I flew a brand new P3P last month and after only a few times switching out ND filters, the glass in the stock UV filter that comes with the P3P popped off when my friend was handling it. (gently, she's a pro cinematographer and we handle lenses and filters all day long).
Now I get a new P4 and almost immediately the flipping glass drops right out of the filter just sitting in my filter case.
Asked another pilot who has a P3 and sure enough, same thing.
Firstly, what the what?? Can't we get a decent lens filter out of the box that doesn't fall apart if you just breathe on it?
Secondly: is there a source for a well-made, clear filter (UV haze, I suppose) that sells as a single item, and that somebody can vouch for?
I can find kits that include one but I have all the polarizers and ND I need and don't want to spend another $100 to get a single UV replacement.
While we are on the topic, for the suggestion box:
How about a variable ND in camera that's controllable from the RC?
Am I dreaming?
