Covers for the joysticks...

[Thmoore]

Hi! I had good luck with my Mavic Mini keeping a cover on my joysticks so I could keep them attached all the time.

Is there consensus (or any strongly held beliefs, at least!) on the best such joystick cover for the Air 2?

Thanks!

I suppose it depends on how you store it
Personally I think you're going to do damage eventually to the controller not taking them off.
After all it's literally a 3 second job for each one

I’m more afraid of losing them. And for whatever reason, it just irritates me every time I need to put them on.

Get the shortest m4 bolts you can and just use the head for the joystick.
Try it

Was rubbish lol

I am with you Thmoore I bought one for my SC, protects the screen & prevents damage to the sticks.
I don't see how they would cause damage but I know I would lose a stick at some point if I removed them every time.

Removing the sticks saves quite a lot of space in the carrying bag. I use stick covers only on my MP because the sticks are not detachable

Coming from a Spark, I appreciate taking the sticks off and their little storage places.

I ended up doing this to some M4 bolts, works great and feels nice.

Lol, this probably doesn't count but i hate taking them off too and just wanted to protect them in my lay flat case... Just made a rough cut out lol.

I dont like the idea of laving them on and loading them up. I remove them and use the noodle., stops the rc from bouncing around and keeps the joysticks handy.

So I went and bought the one cover is could find; here it is:

It works. It’s not at all flexible, but it takes advantage of the softness of the rubber on the sticks to grip itself tightly to the remote.

I will say that something I’d feared from the pictures is indeed the case in real life: It looks quite... anatomical... when it’s in place.

yep looks like it was made on a home 3d printer.

Thingyverse has all kinds of stick protectors, sun visors and just about anything else you can think of for the MA2 and any other drone.
i printed up a stick protector, cost was about 25 cents.
