Is it possible to replace the lens on the mavic? What happens if the lens gets a scratch - would I need to send the whole thing in for repair? I'm thinking about buying some nd-filters and using them as a shield in case of that scenario ...
Polar Pro, Taco RC, and probably others offer UV filters if you just want scratch protection. I don't know that I'd bother, though, at least not if you're worried about scratches resulting from a crash. The Mavic's gimbal seems to have a very low crash survival rate, so it doesn't seem very likely that you'll ever wind up with a camera that has a scratched lens but that is otherwise functional. As you've probably noticed from various threads on the topic, many of us use ND filters to some extent, but I never use the UV filter that came with my Taco set.
Thanks for the advice on the filters. I'm by far no where near a pro photograph (what's the level before amateur - or even before that?) I'd just like to protect my devices as best as I can.
Thanks for the ptr, I'll check those filters out. |
