My gimbal cover broke while putting it on. I had no luck finding it anywhere to order. Any ideas where i can get one?
 
I have not seen any 3rd party ones yet but I am sure someone will 3D print them soon. Other then that let Autel know it broke and you need another. Knowing your from Germany I am not sure if you will have much luck with the USA branch of Autel.

Yeah, that's what i thought. Thanks. Doesn't matter, it's still in one part. I will fix it with some rubber bands until there is something i can get my hands on.
 
I have heard new drones are shipping with an updated cover, is that true?

and does it fit better with aftermarket filters attached?

My later built cover (which is different than the early ones) fits fine with the Skyreat filters on a 6K.

I also get this warning about you using skimlinks :confused:

I believe there is something wrong on your end. I don't get anything remotely similar to that on my end.

Edit: I did get the skimresources when hitting the link. I verified the link posted and it's corrected posted. I verified other links in different threads and it does not happen. Perhaps it's an alliexpress redirect?

for the most part, my cover fits fine as well. then one day when trying to get it off, it was stuck. I had to use a little bit extra force to get it off and I wasn't comfortable with doing that to the gimbal. I quickly realized it had more to do with forcing the cover on without taking care. I haven't use the gimbal since until I make sure it still fits ok because I had thoughts of cutting off the cover and the last thing I need is a problematic gimbal. the original cover has always been a pain for me to use and was hoping the new design would help.
 
We spoke directly to Autel yesterday about this because we've had a few clients with broken gimbal covers. Autel informed us that they are not available for sale at this time, and the best course of action would be for clients to contact Autel directly for a replacement; (844) 692-8835.
