Hi there is a plastic piece which prevents the metal base of the gimball from going too far that broke on a light crash. The bird is fine and flies and camera works.

See pictures of before and after you will see the broken piece..

What effects should I expect and is it worth it to send to fix?

Looks like it shifted. I did see somewhere on the net someone is offering the plastic part in metal.
Can you re-align it under the tab or has parts broken off it?

The plastic part broke and I could not find the missing part. It broke right at the bend which looks like it is there to stop the metal base of the gimbal.. could you send me that place for the metal part? Thx

It looks like a stop to prevent the dynamic/moving base plate from stretching down further than the the stop. Without it, presumably, on a hard landing the camera and base plate would stretch further than the stop, possibly damaging the ribbon cable or snapping the rubber vibration isolators. Just a guess, though.
