Looked for a camera protector and found an old gear from my Volitation coaxial. Love it.

Hey Graham, could you not use the landing gear off the Volitation for your quad... Just looked at mine and it certainly appears feasible

After the first hit, I mounted my cam further back inside the frame.

Yeah that's a better solution if you can, I see Graham's is quite a way forward of the frame, my lense cover is the only thing forward of the frame...

The lens protector makes it look worse than it is:) It is just the convex lens that stands proud of the frame:) I hit the grass nose first in the garden, so that made me put the gear on:) Very MadMax i think:)

Certainly is a madmax mod, but if it protects your cam then it's doing its job..

That's a good idea, guys! My camera sticks out a bit forward. Maybe I can find something to attach for some protection.

I did the same as Stambo and mounted my cam further back.
