at the moment I need to download the files from the SD Card with the Micro USB Cable connected to the drone.
Do I need to remove the gimbal clamp before turning the Mavic on?
I take it you already know that you could instead just remove the SD card itself. Plugging the SD card directly into your computer is generally a much faster way to transfer content and if you do it that way you don't have to bother with removing the clamp and turning on the drone.
I agree with DroneFlying above statement
As for the removal of the gimbal clamp , it is good practice to remove it B4 power up of AC
always, even though I hear it does not damage the gimbal --- why cause more ware + tare

Yes I know this but I didn't have an adapter at the moment. I can only read non micro sd card.
