I was wondering if it would be possible to create a glass dome replacement, that could be used on the mavic when flying.

It could come in different versions of ND or even an MC.

Would this still cause reflection issues like the plastic dome does?

Let me know your thoughts.
 
Most likely it would because of the size of the camera. Someone explained the problem with the Mavic camera length and the way light enters and heads back to the sensor. Not sure exactly, but if you want to try it, it would be cool to see.
 
I can't begin to imagine what it would cost to produce an optically correct glass dome, I think you'd need someone like Heraeus to make it, or maybe the people that made the spectacles for the Hubble telescope. It may be possible to modify the dome to accept a flat glass ND filter, but it would have to be a fair size to allow for gimbal movement, but even so you'd be very restricted on gimbal tilt and yaw. Not sure why you'd want to do it anyway..
