I bought a Qiyun Dji Phantom 3 Advanced Gimbal Lock and Lens Cover, and I'm not wild about the fit.  It seems a little short, and has to be forced on.  I don't like the apparent strain it seems to apply to the Gimbal mechanism, in order to engage it in the camera body slot.  

The photo here, is borrowed from their Amazon ad, my camera is pulled up.  Opinions?  Thanks,

Ill stay away based on your review.

The factory support has no lens cover, and is a bit difficult to install and remove, but with practice, it's not too bad, I'll probably go back to it.

Hi, I bought the Shapeway 3D printed Gimbal Lock as well as the Lens Petal v2 for $46.98 - this included shipping to South Africa. Both work very well, easy to attach and detach.

Thanks, that's a lot of money, with shipping.  I'm thinking I'll just stick with the factory version, and maybe fabricate a lens cover.
