DJI Matrice 400 Gimbal Damper
Vibration isolation for the Matrice 400's single, dual, and third gimbal mounts, absorbing airframe vibration before it reaches sensitive imaging sensors and LiDAR payloads. High-elasticity silicone construction, tuned specifically to the Matrice 400's airframe frequency.
Payload Capacity and Lifespan, by Mounting Position
Lifespan depends on how much weight is riding on each damper, confirmed directly from DJI's own specification:
| Gimbal Position | Max Payload | Standard Lifespan | Reduced Lifespan Trigger |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single downward | 1,400g | 1,000 hours | Drops to 400 hours if payload exceeds 950g |
| Dual downward (each position) | 950g | 1,000 hours | Drops to 400 hours if payload exceeds 950g |
| Third gimbal | 2,100g | 1,000 hours | Drops to 400 hours if payload exceeds 1,600g |
Worth checking your actual payload weight against these thresholds, since running heavier than the reduced-lifespan trigger doesn't damage the aircraft, but it does mean planning for replacement roughly two and a half times sooner than the standard 1,000-hour interval.
Specifications
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Material | High-elasticity silicone |
| Package contents | 5 x Gimbal Damper |
| Package weight | Approx. 30g |
| Package size | 190 × 100 × 15mm |
| Compatible aircraft | DJI Matrice 400 |
| Compatible positions | Single, dual, and third downward gimbal mounts only |
| SKU | CP.EN.00000676.01 |
The Matrice 400 has no upward-facing gimbal connectors, so this damper is for downward mounting positions exclusively.
Fitting
Installation itself is tool-less, dampers pull through the positioning holes on the mounting bracket until the tabs are fully seated, but you'll need scissors to remove the old ones first, since worn dampers are typically cut away to clear the mounting holes. Always replace the full set together rather than mixing new and worn dampers, which affects vibration tuning if left inconsistent.
What to Check on Pre-Flight
Look for dirt, tears, or noticeable softening of the silicone during pre-flight inspection. Any visible defect affects the damper's frequency tuning, and a distorted or shaky video feed is often the first symptom of a worn set before physical damage is obvious.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many dampers does one aircraft need?
Depends on your gimbal configuration, single, dual, or third position. This pack of 5 covers a full replacement set for most standard setups; call us to confirm the count for a multi-gimbal configuration.
Can I mix new and old dampers?
No, DJI specifies replacing the full set together. Mixing new and worn dampers affects consistent vibration tuning across the mount.
Does a heavier payload damage the damper faster?
Not damage exactly, but service life drops significantly, from 1,000 hours down to 400 hours, once payload exceeds the threshold for that mounting position. Check the table above against your actual payload weight.
What tools do I need to fit them?
None for fitting the new dampers, it's a tool-less pull-through installation. You'll likely need scissors to cut away the old, worn dampers first.
How do I know if they need replacing?
Check for dirt, tears, or softening silicone during pre-flight inspection, and watch for distortion or shake in the video feed, often the first sign of wear before visible damage appears.
What warranty comes with them?
As an official DJI retailer, we offer 24 months warranty generally, though dampers are typically treated as a wear item with a service-hours lifespan rather than a fixed warranty period. Our team can confirm current terms before you buy.
Can I get this on finance?
Ltd companies can access iwocaPay financing, and individual buyers can use Klarna or Clearpay at checkout.
