Gimbal Freak Out

[flightmode16]

Hi folks,

Had a weird event tonight while flying during a sunset.

Link:

It looks like the gimbal started freaking out. I managed to record 10 seconds of it, but this was actually going on for longer. It got my heart rate up a bit in the process. I was worried that a bird flew into my Mavic and that she was a goner. Around the same time this happened, I was also getting the ambient light warning for the forward sensor. Not sure if that had anything to do with it.

Fortunately, no harm done. It stopped on its own and I flew it back. Just don’t really want to go through that again. Anyone else have this happen?

For about 90 seconds or so. Only caught 10 seconds of it on video. Never had that happen before. It was enough time to start assuming the worst...

in all seriousness since it tilted in 2 angles it seems gimbal related but im totally new at this ,i just wonder it flights logs could help,others im sure will chime in.
