Okay this is clearly not your average Go Pro Hero camera! This is the work of Chris and Jonathan Watts at British Technical Films. The lens is a 10mm aspherical and the GoPro has been fitted with a C mount to accommodate it. Truly wonderful, though I am yet to see some images from it. Chris tells me the plan is to fit the lcd backpack to it and to build a new mount for their Skybot system so the camera can fly. Expecting this to be a vast improvement on the GoPro lens! We will do a comparative video this week hopefully.

Hi Sam,
I didn’t in fact do the mods to this GoPro. My friend Chris has done this mod for a similar purpose (on the back of a 3D endoscope). It’s quite involving – the C mount was machined by Jonathan Watts and fitted to the GoPro, back focus was the hard part. I just put it up on the blog as it’s a radical mod to make to a tiny HD cam. Hope this helps,
Ben
