• Wide-Angle Lens & Lens Hood: The 2-in-1 HD wide-angle lens can be attached to widen the shooting angles. A macro lens is included for close-up shots (4-5cm shooting range). The lens hood helps block excess light and protects the lens. When using the remote control, remove the wide-angle lens as it may block the signal.
