NO back left leg slips out during flight

[BanksAJ]

So after a couple of crashes, the back left leg on my mavic pro slips out of its housing by about 3 to 4 mm during flight.

Does any one have any links to how to videos or articles on how to sort this problem out. I'm in Zimbabwe Africa and there are no real options to order parts or send to a repair shop or DJI care.

Much appreciated

To my knowledge it does nothing? Just glue it back??
Before you do that though!! Lets seek the knowledge of an expert in @Thunderdrones

Can you post a picture of it in its fully loose position? That is one thing I dont mess with, structural integrity. It can affect your thrust line and make the drone fly erratically, not to mention it could possibly just come completely out and dangle by the wires. That wouldnt be pretty.

As @Simmo said, if you insist on flying, glue it on tape it on, or rubber band it on. It wont be safe, but at least you'll get your shots.

OMG!!! I thought you meant LEG, like a leg you stand on......
A Mavic has Antennas in its front LEGS, but its back LEGS, are nothing more than plastic stands.....
This is what I thought you were on about!
Your photo shows the complete rear ARM, which has props attached!!!
No, dont use my advice and glue it back on!!!!
It needs to be fixed properly!

Your end tab looks like it's broken off. This happens when the rear arm overrotates and sometimes takes the top tab with it.

OP take a look at this tab circled in red and make sure there are no cracks in it. I am guessing that its broken as well.

A very big thank you Thunderdrones. I'll get looking and revert.

Any idea on how to fix the metal tab you highlighted in yellow

You cant repair it, you have to replace the inner axis. You can find one here.They are not expensive, but they take forever to arrive from China. If you need to get flying sooner than 3 weeks, you can always look for the whole component. Make sure you choose the correct one.

So ended up gluing with rubber epoxy glue and it seems to be holding well and folding correctly. Feels good. Sensors swapped out. Camera swapped out. Front leg sorted. Just left to calibrate everything before I fly. Any pointers on how to calibrate my mavic pro?
