I only seen advertised the whole mast along with the hinge part, and never seen them claimed to be OEM parts. Possibly they are cheap knock-offs, much like the abundant control boards just to cash in on stolen birds...
Fwiw, Seems the factory hinge gets some bad reviews as it grows sloppy in short order or outright breaks.
Without seeing one in person, Its hard to say if that failure root cause is weak design, abuse or poorly assembled/adjusted by the user.
Anyway, said that. I would like to make my stolen Bird folding also, but not willing to pay 50$ toward an unknown part or willing to put effort to fabricating my own hinge.
