As we were on the subject of drones in the last post, i thought i’d share a quick DIY tip with you all!

Now, at £5.99, the silicone protectors available on Amazon aren’t exactly expensive. But, if you’re in need of a quick fix after transferring your drone to a camera bag, here is a super tip for making your own, quickly, out of stuff you’ll probably have lying around the house.

Now, you’ll have something like this lying around the house, right?

You stinker!

Borrow the lids from these cans. You’ll obviously need four.

Next, find something soft to pad out the inside of the lids with. I used the sticky soft things that you stick under table and chair legs that are available at Ikea and DIY stores.

I hope the Mrs doesn’t need these things!

Easy, quick and cheap!

…and Rob’s your dad’s brother!
