What part is this and what does it do?

Today's quiz. What part is this and what does it do? Its inside of every Mavic.

Thats the IMU "Inertial Measurement Unit" that is suspended using rubber dampers to isolate vibrations from the motors.

An IMU, or inertial measurement unit, is an electronic device that measures and reports an object's specific force, angular velocity and attitude (including its course angle, pitch angle, and roll angle) using data from an accelerometer, gyroscope, thermometer, and barometer.

That exact part is not within every Mavic. That exact part is only present in the Mavic 2 Pro and Mavic 2 Zoom.

Every Mavic does have an IMU though that varies by model.
