Was flying my MPP back and this happened, freaked me out a bit as i probably have an hour flight time total.
card is a 64gb Sandisk pro, was about 7 minutes into recording. I’ve heard of people having issues with cards other than 32

 
You will hear about people having various issues with cards of all sizes. Nothing special about 64Gb.
 
It resembles an inflight gimbal calibration (not something that is considered normal), and while I haven't had one like this happen to my M1P when flying, it has certainly been reported on this forum (and other such places) many a time.
I think it did the usual series of moves, plus a few more weird movements which could be caused by the momentum / movement of flight.

Hopefully you won't experience this again, but if so, there should be no resulting damage I guess as it's done on the ground during start up.
Merely edit it out, and hope it doesn't happen at a critical point in time when filming.
