On slight windy days as the NEO tries to compensate and adjust to maintain a level lift / flight path), I noticed in ROCKET MODE (camera / gimbal tilted a full 90-degrees downward), that the video image will capture an "edge shadow frame" (aka - vignette effect) from the rear portion of the gimbal bumper guard (accessory attachment). Obviously I can remove the bumper guard and the problem is solved. I was wondering if anybody experienced the same situation or can suggest a "better" (interference free) Gimbal Frame Guard ? I gather the thickness of the Gimbal Frame and location above the existing attachment screws (frame) is enough protrusion for the camera to capture as the NEO wobbles up and down ?

Update ~ I took the NEO on a holiday vacation (Mexico ~ Elevation 8K ft). Wind conditions were 3-6 MPH. The “Plastic” design (snap on) worked well without edge guard interference (Vignette) in Rocket Mide . My only gripe with the “Plastic” version is the clearance (direct line of site) between the upper frame guards (against) near the forward Function Button. I can’t have it all ….
