What state are you in ? I know a repairer who has them in Perth. My repairer told me the main issue with the cheap ebay ribbons is the pin ends are to thin and they only make intermittent contact when plugged in . Cheers Al

Seems mine are stuck in the coronavirus quagmire . Just wait till their delivery dates pass and get a refund I suppose. Doesn’t help with my cracks tho [emoji22]

2 days [emoji102] , that wouldn’t be bad . Had a look on Amazon but couldnt see any on there, but I’ll admit to not knowing how to fly amazon very well. $20 US ? I got these for $18 Au inc freight but 6 week delivery time is a prick . When you say 2 days is that in the US ? Not sure that Amazon...

Thanks for the help guys . Just ordered a complete set , don’t know how long it will take to leave China given the goings on over there . I did notice that they took my money instantly tho [emoji23] Great resource this forum [emoji106]

Do they differ from the other brands ? The online pics all look the same .

Yeh , I only paid $6 , stupidly thinking I was getting a set . Should have realised, most of the other listings for full sets were about $20.

Yeh its all about the wording of the listing . Its a crappy way of doing business but I should have known ? Not sure why anyone would want just 1 , I’d think that would unbalance the drone and lets face it there are already enough gremlins lining up to crash ya drone . Amazon eh , might have a...

Hi all. Just after a bit of feedback if anyone has installed the little aluminium reinforcing thingys to strengthen where the p3s is prone to cracking under the motor mounts ? I’ve ordered from EBay but have just realised that the bargain price I got for a set is infact for a single unit...

And so there is , great tip , thanks . Typically there were no instructions with the set .

I imagine that the same principle that wearing polaroid sunnies for fishing would apply here? To be effective you need the sun at your back .

The set seems to fit quite nicely although it is quite heavy even with just one of the lenses on . With the drone powered off it makes the camera flop to the downward position . Hoping it wont cause gimbal motor problems down the track . Cheers Al

Thanks guys , as I said at the start, I really bought the set for the polaroid filter ( and perhaps the UV filt if it provides lens protection) I’m mainly shooting over shallow water (esturine environment)looking to see below the surface . Cheers Al

What would the light reducing filters be used for ?

Blimey, that simple eh . Thanks [emoji106]

Hi all , just received a filter set for my P3S and primarily got it for the polaroid filter which I assume is the CPL filter . Wondering if anyone can give me the reader’s digest version of what the others are for and what they achieve? Uv = ultra violet . Application? ND4 = ? ND8 = ? Cheers Al
