Gimbal rubber band replacement

[Praetorian]

Replaced a rubber band and took Lots of photos. This isn't a tutorial, just Lots of picture inside a Mavic.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. As soon as i saw the gimble rubber bands of the Mavic i thought it was very delicate. This bought a confidence that It could be changed locally.

Thanks again. Have a great day!

Bought them from Thunderdrone here on Mavicpilots.... Search for him. Very nice guy to help you out.

Your welcome. After you get the gimbal dropped out you can replace the bands. You can see in my last picture where I have the pry tool holding it is where it broke.

Great post - very useful, thank you.

I've just checked the mounts on my brand new Mavic and I see what appear to be 4 mounts but only 3 are connected over the gimbal plate lugs. The one behind the cable running from the gimbal does not appear to be holding anything. Is this normal or should I try to prise the gimbal lug into the holder? If so, any suggestions?

Defenatly try to get it back on. You may experience a a tilt in your horizon if only 1 is off. They help prevent jello'ing in your video..

There is absolutely no reason for me to ever be inside of that thing. Wow worse than I thought it would be

I remember watching lot's of videos on YouTube, ( still do ) and one video by Edd Ricker showed him replacing rubber support's with a pair of tweezers.
