Taranis M7/M9 Gimbal Protector That Does Not Fall Off

thingiverse

This is the best Taranis hall effect gimbal protector that you can ever find! Why? Because it DOES NOT FALL OFF! And it looks cool. Sort of. I used the fact that gimbal sticks can be moved around to lock the protector in place. It will stay attached until you unlock it by moving the stick to the right or left most position. Downsides: 1. It is only known to work with M9 and M7 gimbals that have flat face plates. 2. You have to measure your gimbals and use the Customizer app (use Open in Customizer link at the right top side of this page) to create your custom version of this protector that you will need to print. The protector locks on the bottom side of the gimbal stick end, which is at a different height for every pilot. Different stick ends have different diameters, so there is no "one size fits all" here. But hey, there are only five measurements to make (look at the pictures), and then the Customizer will generate your personal gimbal protector. You can even make two different versions if you prefer one of the sticks to be shorter than the other. I made a video to present the benefits of this gimbal protector (it does not fall off) 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, please consider posting a make. I enjoy seeing things I designed 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).
