Two Mounts
ZD Mount (UCL-G165II ZD)
TheUCL-G165II ZD lens features a bayonet-style mount compatible with the INON ZD system, allowing for quick and easy lens swaps underwater. It is also compatible with the AD Lens Holder, which securely holds the lens when not in use.
Get Closer: Minimum Focus Distance
Action cameras like the GoPro are designed with deep focus, meaning they don't require manual focusing but struggle to bring subjects into sharp focus when they're too close (typically within 60cm or 2ft). This makes them unsuitable for macro photography. Using a standard macro lens with a compact digital camera can worsen the problem, often causing vignetting and a very shallow depth of field, making focusing difficult. The UCL-G165 II lens, however, is specifically designed as a "wide close-up" lens for action cameras, accounting for their unique optical characteristics. With this lens, the underwater depth of field for a GoPro HERO12 Black extends from 10cm (3.9 inches) to 35cm (1.1ft), allowing you to capture close-up shots with clarity and ease.
Ideal Angle of View for Macro Shooting
The GoPro HERO12 Black's maximum field of view on land is about 156°, but this narrows to roughly 94° when housed in a dive case and submerged, due to changes in refraction. The UCL-G165 II lens enhances this by increasing the underwater angle of view to 110°, giving you a wider and more dynamic frame for capturing subjects, compared to the UFL-G140 ZD, which has an ultra-wide 140° field of view.
Professional-Level Image Quality
The lens is made up of two optical elements in two groups. All the lens elements are crafted from high-refractive-index glass to reduce the overall size without compromising performance. Both elements feature anti-reflective coatings, which reduce ghosting and flare, ensuring clearer, more vibrant images.
