GoPro Hacks: $10 macro lense for any action camera!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Hello and welcome everybody! In this video, I'm going to show you how to unlock the full potential of your GoPro, or any action camera - by using cheap, but powerful lenses that can help you shoot incredible macros and start building your own, custom optics. If you've ever tried to take a close-up shot with your GoPro and couldn't make it focus, this video is for you. By using old lenses that you can find for next to nothing, you can take your footage to the next level and unlock limitless creativity.
In this video, I'll demonstrate how you can use a 52mm macro lens on your GoPro and show you how to mount it using a simple adapter. But this is just one example - there are many other filters and special lenses of various sizes and purposes that you can use to build your custom, creative lens.
By using these lenses, you can get really close to your subject and reveal all the details that your action camera couldn't focus on before. You can also get a strong background separation effect and correct overexposed shots in full sunlight by simply adding this one macro lense.
And the best part? All of this can be done with cheap, readily available lenses that are often unused or discarded. By giving them a second life with your GoPro, you're not only unlocking your own creativity, but also contributing to a more sustainable future.
Check those links to some of the cheap lenses and adapters similar to those I used in this video, so you can get started right away:

A really very creative idea 💡 the pictures look like in a dream 👌 I think I need to expand my equipment 😊🙋♂
I truly appreciate your attention to my work mate, this is so far the most lifechanging hack since I had my GoPro. There is so many different lenses to play with, you can put several of them together for combined effects or filters, and I'm truly amazed with how the GoPro algorythm and optics is handling the macro lense I'm using with it. Try yourself and you will see it truly does wonders for those closeups. You will make some absolute bombs with it, I know that already.
13 - 👍The flowers are beautiful. Spectacular video.
Thank you kindly for your visit and your warm and friendly feedback, I very much appreciate you checking my work.
Beautiful flower video 👍🏿 friend
I'm going to try to capture things under artificial lights too. So far I was able to test this only outside.
gorgeous views👍11
I appreciate your visit and feedback. Thank you,my dear friend.
Nice video, great work 👌👍🎥
Thank you 🙌
I have been using a cabachon over the lens of my Dji Osmo Action 4 (because it does not have a mocro lens to purchase), and it has been good enough but my fingers get in the way. This sounds much better. Thank you.
Last couple of months I'm using an adapter to mount the lenses on my GoPro. Much more secure and flexible. It looks like I should make an update.
I have just purchased a Nissi closeup lens filter that I will be able to hold without getting my fingers in the way. I might even be able to attach it to a handle.
Wow. Very interesting and informative video. Thank you 👍💯💥
Glad you enjoyed it, my new friend!
Great video . Thanks for sharing.❤❤
Thank you, my new friend!
I love your videos, because of your videos, I also considering buying GoPro camera and filters.
After I learn from you more, I definitely want those.❤
Your visit is always a joyful occasion, thank you kindly for the friendly feedback. I'm certain you are going to have lots of fun with any action camera. GoPro is the most popular for sure and version 11 does have truly unique capabilities, but even much cheaper devices still can get you very nice results. Make sure to try out the device and check the resulting footage on a larger screen before any purchase. Lately I was pleasantly surprised with the brand Niceboy and their line of devices. Good luck choosing your new creative tool. Have a great day, my dear friend.
@@sim2g thank you so much for your advice, I will definitely take considerate your advice. Have a great day

I'm playing wit a stronger magniffications now! Will post the results soon. Thank you for your comment, my dear friend.
Wonderful Video. Thanks For Sharing. have a nice day!🧡👍
Thank you! You too!
*Good idea for old lenses 👍*
Thank you, I already have another lense to combine with this one. They are very affordable.
Great simple tip for improving content! Well done 🙂🙂
There are simply more options with the action camera using this approach. Thank you for your support!
Thank you my friend, your video is very useful for me :)
Greetings from Croatia!
Glad to hear that!
Very interesting. I think I will see if I can adapt this adaptation to my 360 one rs.
Did it work?
@@sim2g No, unfortunately the camera body is too odd of a shape to maintain the position of the extra lens.
@@flightographist That is a bummer. Maybe they are going to make some kind of an adaptor.
@@sim2g At this point I can't even get an nd filter to work with it,
@@flightographist They did not expect someone ever try something like that I quess.
Show excelente vídeo, parabéns amigo sucesso sempre 🤝
🙋🏻♂️🙏🏻😉 thank you
OOOHHH Great data and useful tips and techniques💥, thanks very much SIMPLY2Graphic
Thank you for checking out my video! I'm glad if you are finding it ok.
Thank you very much, very useful video !
Glad to hear that you are fiding it useful. My last upload is completelly captured with that macro lense installed on my GoPro. You can check the performance much better, since there is no camera movement at all. It opens whole new creative field to anyone with an action camera.
great video, i subscrive
What a great comment! Thank you very much, my dear new friend!🙋🏻♂️🥇😉
The misuc is too loud. I am really interested in what you have to say but found it hard to hear you. I had to use the caption button to read what you saying.
You are correct. Good thing I was so diligent with those subtitles and manually corrected them to perfection.
Yes I am pleased as well as what you said was VERY interesting.
Que diferença com a lente! A GoPro já é ótima. Fica melhor ainda!. Obrigado por nos mostrar!
Muito obrigado pelas suas palavras gentis! Eu realmente aprecio o seu apoio, visualizações e curtidas. Significa muito para mim. Fico feliz que tenha gostado do conteúdo e da melhoria nas imagens com a nova lente. Seu incentivo me motiva a continuar compartilhando e aprimorando. Mais uma vez, obrigado!
Thank you very much for subbing and thank you even more for this ❤😊. Let's share the beauty ❤
I appreciate your visit and approval of my work. 🤗 Totally agree on sharing and staying connected! Happy creating keen observer 😉.
Nice up lord．👍
I'm very happy you finding this interesting and it is an honor to have you! Thank you.
Color grading is awesome! What was your camera setting in this video? And color grading tips?
Hi and thank you for stopping by. I'm allways using vivid colors and lowest sharpenning level when shooting. Mostly doing 5.3k in 60fps for some versatility in afterproduction. Most of the footage in this video was not colograded at all. When you shoot in vivid color mode with good light, GoPro produce this footage directly from the camera.
Hi, Which size of zip tie did you use? I tried the thin one and it didn't have any latch whatsoever
I had to go through some tesing to get the thing to fit and it was very helpful when I shaved the poits to thin plates. It was a try and fail process. :) Thank you for your visit.
Your video was "eye-opening" content for me!
It's a joke, but I used my iPhone camera to look through the lens of my SLR film camera.
There was a time when I used to attach a close-up lens to this analog camera and shoot.😅😺
You have to be as enthusiastic about photography, as I'm. We are sharing the interest and that is truly great, my dear friend. I just adapted another of my old lenses to a GoPro. Going to test it today. Have a nice day and thank you for your visit.
@@sim2g Yes, when I was in high school, I belonged to a photography circle and learned how to develop and print. Around this time, I was printing in my room.
Of course, the camera is an analog single-lens reflex camera of the time.😁📷😸
I had one of those, it is a Czech camera: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexaret
On the other note - can I ask you to avaluate the japanese subtitles and description? Is it correct?Thank you kindly in advance, my dear friend.
@@sim2g I saw the Wikipedia of the link you introduced! It's a Czech twin-lens reflex camera! A twin-lens reflex is a camera that every photographer wants! My father doesn't know who the manufacturer is, but he seems to have had one when I was a child! After that, my father bought an Asahi Pentax with three months' salary. He also bought an 8mm projector at the same time. It was, of course, a luxury in those days.😁
@@iketachuu Those Flexareta cameras were manufactured 30km away from my house. I had an early model and I remember films were quite expensive these days in a communistic country. Are the japanese subtitles and description on this video ok, my dear friend?
So is for closeups?
Correct. Action camera macro mode for $10.00 🙂💐🙏🏻
Se ve bueno. Like 33 para ti hno! Un saludo
Thank you very much, my dear friend.
