Taranis M7/M9 Gimbal Protector That Does Not Fall Off

thingiverse

This is the ultimate Taranis hall effect gimbal protector you'll ever find! It's a game-changer because it simply does not fall off, and to top it off, it looks pretty cool too. I mean, who doesn't love something that stays put? I took advantage of the fact that gimbal sticks can be moved around to create a locking mechanism for the protector. Once you've got it locked in place, it'll stay attached until you deliberately unlock it by moving the stick to its right or left most position. There are some downsides to this incredible gimbal protector: 1. It only works with M9 and M7 gimbals that have flat face plates. 2. You'll need to measure your gimbals and use the Customizer app (just click on the "Open in Customizer" link at the top right of this page) to create a custom version that you can print. The protector locks onto the bottom side of the gimbal stick end, which is at a different height for every pilot. And because different stick ends have different diameters, there's no one-size-fits-all solution here. But don't worry – it's only five measurements to make (check out the pictures), and then the Customizer will generate your very own gimbal protector. You can even create two different versions if you prefer one of the sticks to be shorter than the other. I made a video to show off the benefits of this amazing gimbal protector (it doesn't fall off, remember?) and explain how to do the measurements: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Gwo8Iub4PBs" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> If you print these out, please consider posting a make. I love seeing things I designed in action out in the wild. The idea of using the stick to lock the protector in place comes from [Gimbal Protector by arturoanoni](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3109514).
