Where to get a transparent cam cover for filming

[jake88]

Hi was wondering anyone know what to buy a clear cover for the camera?i want to be able to film thru it...the clear sticker on the cam came off today and im worrying about scratches etc on the eye.

Are you telling us that you were filming through that clear sticker ???

The objective of the cam is protected by a UV filter so you won't scratch it.

Jake, the glass that you took the plastic of from, is the your clear cover, the actual lens are behind it. It is removable and replaceable

Yeah, you don't want anything on there. Buy a lens cap to protect when not in-use..

Haha well live and learn

When u say lense cap is that just anything i can get in any camera store?

 

[jlo]

Probably not. There are tons of 3d printed ones for sale on eBay.

Like this for example (I am in now way affiliated with this eBay seller)

Thats shipped from China, personally I'd buy from a US seller but, you get the idea.

Jake, and you were happy with your picture quality with the plastic, now you will be amazed. By the way did you remove the piece of polystyrene in the gimbal behind the camera?

That would be a good point to check
