Yeah, do. It is frustrating, but it's very well made and once you get the hang of it you'll realise how good it is.Thanks Numone,
Yes, that's the one.
I'll give the original one another go.
It's like trying to work out one of those Chinese puzzles to me !
Once mounted properly, or before removal, draw arrows and labels of front and back and left and right and top and bottom with a thin black permanent marker on the clear plastic, to make it easier. That's what I had to do! The newer gimbal protector, used exclusively on the P4/P4P, is much easier and more obvious.Yeah, do. It is frustrating, but it's very well made and once you get the hang of it you'll realise how good it is.
I got this through aliexpress and it is ok. I performed a little change.Other proposals.
I have the opposite opinion.I tried multiple gimbal protector alternatives to the original, and always found that the mounting or removal of each required so much pressure that damage to the delicate gimbal was almost assured with repeated use. The stock gimbal protector, once properly inserted, slides out easily, with no stress at all to the gimbal. It's worth learning to use it properly.
It has more surfaces, but they are smooth, and not based upon forcing a piece of plastic over the lens, but underneath the lens. Each to their own. The hardest part for me originally was figuring out how to get it back on in the correct orientation. Once you get that right, it does a really good job.Especially outside is horrible manipulation of the original holder. It has more friction surfaces = more power to deploy.
I have and use the Neewar lens cap/gimbal protector you are talking about and it works great! Fits perfectly, easy to put on and protects the gimbal. What more can you ask for!
Got mine at Amazon.ca - CanadaI can't ask for anything more but; 'Where d'ya get it' ?
The only places I can find want over $35 shipping. The item itself is only a few $$$.
