Hello , I have a DJI PHANTHOM 4 Advanced and i want to remove the front lins , so I can put another filter on

Is it possible to unscrew the lins ?

Yes, you can unscrew the stock UV filter that comes installed on the camera. Grip it loosely with even pressure around the filter and turn it counterclockwise.

These at very tricky to remove and can be damaged in the process. The key words, like msinger mentioned, are loose and even. It's kind of a "feel" thing.

thanks , i been watching videos on youtube , its possible , but you need to me gentel , no pressure , just , twist it

Lick your 1st and 2nd finger and thumb, rub together, put finger and thumb at 12, 6 and 9 oclock (like a triangle shape) and with the lightest of pressure you can do,  twist it anti clockwise, if it does not move, you are squeezing too hard, touch it light a feather, its soft material and any pressure puts it out of shape a little and makes it grip and it cannot turn., softly, softly, catchy monkey lol

I'm sorry there are no many skills on unscrewing the filter. Just make sure the direction is anti-clockwise.

Do you have a tie wrap? Some folks have had success gently tighten a tie wrap around the lens and use the tie wrap tail as leverage.

God bless you Fatherxmas , i will try it

If my method above didnt work then you are pressing/squeezing TOO tightly, you will not believe how gentle you need to be, the lightest touch possible before your fingers slip off.  On your lappy or mac book, using the mousepad, try to move your finger on it without moving the actual mouse, no matter how lightly you touch the pad, the mouse moves, well, the touch of the lens cover needs to be like that. Problem with the lens cover is, the tighter you squeeze, the harder it becomes, if you have an elastic bands? double the single band and place around the lens and same applies, lightly touching, lightest touch possible,  twist that mother off there...

Sorry about this. You may ask a local experienced pilot for help to see whether there is any luck.
