My thoughts on the 5.4mm GoPro lens and using it for aerial filming from your DJI Phantom. I got this lens from Peau Productions and had it installed by them, you can also just buy the lens and install it yourself in your GoPro. You can also get a 5.4mm lens from Ragecam and links to both are below.

Thanks for the info and view of the 5.4 from Peau Productions. I’ve been using the RageCams 5.4 on my Phantom 2 – much of the same findings, good and bad. Also found that the image was a little softer than I expected after focusing – even compared to the stock lens on my 3+ Black.
Now, I’m considering the 4.2mm from RageCams – a little wider might reduce some of the associated issues. Not sure if I want to put this on my new Hero 4 yet.
Appreciate the info! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you too. I also like the idea of the 4.2mm lens and also think it may be a more useful focal length. I may be wrong but I still think I can see some purple fringing in the test videos so far which is a little disappointing. I would love to get my hands on one to test before committing to such a lens now.
