Has anyone experienced gimbal wear or failure from using lens hoods?
I bought a short round one. http://peauproductions.com/store/index. ... cts_id=708
And the petal style. http://peauproductions.com/store/index. ... cts_id=703
They are not super heavy but obviously throw balance completely forward. I placed it on after turning on phantom since there is not enough room for gimbal to run through its start up motions.
The gimbal made no noise or weird behavior once it was on. The flight went well.
Side note: In my rush to test them, I took the P2 out even though K-index was at 4. It definitely affected GPS flight. Drifting more than usual even though I had 10+ satellites.
