Perfect lens cap for P3P & P3A

[JohnnyG]

I just found that a top from a Walmart Equate Naproxen 100 caplets will work perfectly for a Phantom 3 lens cover. Check out the photos attached.

Nice find Johnny !!!

Nice! Although I still think its worth spending a little on a proper one (ideally with a gimbal clamp built in). I have one of these and love it:

So what did you search on in eBay? I searched cap with gimbal lock and did not find anything.

On the YouTube page there is a link to an ebay item: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flexible-lens-cover-and-gimbal-clamp-for-DJI-Phantom-3-/161715349212?

I like the idea of bracing the landing gear - it doesn't interfere with the sensors on the undercarraige?

No. I made sure there was plenty of space from all other flight items.

Thank you very much!! Now I won't have to order one from China! Cheers.

the flexible looks nice but $52 shipping included is just way too much i think, please someone in the US make one flexible too!

I just bought this lens cap/gimball lock and gimbal guard combo for $22.

Same here. Last night it was $22.00, including shipping. Remains to be seen what I will finally receive and how well it works. I think I might be getting a red flag as well

I'd be worried about the hard plastic scratching the lens, i use the same one as Scifictus and recommend it. It feels like rubber although still very sturdy.

I believe it comes with a lens cap which is installed first, then the holder goes over it. I could be wrong but will find out when it arrives.

The lens cap is not hard plastic only the new gimbal lock. The lens cap and hood are both Ninjaflex. Very flexible rubber like material.
Thanks,

You are correct. The cap or hood goes on first or inside the gimbal lock itself. Works great.

Just ordered a set. Thanks.
