Finding replacement low mode pin for Ultra1 gimbal F-bracket

What the thread found

  • The Ultra1 gimbal requires a specific pin to lock the old-type F-bracket in low mode position
  • The pin is located off-center in the gimbal socket and secures the arm post
  • Some Ultra1 gimbal kits came with an unmarked screw whose purpose was unclear until identified by technical support
  • Different low mode bracket variants may use different fastening mechanisms
  • Technical support at the gimbal manufacturer can provide missing hardware or specifications for fabrication

Depends on

  • Thread size and exact specifications were not definitively determined in the discussion
  • The screw pitch could not be accurately measured using metric tools to convert to inch specifications
  • The discussion involved only one or two example units and their specific configurations
