Gimbal protection

[Adrianvert]

I purchased a gimbal protector and it put a little mark on my gimbal (it's fine only a very fine scratch). I threw it away immediately kind of annoyed as I've only had the drone 2 weeks.

Anyway. Does anyone always use a gimbal protector? Or never? Anyone broke a gimbal while travelling? I use the Flymore bag, camera upwards with a little bubble wrap over it.

BONUS TOPIC!
- Anyone use/ think that controller stick protection is necessary?

I damaged mine in a crash. It’s on it’s way to DJI as we speak

Mine has never left any scratches. I use it all the time while flying. You can see mine in my avatar.
I also pack it away with the solid protector. Meant for just that. For storing and travel. It keeps the gimbal fixed.

I to use fly more bag and not being a hard case I chose to use gimble cover and rc stick cover both from (pgy tech) and very happy with the protection and finish of the 2 products.

I never use a gimbal cover/protector. I keep/store my Spark in a GPC specific case or the original foam case it came in. I've travelled with my Spark extensively including putting it in a "top case" on the back of my motorcycle and travelled hundred of miles off-road on crappy roads (rocky, washboard where it felt like I was riding a Jack Hammer) with everything in the case bouncing around and my Spark held up with no damage or scratches. Some of those off-road miles, the Spark was simply stored in its foam case...

Yep. If it's good enough for shipping around the world, it should be just fine for safe travels.

I've been happy with this combo pack to far. Gimbal cover, prop protector and joystick protection. $12 isn't too bad.
