portside alone, the silvery metal cylinders rotating props incurred tiny impingements (foliage incident) which might result rotational imbalance. no errors. flights are as expected. concern is just how imbalanced it is. Remove props and overspeed motors check vibration?
how to baseline vibrations? just compare arm to arm vibration sensations?
 
Foliage incidents are always a cause for concern.

But yes - spin them up without props and check for vibration.
Okay, their function is to permit grasp during prop disengage engage routine, so forged flyweight non-tempered aluminum, easily impingeable by foliage incident although hard to understand why since props envelope a circular barrier spinning, how could impingements access this canning at all?

Yes but first disassemble the gimbal
