2X Magnification Lens 7-10cm Focal Distance, Macro Close Up Photography Accessory Compatible with GoPro Hero 13 12 11 10 9 Action Camera, Not Waterproof, LS-65

For a considerable number of years, I've yearned for the ability to capture the intricate details of the miniature world through macro photography with my GoPro camera. While the latest GoPro Hero 13 finally incorporates a dedicated macro lens, this highly desirable feature is unfortunately not backward compatible with my existing GoPro models. This Neewer macro lens offers a practical and convenient workaround, providing a simple and effective way to achieve macro capabilities with my compatible GoPro cameras. The attachment and removal process is exceptionally straightforward, requiring only a quick rotational movement to either secure or detach the lens. It's important to note that the lens doesn't employ a locking mechanism, as the official GoPro lens does. However, it's designed to fit snugly and securely onto the camera's lens housing, and I've found that it remains reliably in place, resisting unintentional rotation or dislodging once it's properly attached. Users have the flexibility to orient the lens according to their preference, either with the Neewer logo prominently displayed or with the lens model information visible. It's crucial to understand that the camera's internal software does not recognize the presence of the external macro lens. Consequently, there are no automatic adjustments or on-screen indicators related to macro mode. The lens itself exhibits a solid and well-constructed feel, suggesting a good level of durability and optical quality. The lens is thoughtfully packaged and arrives well-protected within a dedicated carrying case, ensuring its safety during storage and transport. A soft cleaning cloth is also included, a welcome addition for maintaining the lens's optical clarity. With this Neewer macro lens, I've been able to achieve impressively close focus on objects positioned as near as 3 inches from the front element of the lens. This capability is perfectly suited for my macro photography needs, allowing me to capture stunning details of subjects that would be impossible to achieve with the GoPro's native lens. However, it's essential to acknowledge the lens's inherent limitation: its fixed focus range. Once attached, the lens is optimized for close-up macro photography, and it becomes impossible to transition seamlessly from a detailed macro shot to a wider-angle perspective without first detaching the lens. The camera will simply not be able to achieve focus at wider angles while the macro lens is in place. This necessitates a deliberate decision to use the lens for macro purposes and then remove it when wider shots are required.

Works as it should ! Great product ! Sure you have to switch lenses just to shoot 2-3 shots but if you are serious about your videos its great ! I have a outdoor style youtube chanel and was struggling with having close up shots of my food and cooking segments ( all shot on gopro black 12 ) and it solved my issue 🤪🔥

Qualidade muito fraca nao faz o q promete

Okay, so I hope you're as excited for this macro lens as I am! This thing is really cool, and what I believe should be a stable to your gopro. I have a hero black 12 and by swapping to this lens, I can record come cool B-Roll (like if im in the woods, I can get a good close up of bugs or plants), and its also good for texture images as well! One thing to keep in mind if you're new and are looking to upgrade your gopro lens, this is for up close magnified shots (very close to the lens), and does not see very far. Overall I think this is absolutely one of the best lenses in my kit, along with the neewer variable ND filter lens, and my CPL lens, I think im pretty much set for anything! But I still have to say how nice it is finally getting close up shots again, but with my gopro!

I'm not sure this is technically a macro lens, it seems to be more of a close up lens. If you look at the attached photos I took, they aren't even what I'd call magnified. I was really looking for a ultra close up lens...which would be a macro lens. This is not that.
