Are you looking for a wide-angle replacement lens for your existing camera, or do you want to buy a new camera w/wide angle lens? If you are just looking for a lens, can you provide the model camera you are using?

Sorry for the lag time in getting back with you! I mainly am on RCGroups forum now since I am into FPV now. I have a QAV500 that I recently installed FPV gear on and I went with the Sony PZ0420 camera that allows you to swap out different lenses. I have a 3.6, 2.8, 2.1 lenses so I can change the field of view. You will need to purchase a metal or plastic housing for this camera but as you will see if you search, there are many fans of this camera. Here is a link to purchase if you are interested - http://www.securitycamera2000.com/pr...-Menu-DNR.html

Forgot to add, I do not think you can change out the lense on the camera you currently have.

Thanks but I have to keep it very small and light weight and this one is a little bigger and heavier than what I have....I am getting used to the field of view I have so guess it will work....Thanks for your time....

I don't have the same camera, but it is a tiny camera very similar to that one. What I did was bought a 120 degree lens for a keychain camera, unscrewed the lens from both cameras and swapped them. You'll have to bring it into focus by screwing it in or out until the image is sharp then use a little hot glue to secure it so it can't turn anymore. This is what I used.
