Lens got stuck

[mihai.ichim]

Hey guys,
I tried to add special lens to drone, I have a Phantom 4, and I realized I cannot unscrew the camera cap that came with the drone. It is aluminium based and I think it got slightly deformed during my attempts to unscrew it (only used my hands, but still...).
Anyone have any idea how can I still take that off without damaging my camera or the cap?
Cheers!

Grab a pair of rubber dishwashing gloves or wind an elastic band around the the lens and try that. Be gentle....

The lighter you grip it, the easier it is....

Here's just one:- Professional - Lens Protector

The chances are that if you've just used your fingers so far, then no damage has been done to the filter threads. If you still can't shift it using gloves/a cable tie/ etc etc, then squirt a very small amount of WD40 or similar into the threads and try again. You probably won't have to though....
