DJI Phantom 2 landing gear/support stand mounting screw screw size
M3 · 6.5 mm long
Our records put DJI Phantom 2 landing gear/support stand mounting screw on M3 screws, 6.5 mm long.
The record covers repair/parts guide explicitly states the screw connecting the supporting stands on the DJI Phantom 2 is 'M3.0 x 6.5mm'.
This entry is marked confirmed and comes from shuntool.com.
For reference, M3 is 3 mm across the threads at 0.5 mm pitch. The imperial size people confuse it with: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3.

How to check the screw before you buy
- Frame and motor screws must not reach the motor windings; check the length against the motor's mounting depth.
- Diameter: across the threads an M3 screw measures about 3 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 0.5 mm from one thread crest to the next (20 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: measure from under the head to the tip for pan, button, wafer and cap heads; countersunk (flat) heads are measured overall.
- The record states 6.5 mm. Going longer risks bottoming out or touching parts behind the hole; going shorter loses thread engagement.
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M3 heads take PH1 for Phillips and T10 for Torx, and a 2.5 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M3 is about 80-130 N·cm into metal threads and 35-60 N·cm into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M3
- GoPro's own official Dive Housing user guide does not itself state a metric screw size for the housing body; only third-party accessory manufacturer (INON) manuals explicitly cite M6 screws for their add-on arms/adapters attaching to the housing.
- Suunto dive computer service manuals reference strap pins and battery compartment springs but do not explicitly cite a metric screw thread size in the sections reviewed; do not infer M2/M2.5 fitment for Suunto dive computer straps without direct confirmation.

Questions about DJI Phantom 2 landing gear/support stand mounting screw screws
- What size screw does DJI Phantom 2 landing gear/support stand mounting screw use?
- M3 × 6.5 mm for repair/parts guide explicitly states the screw connecting the supporting stands on the DJI Phantom 2 is 'M3.0 x 6.5mm'.
- How long are the screws in DJI Phantom 2 landing gear/support stand mounting screw?
- The record gives 6.5 mm. Measure the original from under the head (overall for a countersunk head) to confirm before ordering.
- What is the thread pitch of an M3 screw?
- 0.5 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M3 machine screws; a 0.35 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 2.5 mm and the normal clearance hole is 3.4 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for DJI Phantom 2 landing gear/support stand mounting screw?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M3, Phillips heads normally take PH1 and Torx heads T10; socket heads take a 2.5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M3?
- No. Imperial look-alike: #5-40 (3.18 mm) or #4-40 — neither interchanges with M3. Use a true M3 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
