the lens is metal and quite heavy, its a lot bigger than I thought it would be but judging by the feel it seems to be good quality. I have ordered a different wide angle lens from ebay in the hope that it`ll be a bit lighter.
anyone?

I have one. Be careful with the wiring - most come with the plug in backwards or miswired, and there are several versions of the  board to,add to the confusion.

The colour';s a bit washed out - could probably use an IR cut filter. You';ll also want to make up a cable to change the settings.

Thanks quadbod, tell me more about this settings cable. Is it essential or will the default setting work ok?

It';ll work, but won';t be great for FPV. There are wiring instructions in the files section on the international warehouse listing.
