Hey bud, what was I just telling you? We miss your input over here. ;-)

Yes, two anti drop pins, and four vibration dampers...

thank you.

It's normal to have 2 anti drop pins that are placed diagonally.

What happens, if anything, if the other two drop pins are put in so you have 4?

If you have four anti drop pins installed, the gimbal becomes too stiff, and it tends to not work as effectively. I have seen video posted on here, with those four pins installed, and it tends to get wiggly. Not sure why. If you want more security, some guys put loosely attached zip ties through the holes. Which secure everything, yet leave it loose enough to do its job.
It works best with a little freedom to move and counter move. Too tight, and the restriction tends to do the exact opposite of what you might expect. It's a delicate balance of security with freedom.

RedHotPoker hit the nail on the head.

I know it seems like the opposite would be true, but yet, loose is best, and forget the rest. ;-)

Hahaha... I installed the other two when I got mine and didn't know it is recommended not to. Oh well... still takes amazing pics and vids. At least the Phantom looks better with four installed.

Well, if you happen to notice a little vibration from the gimbal, at least you'll know to just remove two of the pins.
