I would of thought adding bolts could cause more damage, in a crash, it might be better for items to detach keeping damage more localised. The camera might be salvaged if it comes off easily, but could be destroyed if still attached to copter, and probably some of the copter too.
So you feel your landing hard? Everyone has a bumpy landing once in a while, try landing with smooth gentle inputs to the stick, even turn down the speed on the slider, just be positive if you feel it's not going to land as you want, then shoot it back up and have another go, with practice this all becomes second nature, you feel like your in control.
Yes I have, no issues for the last year. do "nut" tighten, they are just loose enough for the gimble to work properly
Thanks for the advice. It was not hard enough to bounce but gimbal mounts stretched in the two unsupported corners.
I used 3mm bolts with the 3mm lock nuts like you show here. I tightened it to allow the same flex that the 2 stock bolts have. It has equal flex on all four corners. Still dampens shock as it is supposed to. Any down force is shared on four corners, not two.
As time has passed I've progressively hand caught my TH more and more. At first I almost excursively landed it on the ground and, although I say it myself, was pretty darn good at it...only hand catching if the ground around me was particularly rough/dusty or if it was gusty wind. Looking at my log book, though, I've noticed a trend towards hand catching but still leaning towards landing on the ground in the majority of cases. However, this last few months I'm now almost exclusively hand catching. As my experience of the TH matures, then, I now realize that hand catching is so much less hassle.
