Securing the camera gimbal after flying?

[NJ-Phantom3Pro]

When done flying for the day, do you secure the camera gimbal before transporting your drone back home?

most of the time i do. Some times if i am moving a short distance in the car I do not.
I always secure the camera when i put the bird in the case.

I always secure the gimbal before moving the bird from the launch/landing pad.

Putting that [expletive] thing back on is one of the most difficult things about flying a Phantom.

Never. I just set drone down in its box - the original egg carton one it shipped in 2 yrs ago. In center gimbal area I put wad of soft foam wrapping. It fully supports the camera, even on hi speed wild golf cart rides over rough terrain.

Install mine every time I'm done flying & camera lens cover also .

That's why I bought these.

I always put mine on befire and after the flight. Even for a 2 min walk. Cheap price for protecting an expensive drone

I use the same one as KennyJr. http://amzn.to/2dSc2Yz. Not sure why it comes as a set of two but whatever. When my bird arrived and I pulled it out of its crate...the dang gimbal lock was at the bottom of the box. It wasn't obvious to me how to put it on so I purchased one that was easy to use. I always lock the gimbal.
