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
