I always attach
this gimbal cover when transporting my Spark and/or sliding it into a bag. It's the most fragile part of the drone, so I decided it was worth it to spend a few bucks to protect it. If you're very careful with your Spark or store it in a case/bag that has a compartment that protects it, you might be just fine without a cover.

Another perk of a cover like this is that it'll protect the camera from being scratched and or getting dirty.
BTW, if you want to try a different cover, I keep a list of commonly used Spark gimbal covers
here.
I use
this remote controller stick guard when storing my remote controller in a bag. When it's in my hard case, it's not needed since the sticks are not able to press up against anything.

I've seen a few people mention their sticks were damaged from not keeping them protected, so I think it's a must have item if the remote controller is not being transported in a bag/case that has a dedicated compartment which prevents the sticks from pressing up against the sides of the bag/case.
