"I was going to save [the gimbal lock] for air travel and the like, but didn't plan on using it for daily use. Am I being foolish to keep thing thing off?"
That's basically how I use it: on the (relatively rare) occasion that I fold up the Mavic for compact transport, the gimbal lock and the cover go back on. Otherwise they stay off.
When it isn't flying my Mavic spends about 99% of its time fully extended / unfolded sitting either on my desk or being transported on the floorboard of my car, and the gimbal lock doesn't seem to offer any benefit for those times. In fact, I'd guess that attaching and removing the gimbal lock over and over when there's no real need for it would be more likely to do harm instead of good. And to address another commenter's point, if I ever find myself braking / stopping so hard that my Mavic will be thrown around in the car, its gimbal is probably going to be the least of my worries. |
