Where to buy clear/uv filters for m2p

[Prmath]

Thanks. They were my second choice, after noticing DJI don’t seem to offer one. Polarpro also seem to only stock various tinted lenses.

Checked amazon, eBay, my localised autho sellers. So far no dice.

Call DJI and check. Since they own the camera maker, maybe.....

I’ll take that second beer now bartender.

You want to microwave some popcorn while waiting for that second beer?

You would think they'd be more readily available.
On the other hand, with where they placed the gimbal and camera, it is well protected and not broken easily.

The OP just came in asking where to buy a UV filter with no explanation.

He didn't need to.

I have a spare because it's easy to damage the stock filter taking it on and off to install an ND filter. So for a few bucks I don't want to be without.

Happy now?

Thanks for the helpful replies to (what I thought was) a simple topic heading.

Cheers to most of you

And just for info: when I first read the topic, I was interested and found the following which can be either polarized or NON:

This is for the Zoom. Would this be a reasonable replacement for the factory filter?

Only if you wanted to reduce the light levels by 2 stops (cut the light to 25% ) or have a particular reason to want to use a 4x longer shutter speed..
For still photography that's probably not a great idea.
Definitely not in low light situations.

I see no reason the Non UV wouldn't be fine to use if you were replacing your stock one for whatever reason ff22 . I don't use that brand but PP .

NO! Just looking to basically replace the lens protector that ships with the Zoom, in my case. Don't want to alter the light transmitting capacity.

Looks like PGY Tech has a UV filter as well...

That page does have a UV only filter which should work just fine. My question would be why all those filters have a pinkish tint to them. To me they should be clear or greyish looking.

I have noticed a number of the filter sets from different manufacturers have that same pinkish cast. Coating?

 

[DanMan32]

Probably is an anti-reflective coating. Usually they are tuned where they look purple.

Skyreat nd filters half the price of Polar pro and just as good

 

[ff22]

Again, I think some folks are looking for filters that have NO impact on color or light transmission. So, NO neutral density types. Basically one that can replace the ones shipped on either the Pro or Zoom.

Most likely. I looked at the filters for my dslr and you can barely see any or no tint and that is looking at reflections in the glass and not through the glass.
But then I have to consider that these filters cost 5 to 10 times what the drone filters are going for.

Opinion, not to be confused with a fact

 

[Wyojet]

Have you broken or lost the one that came with your Mavic?

Hey, I saw you were looking for a extra stock M2P clear lens? I accidentally didn't know how to land n hit my concrete n cracked my dji lens. I too have looked everywhere n no luck unless you buy a 6 pack of tinted lenses. So, am asking if you ever found a good source? Thanks Ty

 

[Pdunnuck]

Seriously? All I see are various tinted lenses- which I understand why, but there must someone making the standard one(or cheap knock offs)

Any ideas?

I need one...wrote DJI & they are looking for the part # & seeing if they have one. I bought a used M2p with other filters but not the original (all dark)
