Test of Red Eye FX 0.5x Wide Angle Adaptor
11 months ago
This is a test of the Red Eye FX 0.5x wide angle adaptor. It screws on like a filter, and gives you a 50% wider field of view.
The Samsung HMX20C has its strong and weak points, but one thing that bothered me in particular was that it couldn't go very wide, so I purchased this adaptor.
I thought I'd demonstrate it so other people can get an idea of how useful it might be to them. You might need to download the full HD version to check for sharpness, chromatic aberration, and barrel distortion.

Listen - I've bought an Samsung VP-HMX20C, i've watched a few of youre videos, liked the ones that are with the fisheye lense atached to the Samsung... so , can you please send me the full specs of the fisheye lense you are using or give me an advice for one... Cause here in Moldova , there are no such products so i am ordering one from Chicago where my friend lives so he can bring one to me .. but i just can't be sure of witch fisheye lense i should order and wich adapter ring i should command with it, knowing that the Samsung is 49 mm .. can you please help me ? thank you !
As for the step-up ring, again, can't think what to say that isn't in the video. There's really only two numbers you need- camera-side diameter and filter-side diameter. Samsung is 49mm, and this particular model of wide angle adaptor is 72mm. Some step-up rings are thicker than others, when using a wide-angle adaptor, you generally want as thin as you can get, and this one is great in that respect, as it does the conversion in one step. If you can't find a single ring to do it like I did, you might have to use two, which increases your chance of vignetting.
