This is a nice thought, however I had one of these on my P2V and after my first crash landing it bent the gimbal arm and stripped the screws out of the back. The whole Assy was junk after words. I'm not sure but I think it was a wast of mo eye for me. All though i did feel very protected until I crashed. From a low altitude I might add.

Had it installed, but my gimbal broke just above the gimbal saver. Wasn't worth it in my case but as far as quality and manufacturing goes its a top notch part.

Great video. Lots cheaper than a new gimbal, and certainly cheaper than a $60k CNC machine that makes these parts.
@rogerpowell36738 жыл бұрын
CNC machining & set up to make a part is not cheap. I can see where this metal piece adds strength over the factory stock piece, but, the rest of the components beinbg plastic, haven't you just moved the weak point to another location?I wish that announcer had explained in a more detail how this new piece adds safety in a crash, or is it just effective in hard landings?

I had a hard landing and the camera flew off the gimbal and tore the ribbon cable. A hobby shop installed the new gimbal cable but said the needed a special tool to firmly attach the camera to the gimbal. Do I need to take it someplace to re attach the camera or can I do it myself and how do I do it

doest it fits in the phantom 3 standard gimbal ? doest it really helps i mean i never land hard , may bey if you crash but i think that this is not going to help in crashes . what do you think ?

+GTDrone You obviously don't know how the gimble is assembled and what holds it together
@gtdrone218 жыл бұрын
Sam Jackson i know it but most of the times i fly over 50 meters of altitude , i think that this gimbal saver dont help if you crash at that altitude , may be if you crash near to the ground or something like that , also i never land that fast the phantom 3 is really stable and as soon you stop the descending throttle the quad stops , may be is for older phantoms or people that fly near to the ground or use the phantom for racing or flying in dangerous areas

+GTDrone see height doesn't matter. the magnetic hold the gimbal uses WILL hold and not fail with this part. You are more saving a ribbon cable than the gimble. Remember height doesn't change force when falling from any height over about 60ft. A drone falling from 80ft hits the same as one from 1200ft.

+GTDrone Terminal Velocity. That's the main idea here. Most think if you fall higher you fall faster exponentially but that's just common ignorance. This product is proven and on paper as well as application, helps a whole lot.

+GTDrone I would bet a paycheck that if you drop from 150ft your gimbal will fail in itself far before the mounts. That's the point of this part.

The gimbal and camera housing all are made of plastic.. normally any drones from from 100 or even 50 meters high will surely break the legs and gimbal into pieces. no way this gimbal saver will do any help. I have seen many drones falling and the drone is gone into pieces.. the camera broke into pieces since its made of hard plastic material. not iron or silver.

@dlaroc8 жыл бұрын
This is not worth it imo. Your gimbal can still break with it on, so might as well not waste money on it. Now if it prevented gimbal breaking completely, then yea it would be worth it.
