    New to drone photography after 50 years both hobby and professional

    Thanks, as a photographer and having things like broken lens from rough handling (not much other than hard lens breaking rock and sharp things everywhere here) is there a good clear lens to act as protective lens available? Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots
