Quick one.... are gimbal protectors meant to be "worn" all the time or just when transporting the spark?   I noticed that in the user guide it mentions about "protect the gimbal at all times".

I only use mine when its in the bagpack!

Sir, I would recommend you use it when you need to transport the spark in the long-term trip. And it can protect the camera from collision. Thanks for your attention.

All times except when the Spark is powering/powered up.  I have forgotten to remove it a couple of times and a gimbal overload or overtemp message soon appears!!!

Take it off before turning on.  And put it back on after turning it off.

ok so short answer is "just when not in use".  thanks all.

Hi it is a good investment to protect the gimbal assembly. Looking at some of the first owners of SPARK, issues there are instances that the gimbal harware is affected, not sure but probably due to handling during shipping.

Transport and storage of the drone only!

Just when transporting. And make sure to take off the gimbal protector before turning on the Spark.
