AOI UWL-03 Wide Angle Lens for Action Cameras and Smartphones
**This lens has been replaced by the AOI UWL-03Pro Wide Angle Lens.
The AOI UWL-03 Wide Angle Lens for Action Cameras and Smartphones is a practical solution for those looking to enhance their underwater photography and videography. When used with a GoPro or a smartphone, this lens significantly reduces image distortion caused by the flat port design of most underwater housings. These distortions can result in curved or soft edges, limiting the ability to focus closely on subjects. This lens addresses those issues by allowing you to get up to 4x closer to your subject, improving the clarity and detail of your underwater shots.
The UWL-03 is specifically designed to work with action cameras like GoPro and smartphones, making it a versatile tool for anyone interested in underwater photography. By correcting the distortion caused by flat ports, the lens enables you to capture wide-angle shots with better clarity and more accurate colors, even in challenging underwater environments. With a field of view of 140° underwater and 150° on land, this lens ensures a broader perspective, allowing you to capture more of your surroundings without compromising on image quality.
With a robust build, easy-to-use QRS-02 mounting system, and lightweight design, the AOI UWL-03 is the ideal addition to your GoPro diving accessories or GoPro underwater setup. Whether you're shooting in shallow waters or deeper dives, this lens helps reduce the impact of common underwater challenges such as light loss, color diffusion, and turbulence. The lens is depth-rated to 60 meters (200 feet), making it suitable for a variety of underwater environments.
