Gimbal protector

Can I fly the MA2 with the gimbal cover? I never flew my MP with it off.

No you can’t. The gimbal would be unable to move with the cover still on. Leaving it on could damage the motors.

 

[Gealousy]

Just curious why you would want to?

Just curious why you would want to?

Because with the MP drones you could.

Exactly.

 

[Gealousy]

Oh gotcha. I guess I was thinking the video resolution would not be very good through it.

Because with the MP drones you could.

So Just curious, with the MP is the cover just a cover and not a gimbal lock?

Yes. The gimbal “lock” is a separate piece from the cover. That how it ships from DJI. I now use an after market 1 piece cover and lock for convenience. With the vulnerable ribbon cable on the MP/MPP I have flown with just the cover while exploring new ideas with potential obstacles. That video is just for my research. Not so concerned about hi quality.

Ah, thats cool, i like the idea of being able to fly with the cover over the camera when needed.

Seeing the quality of Iphone photo's has finally weaned me off of cheap protective lens filters and removing the lens cap for every shot on my mirrorless...You can destroy a lens but it's really not all that easy. A gimbal lock is a different story
