My understanding is the front ring in the camera is threaded and screws off to install filters....Correct?
Well, I can't get mine to turn.......Any ideas?

Correct. Try wrapping something rubber around it, grip it as loosely as possible, and turn it counter-clockwise. It'll eventually start unscrewing... just take your time and be gentle.
Yes it does, many threads on this.
It seems almost impossible to remove but using 2 fingers and a very very light touch it will turn and come off.
The lighter the better, don't squeeze, use a rubber glove.

If you have the upgraded motors you can use the prop removal wrench to remove the lens cover.
I tried that and it didn't work. The grip doesn't work. In fact I almost ruined the prop removal tool doing this. It's pretty flimsy
Best easiest/cheapest/nearest solution for this is:
go to the grocery store
get one of those rubber bands they put around broccoli to keep in bunches
problem solved. it's easy once you have this.
I keep several of the rubber bands in my case now. Makes things a LOT easier.
Gentle grip. If you grip it too tight it won't undo. It comes off really easy with a soft grip.

Yeah - use a rubber band and just rotate without trying to squeeze!! - Simples- If you grip too tight it just jams the threads!
