As always, I generally don't recommend specific sellers, as I just buy at best price on the day and suggest you do the same, but search details etc are below to help you find bits.

PART 3 Phantom 3 tips - Gimbal camera protection - plates and locks

- Gimbal protection plate search ebay for "Phantom 3 Gimbal protection" - I paid £3.99 delivered for the plate with white gimbal lock and lens shade.

- Gimbal locks, cheap white one from ebay search 'Phantom 3 gimbal lock' they are about a pound
- The orange version I do feel is worth paying the extra for, its from Mike ebay seller droningon I paid £23.99 delivered, search ebay "flexible lens cap gimbal lock phantom 3" - be careful as I have seen some cheaper versions using flexible in title which clearly are hard plastic - so I would be very cautious buying anywhere else if you want the flexible type!
