I was flying tonight and notice really shaky video stream, when landed I took the mavic up and before I even looked at the gimbal I must have touched it and headed a "click" sound like something was going in or out of its place.

I checked if the shakes were still on when flying, but no. It seems to have fixed it self.

What was the possible cause?
 
Your gimbal had jumped the back holder plate and was sitting on top of it which caused the shaky/gello video. When you picked it up and tilted it forward it allowed the gimbal plate to slip back under the holding plate.
If you turn your mavic over and look down behind the camera at the bottom you will see the small retention plate. The gimbal plate, which floats on three rubbers, should be under this. Somtimes through a bumb the gimbal plate can move forward and back riding up on top of the holding lug. Stopping the gimbal plate from floating free on the rubbers.

That's what I was hoping it was, having read about the issue I'm glad it wasn't anything more severe.

Thanks.
