Gimbal + metal shavings??

brianuc4 · Nov 9, 2017

I've been having video feed issues lately and decided to take the gimbal off for an inspection. There appears to be tiny metal shavings on all 4 rubber dampers. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen?

Did you use a magnet to check that it's metal?
Remove the rubber first though

I think everyone concluded it was from the aluminum inserts that hold the gimbal/screws...

No I didn't but I've worked with metal and these definitely looked like shavings. I just ended up blowing off the gimbal and rubber and reinstalling it.
