Mavic mini gimbal protector

Put your Mavic Mini away in its case or safely on a flat surface somewhere. Just not having the gimbal protector attached isn't going to damage the gimbal.

Now, if you're traveling with your Mavic Mini and the camera is bouncing all around while the Mavic Mini is powered off... well, that could be a problem.

A lot of people believe that (not sure why), but it's not actually the case. Check out my poll here:

I have seen quite a few post with Gimbal Over load warning and the next thing that happens you realize you weakened the ribbon after two or three times and than its torn.

You might get away with it once , but seeing as how succeptible the Gimbal our to ribbon tears its not recommended.

What you might mean is people learn really quick not to leave it the gimbal lock on.

Yes I just leave mine in the trunk and the motorcycle hatch, no case at all.
Never had any issues with it thus far .. You should be fine without it for awhile. .

Check out the poll I linked above. It's really a non-issue. These gimbals seem to be more durable than most people think.

Even though, one should always attach the gimbal lock before traveling. It's a good practice.

I used a waterproof label stuck to the base of the protector to make it obvious. It also acts as a prop guard when stored

Cool idea now what way would be the best way to store it on its back or stomach

You can purchase a replacement gimbal lock\cover off ebay or amazon for a few dollars...

there is one on amazon that has an integrated prop holder too, look for RCGeek Mavic Mini Gimbal Holder Camera Lens Cover Transport Lens Cap with Propellers Guard
