Broken unknown plastic

Is it loose?
Can it wiggle and pull out?
Here's a link I found from RC GEEKS with pictures and description of a teardown.
There are a few pictures of the camera assembly but I couldn't see anything from my phone that looks like that piece, other than a plastic locator pin looking thing on the chassis?
There's YouTube videos as well.
Sure wouldn't want a loose piece floating around in the Spark.

No, it seems steady and I couldn’t see/hear any wiggles.
The gimble works just fine so I wonder if I should get it replaced.
I’ll check the links.
Thanks!
I just took a picture of mine...
It looks like part of stabilizing bumper for the camera to prevent it from rolling the camera too far left or right and possibly damage the gimbal assembly.
Heck, the camera body hits the Spark at about the same time it hits the bumper so you're probably safe.
It looks like it is attached on the inside whether by screws or just part of the molded plastic frame.
Did the Spark have an impact with something?

If you tilt the gimbel by hand, can you make it go all the way to touch the spark body?
No it did not have any impact that I’ve noticed.

Yes.
If I rotate the camera by hand, clockwise or counterclockwise, the gimbal that holds the camera touches the Spark.
That bumper may also serve to keep the camera from sliding too far left or right when flying.

I don't have the skills or the guts to take mine apart, but that is a fabulous site. Thanks for sharing
Just on the corners at full tilt, not in the middle.
There's a small amount of play in each direction for the dampening of camera to help keep it stable when zipping around in Sports mode if you like to fly extreme figure 8's or whatever.
I see.
Flying extreme all the time. Found it on amazon so I might replace it myself.
I meant to ask if you can make contact between the gimble and the bumper not the spark body. sorry for the confusion.
thanks
It appears it does.
When a grasp the gimbal on the left and right sides and push up equally, the center gimbal part that goes into the Spark does touch the bumper.

After getting home and looking at the RC Geeks pictures on a computer screen, I can clearly see the part now.
Five bucks and some tinkering time, you'll be up and flying soon.
Pick a rainy day, save the good ones for flying.
