Aftermarket Wide-Angle lens for the POV.1?

[Whiteroom_Guardian]

I know they all come standard with it now, but I am thinking of buying one from last year that has the standard lens.

Having never actually fondled one, is the lens easily swapped out for the wide angle, or will I have to buy a whole new camera head?

From what I can see on the VIO website I would have to get a whole new head. Does anyone know if they will be coming out with a converter lens for the first gen. POV or are they trying to force people to buy a whole new rig?

Thanks

You need a whole new head.

Doh! I was thinking about skiing too much I guess.

I am pretty sure you need a whole new head as the VIO camera itself is pretty un-standard with dimensions.

HelmetCamCentral has them and I believe they give a discount to IFSA/Freeskiing Tour members
