9-18 lens

Use it often for it’s wide angle (9mm) capability and it’s quite good. Maybe not as sharp as the 12mm or 25mm primes but much sharper than the 14-42.
 
This might be a silly question but can you change focal length from the ground on this lens or any others?

The 9-18mm lens is manual only but the 14-42mm pancake lens can be zoomed using a slider, which appears on the Go4 screen when a motorised zoom lens is detected.

One issue with the motorised zoom is that the built in lens correction i mentioned in a previous post is set when you press record so if you change zoom during a recording you can end up with significant lens distortion, particularly when close to the subject.
 
The zoom lenses do have there uses.

The 9-18mm is handy when you need a wider FOV than the widest prime.

The 14-42mm is excellent for inspection work as it allows you to move quickly from an overview to detailed view without having to move the drone.

Any other alternative for going wider than 12mm than 9-18 mm ?
