Gimball cover

[TedShred]

I've been reading that the stock ones are a pain to get on and off.
Should I order an aftermarket one when I order of M2pro?
Any suggestions for a better one?

I'm using the SunnyLife gimbal cover. It's easier to attach and it does not slide along the camera when installing it.




Should you buy one now? Well, you could wait and see how you like the stock gimbal cover.

Do a search on E-bay for this one:
"Sunnylife Gimbal Lock Lens Cover Camera Protector Cap for DJI Mavic 2 Pro"

I have one for my Zoom and love it !!
VERY EASY to put on and take off.

For any Mavic 2 Zoom owners, the SunnyLife Mavic 2 Zoom gimbal cover is also available here on Amazon.

Either one is good, I had no issues putting on the stock cover but read many positive reviews with the SunnyLife gimbo cover. Recently purchased the SunnyLife cover, I like the fact it’s a single piece cover and do like it and appearance is great. Both are good covers, SunnyLife is inexpensive, can’t go wrong if you get one.

Keep in mind that with the aftermarket cover shown above, while better than the OEM cover, it still allows the gimbal to bounce around and scratch - you need to modify it with some foam tape or similar if you want a snug, scratch-free fit.

Thank you.

I feel very fine using the stock cover, I never had any difficulty using it... Though I see there are lots of people getting 3rd party covers... I would tell you to wait your mav 2 and see how you feel about it...

Mine doesn’t. No modification required.

Same here my after market Sunnylife gimble cover fits perfect.

Which one do you have? The Sunnylife one?

Yes we both have the Sunnylife gimbal covers and the work GREAT.

What I don't understand is how it can hold the gimbal head completely secure without actually touching the gimbal head at all - plastic on plastic means scratches are possible. The ones I've seen need modification for a perfectly secure, scratch-free fit.

I use the standard one, its no problem to fit. I have put some clear sellotape on the part that fits to the top of the camera, that way it does n't scratch.

The gimble cover and the standard DJI bag have always been like Marmite, you either love them or hate them.
