    DO NOT Remove the protective film cover??

    So I just got my skytrak and this warning was in the document bag. Its referring to the thin film ( i assume) on the front of the skytrak under the aperture area. The film has bubbles in it etc. I cant imagine wanting to keep this piece of plastic on...
    ANy help?
    thanks

    Anyone have recommendations on cleaning the hard protective screen covering the cameras?

        Polycarbonate and plastics do not play well with ammonia. I would never use cleaners with ammonia like Windex on them. It will eventually cloud and haze it.

        Novus is usually recommended:

          Typically, I have a water bottle in the garage. I just some on a paper towel and wipe off the dust.

          I don't think any of us are using it in a fabrication shop.

        Hey all, sorry for the confusion. There are actually 2 films.

        One is a flimsy clear film with pull tabs - this typically has bubbles in it and is only for protection during shipping and handling. You want to pull these off before use.

        The second film is a much harder nano film and is designed to protect the lens from scratches in the field. This film does not have pull tabs and should not be removed.

          SkyTrak_Seth Can your statement become a sticky?

          "One is a flimsy clear film with pull tabs - this typically has bubbles in it and is only for protection during shipping and handling. You want to pull these off before use.

          The second film is a much harder nano film and is designed to protect the lens from scratches in the field. This film does not have pull tabs and should not be removed."

          I believe this question has been asked several times. I'm fairly certain its in the user manual that comes with the unit.

            I don't have that kind of power

            I'll see if there's anything I can do to make things more clear in the user guide. It's obviously confusing to people.
