MAX Replacment Protective Lenses

To me, the greatest disadvantage of the GoPro MAX is the chance of the lenses getting scratched. While this cover protects them from getting scratched, they catch light sources and make your video look awful. You're essentially covering high-quality glass lenses with an acrylic bubble that then degrades image quality. I'm glad they exist, but They've ruined more than one shot for me due to the weird look they create from time to time.

The protective lens do protect the camera lens however they are easily scratched. I've tried handling my cameras with caution however even placing them very gently onto a countertop or desk can scratch the protective lens… and I don't lay my cameras down on the protective lens covers. I place my cameras down on their sides. I now wrap my cameras in a microfiber towel when not in use and that still doesn't prevent the protective lens covers from getting scratched. It's very annoying when I've put new protective lens covers on and later discover upon reviewing the footage that there's a small scratch right in the middle of my footage. The protective lens covers need to be made more durable. I'm replacing them too often… you probably can use times before a scratch appears. These are really only reliable for a one time use. I hope a better quality product becomes available soon. If I find a better quality product I'll update this post.
