Mini 2 tilted horizon and shifting when hovering

I bought my Mini 2 in July and so far was very happy with it. However, last week I experienced a tilted horizon (about 5°). In addition to the tilted horizon, rather than turning on-the-spot in hover by applying yaw only, the drone "jumped" around in a small circle.

I did the following:
• IMU calibration
• Compass calibration
• Camera calibration
• Firmware flash (current release)
• Different Android Fly app 1.4.2 / 1.4.8 (1185) / 1.4.12 (1420)
Smart Controller (with current FW release)
• Standard controller with iPhone 8 (iOS 15.0.2)
• ND filter mounted/removed
• Replaced propellers
• SD card removed (DJI instruction)

Nothing helped. No wind and temperatures at around 10°C during all flights. Oh and by the way, never had a crash or hard landing.
DJI asked me to send the drone to their service center. We will see what happens…
I got my Mini 2 back today. Actually, it is a replacement (warranty). According to the repair status the problem was related to the “Gimbal Axis Arm Module”. I took the drone out for a check flight (Fly 1.5.0-1885) and all was ok.

The DJI repair facility in the Netherlands took care of my case. They were very fast.
