Don’t Make This Mistake! Avoid this Knockoff GoPro Lens Mod

[@RydenDirty]

I bought one of those. And I was so stoked to get one for cheaper. Can’t remember the one I got but it was awesome. Got it on Amazon. I broke two of my GoPro lens mods

[@JaredHoff]

Sucks breaking a $100 lens. But I was NOT happy with the warped edge drum vision look of the cheap models lol

[@Ponkotsu67]

I've watch some other reviews of the Telesin Max lens mod but they didn't mention the warping nor could I see any issues in their sample video. I'm wondering whether it's a quality control issue with these 3rd party max lenses. Either way, I'm going with the official GoPro one to be safe.

[@JaredHoff]

Definitely go with the official one, but nice to know others didn’t have the issue I had.

[@JohnRocker340]

No HDR with the mod lens

[@JaredHoff]

👍

[@AmenCornerRider]

I’ve been using the max lens with a media mod for motorcycle vids. I can’t get rid of the fisheye tunnel view. I reset my camera to factory and it still does it. Any suggestions? I am in linear view, still no go 😢

[@JaredHoff]

Swiped down on the back screen of the GoPro. Then there should be a Max Lens icon on the bottom right corners to turn on and off

[@AmenCornerRider]

@@JaredHoff Thank you, I found the icon and it says, "Selecting Max Lens mode will disable Maximum video performance mode. I pressed "continue". Now my screen says Max Video. Will this cure the fish eye tunnel effect? Appreciate your help.

[@suriplanta]

I bought one of those. Same results. It was practically unusable. A complete waste of money. Besides the warped edges, I was also getting a "brownish" image.

[@JaredHoff]

I emailed the company and they said, it’s totally normal… nothing wrong 😑 I was kind of hoping it was a one time issue. Always looking to save money, but some you get what you pay for 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Shannon.Lawler]

This is a great vid. And I love that you made sure to go to the extent of asking the supplier about this being an individual issue. This is also my first time stumbling across your work. I am struck by the quality of the sound in your video. What components do you use for this?

[@JaredHoff]

Rode Wireless GO II mic, which requires a GoPro Media Mod on my GoPro Hero 9 Black. I put Amazon links below: Rode Wireless GO II amzn.to/3PlYFjK GoPro Media Mod amzn.to/3JX0en0

[@Beauty.and.FashionPhotographer]

Hero 11 and max lens mod was not shown anywhere yet ...

[@JaredHoff]

I’m wondering if you’ll even want a Max Lens Mod for the hero 11 because it has that super wide angle capability. But I honestly haven’t looked much into the Hero 11.

[@salazar2460able]

Front screen protector??? How did you do that?

[@JaredHoff]

HSU makes them and I was really surprised with how much damage they can take… BUT to be honest with you, I don’t use them. Even when mountain biking, I’ve rarely had the need to protect that front screen.

[@megahikari379]

Can you take pictures with the official max lens mod! How is it for picture selfie etc

[@JaredHoff]

I don’t use the GoPro for pictures. Honestly, my iPhone does a better job at that.

[@maclaneseno656]

can a nd filter fit on a go pro with max lens mod?

[@JaredHoff]

No. I’ve actually stopped using any extra lenses. Too much hassle, and the standard GoPro lens seems to do just fine for the mountain biking I film.

[@ohshoot444]

Thanks for the video man. Saved me $30.

[@JaredHoff]

Glad to have helped

[@Martin1519]

You should compare the max lens mod to the new Hero 11’s Hyperview

[@JaredHoff]

I wish I had a hero 11 to test. Maybe one day I will

[@Wild117_MTB]

Спасибо, чел. Как раз думал стоит ли telesin max lens брать или лучше оригу всё-таки.

[@JaredHoff]

So sorry. I only speak English and it won’t let me copy and paste to translate.

[@Alejandro89kg]

I think he said “Thanks, man. I was just wondering whether it’s worth taking the telesin max lens or whether it’s better to use the original one”

[@Glenrsi]

Agree 100%. Why bother buying a GoPro, then buying a cheap knockoff max lens to save a few dollars. To be honest if this knockoff lens was free, i would not want it. Keep it real is my theory and thank you for showing the comparison.

[@JaredHoff]

@@Glenrsi for sure 👍

[@Blacksheepbenny]

Thanks.

[@JaredHoff]

You’re welcome 👍🏻

[@Samoyloff24]

А где сравнение то? Ты показал только подделку.

[@AgroPreneurBusinessPodcast]

Great PSA 👍🏾

[@JaredHoff]

Thank you! We all spend a lot on this stuff. Got to let each other know when something isn’t up to par.

[@AgroPreneurBusinessPodcast]

@@JaredHoff Agreed, and yeah I didn’t even realize there were fakes out there! Had to double check my shopping cart to make sure I had the right brand hahaha

[@leonwangls]

Buy Cheap buy twice. Never fail.

[@JaredHoff]

👍

[@mr.gewehr9862]

Very helpful

[@JaredHoff]

Thank you! Glad to have helped 👍🏻

[@MTBActionCam1]

The knock-off lens made me nauseous.

[@JaredHoff]

For sure. I don’t get how the company told me nothing was wrong 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@codyfournellcsrf5164]

I cant tell but im blind lol

[@JaredHoff]

It’s really distorted looking. Almost makes it hard to watch for me.

[@danielillo673]

I thought i was the only one blind 😂
