Side-to-side wobble at high speed in sport mode

So.... at this point I'm thinking there were some cross winds at the altitude I was flying. I didn't really think it was that windy at the time but maybe that was just on the ground. Just went back out to the same field - and it was a particularly still morning - and let her rip in sport mode again. Sure enough I peaked at 42 mph and it was steady as could be. Nothing to be seen on video or when actually looking at the drone.

So, yeah.... ?‍♂️
Either it was wind or an intermittent issue which I'll keep an eye out for.

Thanks for all the advice everyone! :D

Last week I flew my P3A and M2Z on a very windy day. Reports said 12mph with 23 gust. The P3 was able to cope but there was a lot of drift/slip within GPS tolerances. M2 was more stable but had a bit of drift.
This was at 80ft altitude. The drifting actually made the video recording more interesting.

So yeah, wind does seem to have been your issue.
