As shown in the firs seconds of footage, the gimbal drops from its position while the drone starts moving forward (the gimbal was at 0 degrees, as I remember, when the flight/filming started).
This one was my only incident. I filmed a videos after this, on the same day without any issues, but I wonder what could have caused (hardware/software) the gimbal to drop in this case.
Flight was at about 2575 m (8440 ft) above sea level (if that matters), shooting some footage of a glaciers for scientific purposes. This is the highest altitude I have ever flown a drone, btw.

Here is the flight log - DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com
