Precision optical glass and aluminum construction
Don't be fooled by imitations. The +15 MacroMate Mini follows an 18-year product design of premium underwater optics and rugged construction. No plastic mounts to break and only the highest grade multi-element optics receive the FLIP and MacroMate brand.
Add the +15 MacroMate Mini to your GoPro FLIP system
The +15 MacroMate Mini threads into the FLIP 55mm adapter, INCLUDED. Go professional with a FLIP color correction filter and a +15 MacroMate Mini at your fingertips. The world's greatest and most versatile GoPro lens system has just evolved.
Why do you need a macro lens?
Without corrective optics, GoPro HERO3, HERO3+, HERO4, HERO5, HERO6, HERO7, HERO8, HERO9, HERO10, HERO11, HERO12 and HERO13 cameras can only focus to about 1-2 feet underwater. The custom +15 MacroMate Mini design allows you to get within 3 inches of your subject so you can bring the tiny wonders you find to the big screen. If your favorite underwater subjects are about the size of a golf ball, the +15 MacroMate Mini is about to become your best friend.
Fill your frame with golfball sized subjects
The FLIP +10 Close-Up Lens works great for shooting subjects sized from soccer balls down to golfballs that are roughly 6-12 inches from the camera. However, the +15 MacroMate Mini brings your focus to about 3 inches allowing you to fill the frame with subjects as small as a golfball. The video frames below were shot with a GoPro HERO3+ in narrow video mode and illustrate the difference between the lenses. The scorpionfish head was about the size of a softball. The camera was moved closer to the subject to get the +15 MacroMate Mini image. Our staff's favorite macro configuration is a FLIP10 with both a +15 MacroMate Mini and +10 Close-Up Lens so we're ready for all subjects.
The +15 MacroMate Mini is the only true macro lens for the GoPro
Two custom-designed glass optics are mated together and sealed in a vacuum resulting in a lens that is perfected for underwater use. This design delivers sharper images, higher contrast, and deeper blacks than any other GoPro lens designed to date. It's state of the art and born from countless hours of in-water testing.
