Hi,

I notice currently there's no aperture adjustment. Will there be in a later update or is the aperture physically fixed at 2.8?

As far as I know the camera has a fixed aperture and a fixfocus lens. (But  l like the results anyway...)

You noticed correctly.  About the only way you could adjust that is with ND or Polarizing filters...

D'OH!  You probably also noticed DJI does not currently offer any filters as well.  

The current solution is some various homemade filters or 3rd party vendors like Polar Pros or Rage Cams

Why dont they make a screw-on aperture, just like screw-on ND FILTERS?

Because there is no such thing. Google lens principles to find out why.

If you are looking to purchase ND filters then the ones from Taco RC are good quality and a reasonable price. They can be found here ...

I placed a black piece of paper behind the glass of the srew-on front with a hole inside. It was like an aperture. I will test it with different holes.

That will not work, an aperture has to be inside the lens at a particular spot to work.
