Not quite a crash, but looked like almost...

I bought a Mini 2 last week. On its second flight, the gimbal started going crazy.

See from 1:35 in the video, with the most severe issue at 3:25.

Any idea what might have been wrong?

Flight log here:
Took it straight back to the shop and swapped it for another one, so not my problem any more, but I'm curious...

The mini and mini 2 is prone to the Gimbal Problems, Best thing you did was take it back,
This is one of the reasons why we Favor the Air 2 as its not so prone towards that issue .

I love how you spun around to see if a Giant Bird was attacking you.

Gear to fly you Mini 2 in the Rain and Land on Water.

Seems that returning the drone to DJI is the only way to go

Good, that you got an exchange so quick. No hassle?

No problem. From Argos in the UK. Ordered a new one online for immediate collection, went to the shop, returned the first one and got an immediate refund and collected the new one at the same time.

That's the advantage with buying from a retailer rather than DJI direct.

No hassle - had my new drone within half an hour of calling to report the problem with the original one!

New one has had no gimbal problems so far.

Oh right! Thought the link was specifically for sharing... New to Airdata tho.

How come boblui was able to see it then?

He couldn't see the actual data either, just the summary.
If you tick the share box,, an extra line appears below the image, giving viewers the ability to download much more information than shows in the summary.
