Any DJI Wide-Angle Lens Owner Opinions?

[Cosmo0g]

I'm thinking of getting one mainly for landscape photos. I can't find very many reviews on it, so I was wondering what people who actually have one think. I know it bends the horizon more, but what about the actual image quality? Is the picture as sharp as the main camera? Does it effect the color? If you lost yours, would you buy it again?

Works well for what I do. There was some discussion regarding the DJI wide lens verses an aftermarket. Cheap is cheap in my opinion.

Wide angle lens filter - very blur image

I am sorry but I have to disagree on this response. Generally you would be absolutely correct and I agree 100%. I am one that will always spend money buying quality and paying for it. But for this, I dont believe this is the case. I spent the last 3 years living in China as a expat working...

If it’s just for stills, save your money & take multiple shots in a panorama. Lightroom & other software will merge literally dozens of stills with the same eye point. I often do panoramas.

There are some folks that don’t use any post production.

I decided to get one, and I like the results. It does bend the horizon quite a bit though. And, when I straighten it in LR, I lose a lot of the view that I gained. Here's an example without the wide lens, and two with it but one is straightened. They were shot on different days hence the light and color difference. Overall, I'm happy because I only paid $100. For $180, probably not, but B&H has them for $150, so that'd be a maybe.

Not much gain really, especially after straightening the horizon. Stitching seems to me like a much better option, obviously for stills only.

The OP never said he does not do any post processing. I am sorry but as it stands you are engaging in making an unfounded assumption.

Read post number three, then read post number 4 AGAIN. I’m not the one missing the point.

Can you point me to the OP's post where he says that he does not do any post processing?

If you’re struggling with the the simplicity of the previous posts, I can’t help you.

LOL. Of course you can't help me because deep down you know that you were wrong when you replied to my post. You are just too proud to admit it. But that's ok, nobody is perfect

I’m using the wide angle lens on the Mavic 3 and as a photojournalist, creating a panoramic through stitching is not an accepted practice So the wide angle solves a problem of needing an even wider perspective at times. I have found the images created with the wider angle lens are sharp, but there is some curvature on the horizon when using the adapter. I think it was worth the $$ and is able to create publication worthy images.
