Fits over joysticks and has holes for buttons. What the heck is it for? Shipping protector?

I forgot to mention, it came in the Fly More bundle.
 
Good device.

It protects the sticks and the screen when you shove the controller in a back pack or something like that.
 
It is a shipping/storing protector. It is very useful if you need to cram the RC in a tight spot like the FMC bag.

EDIT: If this is what you are referring to.

Thanks, that's it! Seems kind of useless since the joysticks can be unscrewed and stowed in the controller body. But I guess if you get tired of removing and replacing them it can be a help.
 
I would prefer the cover in lieu of dropping and losing them.
Does anyone have the stl file or must the cover be purchased? I don't see the red version in my searches.
 
I did not get one when I ordered the fly-more kit. But I did purchase it on my own - black version. I've now got a larger version for the Smart Controller (pygtech) and you don't have to mess with the sticks, and it protects the potentially fragile 5-d button and also the screen. Even with it on my SC, I was able to pack the Zoom, two extra batteries and the smart controller into that skimpy fly-more bag.

Neither did I. Mine was an unexpected extra that came with the tablet holder I bought separately.
 
For the stl file, just go to Thingiverse and type in "Mavic Pro Joystick" in the search. You'll find more variations than you want.
Got the stl file and sent it to my local library for printing...but the person who does it will be out till next Wednesday.
 
Is there an aftermarket version of this device?
yes, several, look on ebay. Also for the Mavic 2 controller to save you have to take off the sticks and protecting them from being jammed into a position in your bag. Been out for years, these things. They may be called controller stick protectors.
