I was flying my mavic mini at the feather river fish hatchery when without warning it appears that the camera pointed straight up? Then down then recovered. As the gimble won't point straight up without the platform rotating i am not sure what happened. Hopefully it was struck by a swift or more onerously it lost control. It is only 10 or so seconds into the video. If any more experienced pilots could share their experience i would appreciate it. Thank you T3
P.s. the attachment doesn't seem to want to attach so the link is in the tags.
 
Thank you meta4. Newbe mistake as I forgot I could do that. Good news as it appears to be a stuck gimbal that cleared. I was worried about a loss of contact/stability on my first venture over water. Thanks again
