Modz4Dayz

So I modded my Flip Mino HD camcorder with a fisheye lens and I could not be more stoked to use it now.

heeeere fishey fishey

All it took was a 30.5 - 37mm lens adapter, a Zeikos 37mm .45x wide angle lens, some gorilla glue and a lot of courage. Glued the adapter on, took apart the lens and flipped the outer glass (creating a fisheye), screwed it on and I was good to go. Footage looks a lot better with this little guy on, definitely getting much more in the picture than I was before, so it's doing it's job. Total cost (not including the Flip cam) was under 40 bucks. Can't really go wrong with this set up for a small budget like mine.

Going up to USC tomorrow through Sunday to do some filming, hopefully hitting some trick spots and getting some footy. Can't wait!

Be well,
William
