New to my P3A. Two of the white rubber shock absorbers have clear plastic top and bottom. Two of them don't have it (but I noticed two replacements are in accessory bag). Pic below (not my bird) kind of shows what I'm talking about. Should they be on all four absorbers?

Thanks!

Could cause some camera jitters- designed for only two-- one on opposite corners-- if you start seeing jello or jitters-- take two off.
 
And there is a removal method that doesn't require cutting the clip off if you choose to remove two of them.

And this method is what ?
 
Press the disc further onto the shaft of the pin and leave it sit for a few minutes. Then pull it off very fast. Since it was slightly flexed open, it will pull over the tip. It took me a few trys, but it does work!

Only two. The purpose of these anti-drop pins (as well as the fact that only two are needed/recommended) is described in the manual.

Thanks for the clarification.
