Guys,
I'd like to request assistance as I've received the Mk.III electronics upgrade kit: however, the upper right corner of the PCB is chipped away, near the mounting hole.
I couldn't find the missing piece inside the plastic bag or nowhere inside the whole package, and I will contact Support in case it's needed.
In the meantime, I'd like to ask if you consider it safe to install; that mounting hole wouldn't be used anyway but I am concerned about the condition of the PCB.
Thank you for any useful input.
Mk.III chipped PCB corner - safe to install?

Re: Mk.III chipped PCB corner - safe to install?
Mine was like that too.
There's no traces up there, and no screw needs to go thru that hole. I installed and had zero issues. The rest of the board is undoubtedly fine - you'd see an obvious crease line if the whole board had been deformed or slashed enough to damage traces, and your external components look in good condition.
I almost wonder if that's intentionally "clipped off" after manufacturing, like they realized there was some tiny possibility of interference with gimbal movement and just took snips to it rather than re-lay-out and re-manufacture them all.

Re: Mk.III chipped PCB corner - safe to install?
I've got 2 upgrade kits and both PCBs were like that too.
No issues with the install (mk.1 to mk.3) other than one of the screws for the PCB bumping into the top plate when installed. I just omitted it.
