Question: Are Gimbal Protective Guards really worth it?

I crashed my Avata 2 and broke the little legs on the upper gimbal frame that link into the rubber bumpers for stabilization, so I had to send the drone to DJI to be repaired. I have been seeing on eBay guards like this and people who swear over them but when I look at the picture they don’t protrude that much more than the plastic ones that come with the drone’s frame. Are they really worth installing?

Waterproof my drone

Edit more info: 'm going to costarica to the jungle that's why i'm pushing a bit the kind of waterproof and flying at sea etc ;)

Hi! I'm trying to waterproof my avata 2. I'll be flying really soon close to water (yes , i know the risks of flying close to water...)

First i want to print with my 3d printer some kind of landing feets but bigger and empty inside so it floates. I've seen people using ago a go pro plastic yellow thing that makes it float, wondering how to adapt this to the drone too?

Does anyone has the avata 2 3d model to scale?

Then if i really take it for a swim i've been seing people waterproofing drones with coated silicon. I haven't seen anyone actually doing with an avata 2.

Anyone has some info on how to properly do this? Links, videos, etc... Thanks community :)

Is this the bumpers or the gimbal frame that broke?

I hit my Avata2 and now the gimbal is loose. When I look inside I see the bumpers are disconnected from the frame, but I don’t know if is the bumpers that broke or the actual gimbal frame. Can anyone shed some light on?

Avata2 strange behavior after crash

Hello everyone.

I had two minor accidents with my Avata2, but they were both very similar. I clipped a bush and the drone started to wobble. It didn't recover and drifted 100 to 150 feet before finally crashing.

Unfortunately, in both cases, direct visual contact was not established quickly enough.

During this time, the drone is unmaneuverable and does not respond to controls or hover.

What causes this drifting?

Furthermore, after today's accident, I've noticed a kind of metallic rattling coming from one of the motors when I turn it over.

I briefly took it off again, but I didn't notice any unusual behavior.

Can someone tell me what all happened there?
