Howdy.
As a professional videographer, I've always been amazed at folks who buy $10K cameras, and then proceed to put a $50 UV filter on the front. Talk about lowering the quality of your glass....
With than in mind, I'm thinking about removing altogether the filter on my Inspire. My Phantom didn't have one, and I don't know why the Inspire needs it. Any extra glass between the lens and subject can introduce chromatic distortions and artifacts. I've seen noticeable drops in sharpness on other cameras with cheap filters on the front.
So... Haven't tried it yet, but on my next flight, I think I'll remove the filter and see if that improves the sharpness of the lens...
Thoughts?
Best,
Ben
