Recently noticed that the gimbal on my mini is tilting when moving sideways in any of the modes. This includes cinematic mode. I have recalibrated IMU, Compass and gimbal to no avail. I have checked the gimbal for debris and blown it out. It feels like it can move freely. Also, when I tilt the drone side to side in my hand it works perfectly fine, the issues only start when the drone is physically moving sideways and tilting at the same time. I have contacted DJI and hopefully can get a replacement. Anyone else have or had the same issue? Here is a video -
 
Have they been back in contact with you ?

Not yet, I just sent the request a few hours ago
Well hopefully you won’t have to wait long but do post back what they say.

They finally got back to me but they are putting the fault on me for no apparent reason. They are charging me $140 for a replacement gimbal. I called and online messaged them and I never got a clear response on why they determined it was my fault. They said that there was no evidence of a crash in my logs, which should make it be covered by warranty. This is really disappointing service, I will definitely not be buying any more products from dji again
 
About normal, they hardly ever claim fault. Hoped they would with you but guess not.
