What is this piece for?

So i have unfortunately flown into a hard surface known as the side of my house.

Upon first inspection - only a few scratches. Gimbal still works fine however it seemed more lose than before.

So - I started poking around and noticed there is an L-Shaped bracket below the gimbal (if your Mavic is held upside down) that is broken off. (i have attached 2 pictures of the bracket before it is not broken)

I was wondering if anyone knows what this is for.? VIdeos all shoot fine and pictures too. I wrote to DJI but they have said i need to send the Mavic to Hong Kong for fixing as the local store has Zero idea of what its for.

IT must be for something and i dont want to continually use my Mavic its an important piece of the puzzle.

That piece helps keep the gimbal from vibrating, and falling off during flight.

I make those, as well as the gimbal bracket.

Hi Gray52 - how do i get one from you? and is it easy to install? (i would rather not un-assemble the entire MAVIC o get to the part

You would need to open her up as that clip is screwed in from the inside thereby voiding your warranty.. It's like a bump stop preventing the gimbal from exerting too much strain on the rubber supports in the event of large or sudden movements of the Mavic.
