DJI Mavic 3 / 3T Gimbal Arm Axis Shaft

The gimbal on a Mavic 3 or Mavic 3T pivots on small metal shafts, and a hard landing can bend one just enough to make the camera stick, tilt or vibrate. This listing sells the shafts individually by position, so you only replace the one that's damaged.

Choose Front Left, Front Right or Rear Axis. Each option is listed for the DJI Mavic 3 and Mavic 3T at the same price. No maker is stated, so they're sold as aftermarket.

When a Mavic 3 gimbal shaft needs replacing

• The gimbal sticks, grinds or moves unevenly on one axis.

• A visibly bent or worn shaft after an impact.

• Gimbal errors or vibration that started after a crash.

Picking the position

Identify the damaged shaft by its location on the gimbal arm before ordering. If you're rebuilding a gimbal after a heavy crash, check all three positions; a bent shaft isn't always obvious until it's compared with a straight one.

After fitting, power the drone on a level surface, run a gimbal calibration and check for smooth movement through each axis. A straight shaft lets the Mavic 3 gimbal move freely and hold the camera level.
