IR filter fall - PTZ

[Mark_M]

Good news is this seems to be minor (it if now fixed). But a heads up possibly to those that may have this happen to them.
I have a SD1A404XB-GNR 4MP mini PTZ from @EMPIRETECANDY that I finally got mounted yesterday.

This video is when I had the PTZ mounted onto a disco lighting stand (great things for the chap price).

In the video I twist the camera off it's mount, seems to be enough force to knock (what I think is) the IR filter.
I restarted the camera, in hindsight it would of been quicker to block the light sensor and it trip it between day/night. Hopefully that would have reset the filter.

Let me know your thoughts, I think this is minor. It hasn't happened while the camera is mounted on the eve during remote movement.

For what it is worth that filter is very very lightweight ... and it cantilevered into position. So any hard jar will move it (depending on orientation. Some slide up/down, some pivot. Pivot is cheaper I'd expect.

Somewhere I've got photos of one I took apart to put in an IR PASS filter.
