Mavic Mini Lens Hood Protective Cover
- Thread starter thermalflyer
- Start date
Have you ever seen your drone’s lights in your images taken in fog free air? If not it will likely only provide marginally useful shading from the sun.
Looks to protect gimbal from knocks and not act as a sun shade
i thought that as well just ordered it off ebay, i have a similar one for my MPP and always fly with it on, more for protection than keeping of the sun glare although it does help in that respect
They claim it can provide sun shade .. but I think knock protection might be the main purpose

I wouldn’t bother. Images shot into the sun, with or without a sun shade are generally not very interesting. Spend your energies observing what the light does to your images.

PGYTech‘s version
will be interested to see if either affects the 20 degree gimbal up view... and how much side glare protection is offered by each.

MAVIC MINI Camera guard by MagicFred
I recently bought a MAVIC Mini and didn’t found any device to protect the camera gimbal while flying. Since I don’t want to damage it in case of little crash and/or hard landing I have designed this little guard that fit around it. NOTICE 1 I have used that special cover for multiple hours of...

I think you'll need to remove this when replacing the gimbal protector/cover...and the hood would probably need to be removed when replacing the drone in the flymore case...as the case is not designed to accommodate a sun/lens hood...

A 3D printed version is now available from MissCrissyCo through Etsy.com. Would be interesting to see a comparison between how well they provide blocking light from the side, as well as how well they 'protect' the gimbal. In any case, good to have options. I've ordered one of these 3D printed, and will compare it to the version off EBay when I have had a chance to try them both out...

I put one on mine for glare and protection. Not visible when the camera is set to either extreme. Works fine. No issues with operation.
I've had a problem with it catching the wind and causing the front to make a slight dive. Any others?

No not really. You can force it down in there but it’s not really ideal. I got a different carrier for mine.
Order from Amozon get it. In 3 days. I got lights ordered on ebay the beginning of April and delivery date is July. 27th.
