Lens Features for Different Shooting Situations
The UCL-G165II SD provides a wide angle of view and a deep depth of field suitable for macro photography capturing the surrounding environment with a subject. The UCL-G100 is an easy-to-use, all-purpose close-up lens with a significantly shorter minimum focus distance while maintaining an underwater angle of view similar to that of the GoPro® alone and a deeper depth of field than other lenses in its class. The UCL-G55 enables ultra-high magnification close-up photography unprecedented with GoPro® and is specially designed for photographing small critters such as nudibranchs.
Changing Field of View Setting of GoPro for Further Magnification
The distance between two sticks represents a shooting range when GoPro® is set to "WIDE". GoPro® has several field of view settings, and with "Linear" or other narrower angle of view, it is possible to shoot at an even higher magnification. Shooting at a high resolution such as 4K with "1.4x" zoom can enlarge the subject even more with relatively less image quality degradation.
*The UCL-G55 SD provides ultra-high magnification, so using a tripod is recommended for handshake-free video.

Blur-free Focus Aid Feature (PAT.P)
Visually indicates the distance to focus, and can easily fold not to limit camera placement.
The Focus Stick width covers the field of view when the camera is set to WIDE. With the UCL-G100 SD, the tip of the Focus Stick indicates the minimum focusing distance, and the depth of field is 8.2 cm/3.2 inch from the tip. With the UCL-G55 SD, two protrusions on each stick indicate depth of field to locate a subject between the two protrusions for in focus filming. It is easy to take sharp and crispy high magnification close-up video by referring to the Focus Stick and checking the composition on the rear monitor. The Focus Stick rotates 360° and has clicks every 90°, so it can be instantly flipped up when not in use. Vertical installation is also possible. The Focus Stick body is attached to the lens with retaining screw ring and can be separated from the lens when not in use.
