Gimbal Cushion Pins

[Joe Vibbert]

Am a Nubee, so this may seem simple, but every pic I see shows only 2 of the gimble cushion mounting pins in place.
Interested in the reason and if there is anything fouI with using all 4.

The pins are just there to make sure the gimbal doesn't come off. I always assumed they only use two because four might take away from some of that cushion and you might get vibrations. You can run a couple zip ties loosely through the other two if you wanted additional support.

When assembling I mounted the other 2 and now am wondering if I should remove them.

This would be better. In the event of a crash,,

They are a pain to get off, I'd just leave it if they don't cause any problems..

My advice would be to remove the two anti drop pins you added and replace them with loosely fitted zip ties. Having all 4 pins in place increases the chances of jello or other vibration related issues in your video.

The pins aren't too hard to remove and you can still save them as extras.

Also Joe, if you are interested click here for several tips that I often share with new P3P/P3A owners. One of the tips is about 2 vs 4 anti drop pins.

Good luck sir!
