back. But still, what a hassle. Amazing that some businesses still don't understand how to do business...
