Can someone tell me what this is? I crashed my 3 Advanced, and this was rattling around inside the body under the main circuit board afterward. It doesn't appear to have broken off of anything and I can't find anything else that looks like it. The wide end is about 5/16" (9mm) diameter.

It's the button pressed to link the Phantom to your remote controller.
 
Ok, thank you. I have another question that I've been unable to find an answer to anywhere on the internet. When it crashed, the gimbal was acting strangely. It was intermittently making a noise like it was trying to move, but wasn't moving, then it would move around on its own randomly. It still showed video on my phone, until I started messing with the gimbal, now there's no video and the gimbal is completely unresponsive. The only sign of life is the tiny green light that is still illuminated. I guess my questions would be what was initially wrong with it and what did I do to make it worse? I'm thinking I did something to a wire, even though I can see no obvious damage. I ordered all new wires for it. (The ribbon wire and the gray ones that connect it to the drone). Thanks again. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
I don't know much about repairing broken gimbals. There are some members here who do repair work though. Perhaps one of them will chime in.
