Gimbal Cover ... Never forget to remove it again.

I saw those ribbons too and considered them but in the end thought they were too “intrusive”
From another post in this forum I saw the great idea to attach I small bit of plastic to the back end of the gimbal cover so that it actually covers the battery on/off switch. This means that you cannot power on the drone without removing the gimbal cover. As an extra reminder I also attached a piece of red tape to the gimbal cover and also to the antenna legs because occasionally I have forgotten to extend them as well.

Here are pictures of what it looks like

The white flecks are just light reflecting off the shiny red tape


Here you can see it in place covering the power switch


And here you can also see the stickers on the antennas. They are temporary though and will come off once I am more used to flying my Mavic

Happy flying

Well that kinda is the idea.

I case my drone when it's not flying... and have never used the gimbal cover. Ever.

Even in the case the gimbal can vibrate and potentially damage it
