Quick Lens Replacement with SD Mount
Equipped with INON "SD Mount" bayonet system with additional locking feature to support easy and speedy lens exchange as well as reliable installation of INON "UFL-G140 SD underwater semi-fisheye conversion lens" or "UCL-G165 SD underwater wide close-up lens" designed exclusively for an action camera like GoPro®. Of course the SD Front Mask for HERO8 is usable without any attachment lens.
Optional Accessories for Selfie, Follow Camera
Using an optional “Ball Adapter for GoPro” attached on the “Carbon Telescopic Arm” to combine with your GoPro camera, is an ideal selfie system to record while swimming around. INON's original fixing screw can securely hold the camera in place, enabling stable video recording underwater without worrying about unexpected camera displacement due to current. All components are designed for underwater use offering superior durability and corrosion resistant characteristic. Attaching a conversion lens on an action camera gets heavy especially when using a “Carbon Telescopic Arm”. Optional “Mega Float Tube” attached on top end of the arm supports comfortable handing underwater without having heavy load on hand grip.
