Gluing the shaft back again in the gimbal?

[rdewet]

I've seen several references about fixing a detached camera by gluing the shaft back in place.
I've spent a while searing the forums but can't find it.
Anyone be kind enough to post a link to this please?
Or a Youtube vid?
Thanks!

Assuming there is not any wear to the shaft or the hole, it shouldn't be glued.
The silver cup that's mounted in your roll arm has a magnetic ring (visual in your pic.).
If you press the parts together, the shaft fits snugly into the hole in the center of the cup, and the magnet holds the cup over the roll motor armature very strong.
Caution though.
There is a correct position for the roll motor before assembly, so that the camera is level, so research that too!

Thank you!
Wasn't aware of that.
You just saved a disaster of epoxy resin proportions!
