Entaniya’s fisheye lenses for GoPro cameras have proven to be quite popular since they were initially released. They led to the creation of something Entaniya calls “One Shot VR“. This is essentially footage shot with a single 250° fisheye lens and then mapped into a VR sphere. It doesn’t contain the complete surroundings, but as long as you don’t need to look directly behind you, it does a pretty good job.

Now, Entaniya have scaled up the lens and announced the new Fisheye 250 for micro four thirds cameras. This allows you a much higher degree of control over your fisheye video footage, as well as the ability to shoot raw stills.
