Action Camera Macro Lens Replacement

Показать описание
I bought an EKEN H9 Sport Action Camera and it arrived in undamaged packaging but the lens was cracked. I decided to change the lens out with a manual zoom lens so that I can do macro time lapse videos. The reason I did not replace with the same lens was that the fixed lens was too wide (170 degrees) and did not focus close enough to get a good up close shot. I thought that the IR correction meant that it had an IR-cut filter installed, but that was not true. So I ended up pulling the old IR filter from the original lens to correct for that issue. That solved the purple almost pink hue that was in the image after replacing the lens.
I paid about $14.00 for the new lens. This is the lens that I bought:

5MP M12 Mount HD 1/2.5" IR F2.2 CCTV Camera Lens
Specification :
Focal length: 6-22mm
Aperture: F2.2
Mount: M12
Field angel(D*H*V°): Short focus: 58*46.4*34.8; Long focus: 20.4*16.3*12.2
Optical distortion: -0.61 to 15.6%
M.O.D.: 0.3m
Dimension: Φ28x45.3mm
Flange BFL: 13.5mm
BFL: 6.4mm
MBF: 6.2mm
IR correction: Yes
Operation
Iris: Fixed
Focus: Manual
Zoom: Manual

Sorry about the hum in the audio, I am not sure where that came from in this video. Also I got a few close ups of my hand and missed the subject with the camera. I also thought I would try a full length video since all of my latest videos have been very short. There are plenty of parts where you have to bear with me since this is the first time I have taken this camera apart and had to figure it out as I went.

Thanks for this. I've wondered if you can do this as well. Well done! You even answered my question about the lens mount. I have M12 fittings here so now I know it'll work perfectly. Thanks again.

Great Video ..it was exciting to watch you changing the lense and when you touched the ir filter with glue it was breath taking thinking that you might drop some on the Filter itself , but it all ok now:) cheers from Cloudy & Rainy Melbourne :)

That is a nice hack for the camera, good job. It looks a lot like those GoPro, either way you are brave for opening it and modify it. Take care big like on this video #17
