Powered up the drone twice now with gimble lock on!!!????

That should work.

Take the end of your remove before flight ribbon and put a piece of Velcro on it. Then put the opposite piece of Velcro above battery button . So now the ribbon is going under the camera to the back covering the battery button.

Yeah, the reason I went with these same ones that I posted earlier from Amazon, I paid a little more and got them fast. I bought stuff before off of eBay directly (orgin) from China for cheap, but I waited nearly a month for it to arrive to the east coast. Not to say it is always that way. It is just a drag when your stuff is put on the slow boat from China when you want it yesterday. Maybe Customs adds to the delay.

 

[577-Jersey]

Thats the problem,you want the slow boat or fast jet
I actually got some stuff from China in under 10 days.You have to look at the shipping info and feedback.

I feel like such an a$$,i powered up the drone now twice with the lock on.
The camera seems to be working fine,maybe a little choppy while panning up and down but not sure if I damaged anything.
Feel like such an idiot,but I get real forgetful on these things.

Hope somebody can reassure me.

The gimble checks out ok during the test.

I did once then I taped a foot long piece of bright orange barricade tape on it. That was the fix for me

My pet peeve is forgetting to activate movie mode

 

[ACJunior]

That was the ONE thing I kept doing when I bought the XSP. No damage but to prevent any potential issues - and to remind my absent minded self, I quick found this JPG online, printed and I put this on..looks bad now, tape is coming loose - tacky yet effective.
BUT I actually like the ribbon idea much better 577-Jersey..nice!

I've created a checklist and taped it to the inside of the case; "remove gimbal lock" is #1 on the list.

Tom, if you feel like an idiot, then welcome to the idiot club of which I am president, by the way. I have done that many times.

 

[Dave Corbett]

I found these on Amazon...

 

[Old Bama Dude]

Homemade dummy reminder. Even then I still did it once, maybe I need to make it ten times bigger.

I Just got one for a whopping 70 cents on ebay. Of course it will take a month to get here from China.
