X3 gimbal without lens?

[Lollo82Inspire]

Might be a silly question buy I'm in a learning curve. Can I fly with the x3 camera without filters or lens cover? Does a transparent one (that I don't have) needs to be always attached?

Your X3 does NOT require the filter to fly. However, I would recommend it for obvious reasons. A not so obvious reason is weight. When you do purchase a lens filter, make sure it is light weight. Beware of third-party filters that may throw your gimbal out of balance. Highly unlikely, but should be a consideration.

From a video that I saw the x3 has a lens, a transparent one, maybe to protect?

I cannot. I would do the same Google/Grok/DJI search that I'm going to recommend you do.

If you can’t find one, I have sent packages to your area. Just time and money. Couldn’t be that costly for such a small box.
Keep in touch.

Many thanks for your kind offer mate, I've found a brand new lens kit, it's called Part nr.35 and includes the transparent lens + a ND one.
Hope this might be helpful for someone else, that is the aim of the Forum.
