Currently almost finished with a M2P repair. Both right-side arms replaced, front sensor casing, top casing, etc.
However, I am a bit stuck on the gimbal roll arm. I’ve attached some photos.
The right side of the gimbal roll arm has ~3mm of space to the camera. The strange thing here is that the roll arm has no signs of impact and the camera moves freely up and down the roll arm (stopping at the exact points as my other M2P).
The only thing I can think of is that the roll arm warped somehow but again, no signs of impact at all.
I could replace it, costs $40 for the roll arm part, but I’m curious if this is even necessary?
It’s also a bit tricky to remove the roll arm. Two plates cover left and right sides of the roll arm but I don’t think you can take off the camera this way (there’s a cable running through it).
Curious what you guys think?
Maybe even a clamp to squeeze the tolerance back to where it was? Maybe not worth it to mess with the gimbal at all...
