Significantly more viewing angles without too much loss of quality
1.) First impression/Technical details
The boost lens for the Osmo Action 4 & 5 Pro makes a very high-quality impression even when unpacked! The metal frame looks neatly finished, the optical glass is clear and free of streaks, and the 28-layer nano coating underlines the professional standard. The thread mount is exactly the same as the original Osmo Action lens, which ensures a secure fit.
2.) Practice test
In use, the 185° ultra-wide angle is particularly impressive due to the significantly expanded image section. Landscapes, urban scenes and action shots appear noticeably more open and dynamic. According to the manufacturer, the horizontal image area is expanded by around 26% and the vertical image area by around 24%, which is clearly visible in practice. (See video) The image quality remains relatively stable: Colors look natural, contrast and sharpness remain at a high level, and annoying reflections are effectively reduced thanks to the multi-coating. It is important to activate the camera's wide-angle mode in order to exploit its full potential. Threaded assembly is quick and fits securely even when moving.
The lens should not be waterproof and the slight distortions on the edges should not be ignored, but don't forget: It is a creative lens! :)
3.) My personal conclusion:
From a content creator's perspective, this wide-angle lens is a real addition to the DJI Osmo Action 4 & 5. It significantly expands the creative scope without sacrificing image quality too much and is ideal for vlogs, travel and action shots. The high-quality workmanship and clean optical performance justify the price.
The only minor limitation point remains the lack of waterproofness, which must be taken into account when shooting underwater. Overall, however, the benefits clearly outweigh them, which is why I am making a clear purchase recommendation here.
