FIRST PERSON X-WING

This video is an interesting experiment in using a head mounted Go-pro to record a match from the players perspective.

It is also a perfect example of why the fish eye lens is not suitable for recording X-Wing play.

an example is that at one point the player wearing the camera chooses his maneuvers on his dial, now the dial couldn't have been more than two feet from the camera lens but it appears so small that it is impossible to tell which maneuvers he is choosing.

Fish eye lens's are great for mounting on your mountain bike for a ride but for X-Wing where the focus of the video is a 90cm x 90cm field where the whole area should be evenly recorded it just doesn't work out so well.
