    Gimbal anti-drop kit 2 or 4 pins

    Thanks Oso, will remove 2 out of 4 pins & use zip ties as suggested. Sure, I remove the pins int he same the video shows: slide the lock down, wait for few seconds and then pull the pin out.

    Gimbal anti-drop kit 2 or 4 pins

    My Gimbal mounting plate broke and when replacing the plate I attached 'all 4 pins' to the mounting plate. While reading the user manual I noticed the following recommendation which said 'mount them diagonally'. In some posts I saw people using 2 pins diagonally & wire ties for the other 2...

    P3 4k gimbal mount plate broke

    I just noticed exact item on newegg.com (Neewer for DJI Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 3 Advanced Quadcopter Camera Anti Vibration Shock Absorbing Board, Vibration Damping Plate, a Must for Beginners and Junior Users - Newegg.com). It is called 'Neewer for DJI Phantom 3 Professional and...

    P3 4k gimbal mount plate broke

    I ordered a mount plate from Amazon which said will fit P3 Prof & Adv, but did not say fits 4k version. The contour & holes match the 4k plate, except the 2 protrusions that go against sensor body are not in the new plate (see the 2 black shapes in pic below), but I guess it should be fine...

    P3 4k gimbal mount plate broke

    Thanks for all your suggestions, but the specific questions I am asking are - 1) Is the mounting plate same for Phantom 3 STD, Adv, Prof & 4k? 2) Did any of you change the plate on 4k and if yes, which plate you used and where did you buy it? As I explained, I did see listings on eBa & Amazon...

    P3 4k gimbal mount plate broke

    I only have 4k and don't know the difference. When I looked up online mount plates listing say either for 'Prof & Adv' or 'STD' making me assume they are different. 1 ebay seller when contacted said 'it is what the listing says and I can't guarantee it fits 4k'. And except for a couple of...

    P3 4k gimbal mount plate broke

    I fabricated a plate out of Plexiglass of same thickness as the plastic mounting plate and it installed nice: it is a bit more weight than the stock plate but fits exactly. I powered up the drone inside the house and the gimbal did its routine dance. 1st time in Camera view I got a warning...

    P3 4k gimbal mount plate broke

    yeah, no more crashing... I am learning and did not realize it takes some lag before direction change + speed also counts: still trying to get used to the controls & the drone behavior. Anyway, is there a difference in mounting plate between P3 4k & Prof, Adv, STD? Because online mostly...

    P3 4k gimbal mount plate broke

    I crashed my Phantom 3 4k on my 2nd flight, after buying it used 3 days ago. Gimbal is dangling because the 'X' shaped mount plate broke & both cables came off. I plugged the cables back. The seller gave extra plastic bumpers, but I can't find a mounting plate for sale online for 4k model. I...
