I am not going to lie, I am actually mildly irritated because #1 they stopped selling original acrylic filters and #2 switched to glass filters and #3 did it in a span of a couple of months. It is like buying an ipad 3 only to have ipad 4 come out 31 days after... a whole day after you can return the old one.
As a proud owner of 2 polar pro filters I might very well open my wallet and spend a few bucks to buy more filters.

I purchased two of the acrylic versions... I do not like how easily they scratch..

Their new red/macro combo filter looks promising!

I'm pretty exited about this one, macro is the one place I have been disappointed in my gopro footage.

So what are they made out of now? I was interested in buying one of these but not if they scratch at a drop of a hat...

The new ones are glass.

I like the price for the dual roles. Question is the performance of the red filter solo as good as the SRP Urpro CY? I've seen comparisons of the Urpro alongside others and it's consistently superior.

I just received my macro lens from Polar Pro today. I saw it at the Long Beach Scuba show and liked the results they showed on their demo video and how easy it is to install and use. I've got a trip to Cozumel planned at the end of this month, so hopefully I can post some video when I get back home.
The acrylic filters scratching is not a big issue as the water fills them and you can't see it in the footage
I put a post on my blog to add a black ring around the plastic as that protects from flare it is good to see that the new version for the hero3 has a black ring
For what concerns the macro lens......
