    Myanmar, Vietnam and Lens Removal

    I found having the phantom upside-down gave me better access to the lens. Initially i used a rubber band to help grip the lens and used a gentle twist. It seems like the more pressure you use the harder it is to unscrew. Everytime after i dont need the band. Hope that helps. As for the flying...

    do i need to do the update
