Hello fellow Inspire fans,
I am going to convert my X3 to NDVI specs. I read all the pros and cons, it's not perfect I know.
Some offer NIR+red lenses, others offer NIR+blue. I guess they'll both work.
But what I can't understand is the following:
If I replace the original lens with a lens without the original IR-blocking filter (or maybe I can just remove the IR-blocking filter from my lens), I will end up with a camera receiving all wave lengths. This will give me the pinkish pictures. Now I can screw on a filter on the FRONT of the X3 for my particular application. So I can add a NIR+red for NDVI or a IR-blocking filter and capture regular RGB images again. All without removing and refocussing the lens again.
This idea looks too good to be true, why is this not done yet or am I missing something? Are these 'screw on' front filters for sale in IR-blocking and NIR+red (or blue)?
Please give me your thoughts on this.
