W-20 and Inon macro lens on compact video?

[reefrat]

Hi

Both the Flip UltraHD and Picsio camcorders have fixed focus.
Can you please tell me if they work well with the two accessory 67mm lens (wide angle and macro) without autofocus?
And does the Flip U/HD need to zoom at all to avoid vignetting with the wide angle?

Cheers
RR

I strongly recommend a wide angle lens with either camera. Neither camera will vignette in HD video modes. You may see very slight vignetting in still and VGA video modes.

The Flip camera only focuses to about 1.5m with its native lens so a macro lens would definitely be helpful for shooting any close-ups. As the Picsio focuses to less than a foot you can probably get by without one.
