Does 58mm lens works on 1 inch mod... I can't find 49mm lens and in my country have no amazon.. Help please

[@TheLensSchwendi]

I'm a lens design engineer at Leica Geosystems (not Leica camera). I guess, my colleagues of Leica Camera would get sick about that sacrilege, you committed with their lens and the tape 😂😅. But hey, it worked pretty well, so good job 👍! We lens designers can learn sometimes from you hands-on guys. Thanks for sharing this video, I appreciate!

[@LukeEdwin]

Haha glad you thought it was cool

[@TheLensSchwendi]

@@LukeEdwin sure 😃

[@JakeRichandAnnaChah]

This is a phenomenal hack! Love the creativity Luke, thanks for sharing

[@LukeEdwin]

Thanks glad you liked it

[@KevinRMoore]

Update. After watching your video here I had an epiphany, lol. I used your electrical tape idea with a 46mm UV filter, now I can screw on magnifier lens and ND filters, all from stuff I already own for my Olympus E-M5. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@LukeEdwin]

Cool!

[@SweetHopeCookies]

This is awesome! My wife was wanting me take videos of the birds feeding in our back yard and this will work wonderfully!

[@skullier13]

This is a great idea for insta360/third party to adopt... The have the bare bone inter changeable lens modification out... But for most cases IMO they should do a screw on lens options... Either for zoom or macro... Nice job I hope insta360/third party creator sees this and make something incredible

[@LukeEdwin]

Glad you liked it. That would be cool

[@skullier13]

@@LukeEdwin I can't wait to get the bare bone 1" mod... 1 think or than the bare bone video... This is the 1st time I've seen really nice bokeh on an "action camera"...

[@michaelburdge]

Sweet trick dude. The footage looks great.

[@LukeEdwin]

Thanks

[@KevinRMoore]

Awesome thinking out of the box! There are some DIYs out there for making silicone parts out of cornstarch and chalking that may be better than down and dirty electrical tape

[@TKstorytw]

Quite a contribution! Thank you so much

What about slomo in insta360 ?

[@LukeEdwin]

Ya it has 150fps with the one inch sensor. And 200fps with the 4k mod and 100fps with the 360 mod. Also they have a really cool AI slow mo effect check this out - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX_FaXmXpd6fgsU

[@hotrip8847]

very creative 🎉 btw how to install the telephoto lens ?😅

[@digitaldarkroom07]

GREAT HACK!!!! I have the twin edition but am now seriously considering getting the 1inch on Amazon’s Black Friday deal. It’s the 49mm we need? Now I wish there was a way to attach all my filters I use on my Canon dSLR...

[@giovannigallocassarino951]

veramente geniale complimenti veramente bravo !! posso utilizzarlo anche per fare riprese sotto l 'acqua ? potrei inserire il filtro sopra il case underwater ?

[@unun1218angela]

really nice. I always wanna shot macro with the one R. thanks for this video

[@LukeEdwin]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@just_don_things]

When you're using the macro lens, does it change the focal distance to a fixed position? For example, the drone shots you're showing, is that still with the macro lens attached or off?

[@Eric-sf9rs]

Fantastic job!! I didn’t know 1 inch module can be so cinematic. Really really enjoy your vlog 😀👍🏼

[@LukeEdwin]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

[@nirmalbabu7799]

Nice idea luke... 👊👍

[@jewlicious]

The macro magnifier filter comes in +1, 2, 4 and +10 Diopters - which do you use? Great hack btw!

[@LukeEdwin]

The 2 most powerful ones like 10 and 4 or what ever the most powerful ones are

[@AmetraGhag]

congratulations on 10k subs

[@LukeEdwin]

Thanks!

[@blue_sheen]

Would love to see an updated version of this for the new Leica collab model

[@jefish]

Really cool idea. There are, though, some really strange shadow artifacts around distant objects at 2:02, 2:16, and pretty dramatic at 2:52 and 3:40. Almost like double-exposure outlines. Is this the Vivid profile? HDR? Maybe just sub-par glass? Can't quite figure out what's going on there.

[@LukeEdwin]

Ya I noticed that to. I think it's from the vivid mode but I'm not sure.

[@jefish]

Because it shows most in high-contrast transitions, I want to say it's related to HDR, but it looks more like a "Bokeh Gone Wild" VHS tape. :) Maybe double check Normal color profile and view the MP4 outside of Studio, see if it repros? Studio does do some goofy processing sometimes, even just in the viewer, that isn't there in the raw file. Not a complaint or criticism, I'm genuinely curious.

[@TimFromWales]

Great video. Great idea. Now I need to buy one of them one inch mods...

[@MarioScott]

Simple solutions yielding great results

[@ryuquiambao2950]

Sup luke, so if i have this hack. I can use this as a vlog camera which will be much closer to my face POV? hope you got what i mean. thanks

[@LukeEdwin]

No this is going to make it only focus on things 3 or 4 inches from the camera. Anything further away is going to be blurry

[@NicksStuff]

That's pretty cool. I wonder if I could 3D print an adapter to replace the electrical tape. Do you need to keep the original lens protector with the macro filter?

[@spireEngineering6523]

I’m hoping you get this but in was wondering if I were to use a 46mm lens if that would be to small and end up having lines in the shot. Or if it would’ve fine still

[@cirkuscederstrom]

insta360 should really make a lenscap for the 1-inch mod so that every 50mm lens filter in the world works with it.

[@LukeEdwin]

That would be amazing!

[@lesterg3330]

I couldn't find a 50mm mod. I did find this mod that allows for MFT and C mount lenses. www.back-bone.ca/product/bbinsta-1m/

[@samarth9341]

You can buy it eBay, a fellow KZbinr is 3d printing. I bought one works perfect with all filter system 👍😊

[@ellobo82]

I suddenly feel the need to 3D print an adapter for my camera and take some close-up shots!

[@LukeEdwin]

I would be cool!

[@sknygames]

Is there a way to fit the Hero Max protective lenses onto the One R dual lens mod? I want to get the extended battery for the One R but also want to keep the dual lenses protected

[@saraleone4196]

Do you know if there are new solutions for these macro lens for insta360 one r/rs? Maybe one that doesn't require any tape to be mounted on the camera? However that's a smart solution, thank u for showing it to us!

[@LukeEdwin]

I don’t know of any that work with R or RS sorry

Hi Luke, video was awesome. Thanks! Can you share the size filter you used? I’d love to explore this also. Thanks

[@LukeEdwin]

I left a link to it in the description. 49mm was the perfect diameter lens size.

[@michaelbosmann9646]

Luke Edwin thanks! I ordered the slider and macro filters through your links this morning! Thanks!

[@samarth9341]

Question, Tried looking at comments no one asked of it. Does adding the close filter affect the infinity focus. Is it just usefully for only macro shots? Do I have to remove filter if I have to capture wide scenes?

[@bybolbabol604]

@luke You are the best! I'm looking for something like this... I Think I can make adapter for Insta+Filter with my 3d printer. If you want I can send you file later. How do you mke so great colors/picture quality? Do you record with LOG or standard colors?

[@LukeEdwin]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying my videos. That would be cool but I don't have a 3d printer. I record in either vivid mode or regular. And then I usually do a bit of color correction in post.

[@deftdawg]

Did you end up creating a 3d printer adapter, if so can you post it somewhere?

[@mrbobo6257]

I just searched for it tomorrow and you made it😳😮😮😮 You are a distant mind reader 😁

[@aaronrobinson2689]

Hi Luke, do you have a video on the best settings for the 1 inch mod... to many of my vids on the 1inch mod either look rubbish or there is some sort of issues in the sky... I’m really disappointed with this camera to date!! It must be me and the settings I’m using.. can you help... I typically shoot in auto as this is a action cam you, quickly grab the cam when needed.. what about exporting maybe I’m using the wrong settings? And there is a better way

[@LukeEdwin]

Sorry I don't know what's going on with that. I always leave it on auto as wall. Have you updated the firmware on the camera recently?

[@bc2108]

Genius! I'll have to try this on my ONE R 1"

[@NAW32Nicoisme]

Nice shot!

[@LukeEdwin]

Thanks

[@ArtWars314]

thx for this! I wish they would make a macro that fits, since obviously the 360 1 R can work dual function when it's used with or WITHOUT the macro. They ought to make one that fits, and advertise it that way too. " A camera that action ready, also close up macro crystal clear!".Who knows when you're swimming under water, maybe you'll find pearls you need to switch to the macro on. :)

[@LukeEdwin]

Glad you liked the video! Yes that would be cool. I have actually mentioned it to insta360 before but apparently there not interested in pursuing it

[@RichardWeiSG]

would that make it possible for you to use it as a vlogging camera with a background bokeh?

[@LukeEdwin]

Maybe with a different macro lens the is less than 10X this one focuses way to close to us for vloging

[@twentyfifthjt7888]

@@LukeEdwin Hold-up. Your link goes to a set of 4 lenses. So the +1 diopter one takes you straight to 6inches focusing distance? Also, these are 49mm threads... I saw that your link for the Go Pro ones were 52mm threads.. can't the 52mm ones fit on the Leica Mod?

[@Gamer-sq8vc]

Hi. I just bought an insta360 1-inch and sadly found out about the 90 cm (35.5 in) minimum distance. All my filming will be 43-58 cm (17-23 in), well, let's say 38-64 cm (15-25 in) just to be safe. Would you still recommend the same filter in your video or a different one?

[@LukeEdwin]

O no bummer. I actually mentioned that minimum focus distance in one of my reviews of this camera. No I wouldn't recommend this filter. This filter makes it so it will only focus 4 inches away and no further.

[@phantom18x]

Which zoom lens did you use (2x, 4x, 10x) while recording?

[@LukeEdwin]

10

@@LukeEdwin great thanks!

[@PerfDayToday]

Wild hack. Did you mention filter size? Curious, do you edit 1” video using an iPhone? I use an 8 plus, and although insta360’s site says my phone is compatible, the truth is, it isn’t, even their tech support has said such to me. Videos buffer, start and stop every 1 second or so. Once exported out of 360 app, either to iPhone camera roll or iMac desktop, jerkiness goes away. Subbed!

[@LukeEdwin]

I left a link to it in the description but it was 49mm. I usually edit on pc but I have used my Android (galaxy S10) and it worked perfectly, no pausing or anything, it was really smooth. Have u updated the app and also your phone recently?

[@PerfDayToday]

Luke Edwin yes, thxs, issue remains. But at least I know it’s not a faulty 1” mod. If you go down to 1080 recording, no issues there. Cheers.
