It's not really as tight as it seems. Grip it as lightly as possible and turn it to the left. If you cannot grip it without squeezing it, then wear rubber gloves or wrap something else rubber around it. The filter is very thin and fragile, so you do not want to squeeze it.

I found this by accident and it works GREAT!!

the tweezer like motor tool that came wit the Phantom works well too.

Uv cover is very delicate item, handle with care. You can use latex gloves and unscrew is carefully.

You don't really need a special tool. Just some latex / thin rubber gloves, a rubber band or heavy tape. The trick is to place NO COMPRESSION on the incredibly thin ring made out of thrice recycled aluminum cans. Lateral (actually tangential) force only.

Then replace it with a half decent ND filter.
