Forgot to take gimbal guard off before turning drone on

Used a cable clamp which looks cleaner. Hope the superglue holds on for awhile.

I think it’s everyone own personal responsibility to take him own gimbal cover off.. if you hop into your car you never forget to put your seat belt on.. after paying for your repair I don’t think your ever gonna forget again.. just commonsense ay?
Cheers
Happy flying

Common sense is not enough for some people.

Just another way to help ones self to not turn on the power and forgetting to leave the gimbal guard on which might damage the camera gimbal. I'm tired, I hope I'm posting in the right place. Haha.

Here's my version - no way you can turn on when the Gimbal Guard is in place - works great! Bright yellow plastic cut out from honey pot lid.

Well that's a dreadful price. Here's a free starting point, and you can build on it from experience. Sorry it's only a .pdf - this site won't allow Word documents.
