Hi,
Strange behavior at the end of a flight ( after about 2.5km )
I took a last picture (when the gimbal was at the lower position) suddenly for few second the mavic was out of control :eek:
Maybe that happened with the pwind

Thank for your advice

Was the Mavic out of control or was it just the gimbal resetting?
From what I can see from the vid it just looks like the camera stuttering briefly which may give the impression of the Mavic moving.

Interesting!
I don't know because it was out of view.
But effectively for a while during the behavior I saw propeller, so now I think you're right, that was a gimbal initialisation.
So why the gimbal can resetting during a flight ? A software bug ?
 
Ok, see you have posted in different areas so will get a lot of answers to your question.
I suggest you make sure you calibrate gimbal correctly before next flight, then go out and trial things out. Be aware that if you fly in Sport mode with sharp acceleration and deceleration then the gimbal is likely to act a bit odd.
Before you diagnose a hardware issue you first need to rule out other causes.
Also format the SD in the MP before next flight so you start clean.
