No, the lens is pretty good on it’s own in that respect and the Inspire 2 applies it’s own correction which results in a nice rectilinear image.
This might be a silly question but can you change focal length from the ground on this lens or any others?

The 9-18mm lens is manual only but the 14-42mm pancake lens can be zoomed using a slider, which appears on the Go4 screen when a motorised zoom lens is detected.
One issue with the motorised zoom is that the built in lens correction i mentioned in a previous post is set when you press record so if you change zoom during a recording you can end up with significant lens distortion, particularly when close to the subject.

The zoom lenses do have there uses.
The 9-18mm is handy when you need a wider FOV than the widest prime.
The 14-42mm is excellent for inspection work as it allows you to move quickly from an overview to detailed view without having to move the drone.
