DJI Mavic 3 Series Gimbal Vibration Damper Board

Footage from a Mavic 3's Hasselblad camera should look smooth even at long focal lengths. When it starts showing jello or fine shaking, the gimbal's vibration damper board is a common culprit, especially after a hard landing that cracks or bends it.

This gimbal vibration shock-absorbing board is listed for the DJI Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Cine and Mavic 3 Classic. It's sold as aftermarket, as the listing gives no maker.

Narrowing down Mavic 3 vibration

1. Fit a fresh set of propellers; chipped or bent blades cause similar symptoms.

2. Calibrate the gimbal on a level surface.

3. With the drone off, look for a cracked or deformed board and worn dampers.

4. Check the gimbal doesn't touch the body anywhere as it moves.

Fitting the board

Note how each damper sits before removing the old board. Seat the dampers fully on the new one, and protect the gimbal flex cables throughout.

Calibrate the gimbal afterward and record a hover clip, zooming in if your model has a telephoto camera, to confirm the shake is gone.
