Apparently This is possible. I had not considered the possibility of installing the wrong lens on the mobius cmos sensor. Is this worth trying or are there some problems you will encounter if you do try this?
The following paragraph is from the video description.
Even after refocusing quality isn't great, so i was looking for alternatives. Narrow (lens A) is out of scope, too narrow. I used several lens in total:
- gopro1 (~8$) - cheap and still very good quality, glass optics
- "original" lens B - probably impossible to get good focus in image - corners will be blurry anyway. Everything else is not bad
- "fake lens b" from aliexpress. IMO much much better than stock "B" lens. Too bad, cost (~15$) and availability (only on aliexpress with insane shipping speeds) makes this poor choice
- gopro3 lens (now widely available, ~15$ shipped, look for 150 degree gopro lens ) - all glass, light, plastic protector. IMO best choice today
Several videos showing different lenses are below.
