Shaking when transporting

[Red_Pyro]

Hello,

Do any of you have some experience carrying the drone while biking? I want to take my mp3 with me in the alps while mountainbing, but while I won't be doing any downhill it may get shaky when being carried in the backpack.

When the drone is stored with the gimbal guard and locked with the little plastic part that you receive when it's shipped, is there any kind of threshold ? Or is the gimbal locked in some safe mode ?

Thanks

The guard protects the gimbal and camera from knocks that may damage it. There isn't a "brake" that holds it when off, just the natural resistance of the motors to movement when off. Although that's so weak you can jiggle the gimbal just by shaking the drone. You should be fine. Your drone survived shipping from the factory. If you have seen how delivery people handle boxes, you know that your drone will survive the shakes on it's ride in your backpack.

As long as the gimbal protector stays in place, you should be able to do what you describe. If you tumble off the bike and end up on the ground, that could be a bit more of a concern. There were some small cases for drone only applications that were available in the past for DJI products that you may want to consider.

I carry an Air 2 on my motorcycle in the back trunk in its own case and it gets beat up on the local roads and no issues!

I use the gimbal protector and my Mini 3 Pro gets shaken pretty heavily when I travel with my adventure motorcycle off road. Haven't had any problems.

Says the member whose PFP looks like he is the last survivor of an all-out Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical War…

That gave us kids real nightmares...

Come on man my PFP is from a psychopathic pyromaniac mercenary, how is that scary.

Nah… You're right, how could that be scary…

The hanging gimbal design on all other DJI drones is rather delicate.

The gimbal design on the Mini 3(P) is tough as a Grizzly Bear. The arm attaching on both sides make a ginormous² × googolplex difference. Don't worry about it.

Makes sense
