Getting a different camera or lens?

[casdcoke5]

I've spent an hour trying to find a solution, so I think I know the answer is no. I am a novice to the Phantom drones, so perhaps I missed something, or looked in the wrong place.

A friend has a Phantom 3 Pro. I want to do some video with a much wider angle lens. At least 150 Deg horizontal field of view. Is there any way to change out the lens or camera to one with a wider angle, and still be able to control the gimble?

You were right, there's nothing made that will do that for you.
You can't get that kind of viewing angle for even expensive SLR camera without going to a fisheye.

Just measured my P3A and the camera face is about 20º behind the front legs so unless you can get the replacement lens further forward you'll see the front legs in the frame.
If you do that you will be putting extra strain on the gimbal and that's not the strongest thing

Thanks for the replies. This morning I did find alternative lenses. Most were telephoto. They did have one that was wider.

This is a fisheye 2.90mm f/2.0 123d HFOV 8MP lens. When you change the lens on the GoPro® HERO® cameras we recommend having us remove the stock lens profile software so the colors are natural (and not tinted pink around the edges). All example media shown has this lens profile removed from the...

They say it is a 19.98 35mm equivalent. So around 89 deg horizontal field of vision... not really a difference, buy they tout less distortion.

Though, the legs restricting the field of view is a major limit. So it looks like I am restricted to using a camera on a stick for now.
