It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

A few months ago in a reply in this post I mentioned looking for a camera that would record both forward and backward for cycling, and ran across this kickstarter today for exactly that, thought it was worth sharing.

Hey man, FYI, I swapped out the glass lens on mine just now, and the clarity I gained is significant!

The Drift lens kit was like $25 + shipping, and I didn't need anything but the glass. So, I measured mine, and found a replacement "watch lens glass" replacement... 19mm is what you want, flat glass (some are domed), and as close to 0.9mm as possible. The one I got was 0.8mm, and it fits perfectly. I paid like $11, just to get it quickly, but I can order a bulk pack for just a few dollars each.

Not that I've had to replace this before, but it had so many micro scratches from cleaning the lens when wet while riding, that I figured I should try. I was expecting some improvement, but it's like the contrast just got cranked up!

If you ever need to replace that lens, look for third-party glass!

Thanks for the tip! Mine is still pretty pristine but I'll keep this in mind for when it inevitably needs replaced.

For sure. I got the idea when I read a review about the entire Drift lens kit, and someone said "I wish they just sold the glass". So, I measured mine up, and was able to find adequate replacements within minutes!
