Slight play in rear left arm of new Mavic

[ayoldguy1]

Hi, I recently got a Mavic and I noticed that the rear left arm has some slight up and down play when folded, maybe a few millimeters or a quarter inch. It's tight side to side when folded (not wiggling outward from body) and is nice and tight when unfolded. Flight seems normal unaffected. Anyone else notice this?
Thanks.

Folded play is not a problem. If it overextends when the arms are unfolded, that could be a problem.

Watch out for this on your rear arm, if it starts cracking, you need to replace the part.

Thanks. Everything seems rock solid except for the slight folded play. I'll keep an eye out for the issue you raised. Does that just happen or is that cracking usually result of a crash?

Result of a crash or hard landing.
