If you have ever experienced a gimbal random reset (I call it GRRR for short because thats the noise my stomach makes when it happens), it can be a terrifying experience. You might think your Mavic is doing a death spiral down to the ground from what your video feed is showing, especially if you are out of LOS range. The cause of the grrr can be software and/or hardware related, and can happen just once in the Mavics lifespan, or repeatedly, which would prompt a repair.
In any case, the main thing to remember is to keep calm when it happens. Let go of the sticks and let the reset do it's thing. Your Mavic is not going to crash, but the gimbal is simply resetting itself. It could take 5-30 seconds to reset, and then it's back to business as if nothing had ever happened. Keep an eye on your altimeter and speedometer on the display and you will see that the Mavic is stationary, and you dont need to do anything, just wait. If you should happen to lose your display, theres not much you can do, but in my experience, the grrr will not disrupt signal between the controller and drone, so it is safe to wait until it's over.
As the weather warms in my side of the world, and as people get to flying more, this might seem to be more of an occurrence, but it's simply because more people are flying now than 6 months ago.
I hope everyone is having a good time with whatever they are flying.
