yeh but apparently this question is being ignored even by DJI reps or no one knows.. I've asked this in several related threads but have gotten no answer.I want to order, but i do not want them if they are plastic.

The lens is glass and the frame is plastic.

Now, does anyone know how they fit onto the mavic camera? From pictures i can see that the filters have three tabs.. However from what i know,the mavic camera doesnt have any protruding notches where these filters would attach on.. I will be receiving my Mavic today so will have a better idea.. Has anyone received these filters and installed them? Pictures, Videos?

Nothing yet, but I'm sure something will be on YouTube soon.

20 Euro just for shipping to Germany, that is far to much.

I sure will.  That's what started all the questions about lens material in various threads.

The frame being plastic should work well... easy on/off without scratching the camera body.

Question is, how durable would those plastic tabs be when repeatedly removed and reinstalled.. Im still waiting for some review to pop up to see how these install on the mavic camera...

Sounds good. And the install/removal should be easy and will not cause any scratches.

I'm sure with it's design it will be very durable.

I'm usually not one for guessing, but I'm going to make an educated guess on this..

The three tabs actually seem to have a 90 degree bend on the back, but it's hard to tell because I think they were largely photoshopped out in the DJI photo.  I still think I see some, though.  These would then clip into the recessed ring on the camera body:

That "90 degree bend" seems like left over plastic to me

IMO there are only two things that can hold these on.  Those 'left over pieces of plastic' or magic.  I wish for the latter, but I'll bet on the former
