When I first take off, the gimbal shakes like crazy all around for about 30 seconds. Then it will go back to normal and stop shaking but it does this every time. Any ideas?

When mine did this i tried a gimbal calibration first, when that didnt cure it i had the ribbon replaced
 
After over 1000 flights and nearing 2 years of flying, I had the same problem, in addition, the gimbal got so hot I could not touch it. Sent it back to DJI repair in Texas and they quoted me $129 to fix it ($59 for a new gimbal access arm plus $65 for the labor + CA tax). I ended up using my DJI Refresh instead and got a new (or like-new) Mavic Pro Platinum.
