I don't see why someone would want a smaller field of view...

A very wide angle lens makes things look further away and will inevitably suffer more fish-eye distortion.
Ideally you'd be able to select the most appropriate for the scene.

Are you familiar with the basics of photography?

So you don't have to be as close to your subject.
Right now the most expensive production DSLR lens is $26,000 USD and has an extremely narrow FOV.

The way i see it...wider view captures more...if you then wish you can alter the settings or edit it in a video editor. The v+ cannot be set as wide as the normal vision thus making it a worse camera...?

The cameras are the exact same in terms of specs. I can't recall where I saw it, but someone posted a specs comparison and the cameras were the exact same.

I saw that as well. The only real difference is the form factor, and probably the weight as well...

I went out today with my Plus

I dont care what anyone says ... my PV2 took clearer and better overall video MINUS the shake

I dont have the PV2 anymore so I cannot test them next to each other. but here are the differences i see

>> objects seems to have a crosshaired almost - objects just are not clear
>> jumpy - seems to jump or hesitate in presenting the frames - not when moving slowly
>> colors - not as bright in the main middle and to bright near the fish eyes edges

I would love to see someone test this :

PV2+ vs. PV2 with Rotorpixel gimbal
Same video shot at same time! then we would see

Maybe you need a better video player? If its jumping around many programs can not handle 1080/60.. Down load VLC.com

I received my new dampeners today - 3 packs of four - white gray black... i was told to try the gray ones to eliminate jello effect...

any tutorial on changing these out on a PV2+?
