    Camera dome will be about $10 to replace . With the camera right up next to the dome you get no glare . The only time I've replaced one is when I nosed in one of my early prototypes. The domes are acrylic and made with a no-touch vacuum forming process

    What will be the replacement cost for that big plastic camera dome? I have seen in posts regarding Foamaroo camera dome, is that good quality (low image distortion) plastic domes ain't cheap.  How bad is the sun glare through the dome?

    I think it looks incredibly awesome and can't wait to see more videos :)

    Tilman ,

      I will be updating hobbyuav.com with much more technical detail . I have yanked and banked and pulled as many G as I can . It seems about as bullet prof as one can get .

    thanks
