So I bought this gimbal guard from Amazon Amazon.com: Hobbypower Camera Lens Cover Cap + Sun Hood + CF Gimbal Guard for DJI Phantom 3 PRO & Advanced: Toys & Games. If arrived today and although it seems well made and installs easily, it's positioning under the gimbal is definitely problematic. Specifically the gimbal contacts the guard while the gimbal is doing its start-up dance, and presumably could make contact during certain maneuvers in flight. For this reason, I'm probably not going to be using it (at least without modification).
I just don't get why it would be designed this way. The guard looks just like all the other guards for sale and they seem to be popular among Phantom owners. The concept seems like a good one. Do people just not care about the gimbal contacting the guard? Maybe they don't notice?
