I am traveling for a few months and am currently in Philippines

so I only have these choices

gimbal DJI Mavic Pro - Buy gimbal DJI Mavic Pro at Best Price in the Philippines | www.lazada.com.ph

what would you get?

my primary choice for now
Sun Shade Lens Hood Glare Gimbal Camera Protector Cover For DJI Mavic Pro Drone Black - intl

camera gimbal is the most fragile mechanism on this aircraft - I wish there was a very strong protector - even if it needed to be screwed into existing screws ... and even if compromised FOV in extreme angles / hard turns - which should not be made when filming ...

I have the standard grey one and grinded where needed to avoid the obstructions.

It's useful for orefenting flares, but not offering much in terms of protection.
The gimbal doesn't need to be touched by external stuff to break when crashing anyway though.
