Don't pay ridiculous prices for GoPro lenses

I just want to take this opportunity to notify everybody here that is looking for a GoPro lens solution that you don't have to pay $400+ to get a good quality lens.  I've found a supplier (with whom I have no relations) that provides similar lenses to RageCams but at a fraction of the price.  I just got a lens in from Sunex (DSL355A-650-F2.8) that seems to work great with my camera and it was only $49+$25 for two-day shipping.  Just had to unscrew the old lens and screw in the new one.  Note that this only seems to be the case for the Hero 3+ line.  I will post some full-resolution shots when I get the chance to fly (bad weather at the moment).

I hope this helps someone who, like me, is trying to do aerial video on a budget.  I couldn't be happier with my purchase and the fact that I saved a few hundred bucks.  Again, I have no relation to Sunex, just a satisfied customer.

  • Indeed, Sunex is on old supplier for lens. I did buy one for my Hero2 to remove the eye fish effect.

    Lens as good, but not made in pure glass as original, but plastic (similar), at least what I did buy.  But looks good quality.
