PAYLOAD MOUNTING BRACKET REPLACEMENT

The gimbal brackets can be easily replaced in the field; however, the black silicone gimbal dampers 

cannot. If the dampers need to be replaced or serviced,  please contact Teal Drone Customer Support or 

an authorized service center.

REPLACEMENT 

INSTRUCTIONS

Place the drone on its back on a table or workspace where the antenna can 

hang off the edge to prevent being damaged.
Make sure that the camera data cable and gimbal motor cable are not 

strained in any way.
Remove the two (2) M3 x 8mm screws on the gimbal brackets using a T8 

Torx screwdriver.

Tools Needed: 

One (1) T8 Torx Screwdriver

Removal: 

Two (2) M3 x 8mm Screws 

Set the screws aside for re-use.

Use your fingers or plastic pliers that will not 

damage the silicone damper to hold the body of 

one of the front dampers in place (as shown in 

the image to the right).

 

Firmly, but slowly, pull the bracket away from the 

damper body until the end of the damper pulls 

through the hole.

Follow the same directions to remove the rear 

damper (as shown in the image to the right). 

Remove the remaining dampers.

Set the new bracket so that the recesses for the 

screw head and dampers are visible and away 

from the body of the drone (as shown in the 

image to the right).

Manually move the gimbal pitch and roll axis and check for binding or obstructions.
Ensure that no wires are pinched.
Power on the system and confirm the gimbal properly functions and is properly oriented.
