Zoom/Smart Controller, flying in sight at 20 meters height - cold day a couple degrees below freezing - windy but not extreme.
I had the Gimbal tilt full up on it's own a few times - regained control with tilt wheel a few times but the uncomanded tilting repeated a few times - eventually got a "gimbal motor overheat" message. All of this was within a minute or so. Flew back to a hover beside me and watched while I moved the gimbal side to side - up and down - and re-centered a couple times. All was working and the overheat message had gone away. Gimbal tracking was back to normal and did a few more minutes of flying with no issues. Post-flight checks the gimbal was clean etc.
I was flying over ocean surf and it was a damp day - the manual has a note about wet gimbal problems that go away once they gimbal is dry - Perhaps this was what happened with a random drop of water...
Anybody else has this type of thing happen?
And a reminder that had this happened at a great distance (and remained stuck at full up) I would have had to return on the map or RTH. A case of a small thing making a big difference.
