Wde angle lens for Mavic 4 Pro

[alfo2010]

Does anyone have a recommendation for a wide angle for the Mavic 4 Pro. Thus far I think that the wide-angle lens made by STARTRT sold on Amazon may be the best although it appears from photos that the bottom two gimbal lenses are fully exposed to the elements. Jack Sloan on his YouTube channel has a review of one early release of a wide-angle lens for the M4P but it looks big and clunky, and it appears that the bottom two lenses are exposed as well. I usually buy Freewell filters, but they have no wide-angle lenses for the M4P.

I am looking for the same and I also saw Jake's video so I decided to wait for the OEM because I doubt any of the aftermarket versions won't be cut rate like the one reviewed by Jake. I won't need it until next year so I can wait but it should be shortly when all the aftermarket versions start to appear so I guess ymmv.

I would rather just take a pano shot and merge the photographs in LR in post. More convenient and flexible, available at any time (don’t have to land the drone to fit the lens) and still have the high resolution basic wide lens when you need it. Saves bucks too.

the bottom two gimbal lenses are fully exposed

Would that not be part of the design to lessen the added weight of the product?
How much added weight will the gimbal handle before the system fails?

Pano stitching is the way to go. And you end up with a larger file size.

A pano stitch also eliminates the wide angle edge distortion, especially present in the corners, while covering the same field of view.

Pano stiching is fine, unless your subject moves. You also cannot stitch a video. I did have good luck with Freewell on the M3 Cine. It produced infinitesimally more pleasing images than the DJI offering. The Wide on the Mavic 3 Pro Cine makes the gimbal bobble, frequently getting a warning about exceeding the gimbal range. I like wides, but it is my style, not necessarily others. Kind of sitting on my hands on the M4P Creator due to this issue.
