Hi

Are you in S mode by any chance and looking straight on or maybe slightly upwards before flooring it?

It was in normal and the camera was central

Was it windy at altitude?

That's the body of the UAV hitting the camera in high wind or sports mode. Same thing happens on my Mavic 2 Pro

The wind was at 15 mph at the alltitude I was flying at I checked the UAV forcast app before I flew. I guess it may have be incorrect. The drone seemed to a bit louder than normal at the alltitudie I was at about 80 meters .

yah, they will do that in high wind on normal too.. bugs the piss out of me since it ruins the shot lol.

It put me off continuing the flight I just landed and call it a night.
I'll try it again tomorrow and see if I get the same result.

It won't happen if you're flying backwards ?

The OG Air did the same thing and I agree, fly in reverse saved the shot many a time on a windy night.

Have to keep that in mind lol

if it happens only in high wind or sport mode then it's normal.

" That's the body of the UAV hitting the camera in high wind or sports mode. Same thing happens on my Mavic 2 Pro " in gentle winds would gentle acceleration or deccelration avoid it?

It’s just the gimbal reaching its limit when the drone tilts forward under windy conditions, it’s normal. You can quite easily get this to happen with sport mode.

You know what the solution is 100% don't bang the sticks around.... You literally have to ease into it when going forward or back... Plus it's not really the type of drone to be doing that with..... Otherwise this is to be expected! That little gimbal has to compensate for the drones attack angle.... And it can get steep!

All Mavics do that When there is a sudden pitch movement

 

[JoeBoy]

Are you accidentally hitting the C1 button which flips the gimbal on the back of the controller?

Hello from Ireland. Well, you're in Ireland, and the wind is doing its job, the same thing happens on Mavic 2 when there are strong gusts of wind. I used to think that there was some kind of problem, but it's just the wind.

Which is why I am lobbying for Cinematic mode like the MP1, MP2, etc.
