Gimble Pin Missing?

[CFzone]

The pin that is holding the vibration isolator seems to be missing. I just noticed it when I was studying the gamble. Is it supposed to be like that, or is it really missing. If it is really missing, can you provide a link to the website where I can buy one?

Are you referring to the anti-drop pins? If so, you should only have 2 installed. Here's some more information from the P3S manual:

If you need to purchase more anti-drop pins, you can find them here on Amazon.

Does it really make that much of a difference? I have 3 out of the four pins installed, and it seems to be working fine.

It uses 2 because it reduces resonance, more than 2 may increase vibes and cause jello in footage.

I think that is right. Are you supposed to mount the pins diagonally, or another way?

diagonally

Thank you very much for helping

If all is working fine with 3 pins installed, then you could just keep it as-is. 2 pins are sufficient though.
