Hello,

I've been having issues with my new, week-old Mavic Pro. On almost every flight it will have microvibrations, and sometimes ripples in the video, but the vibrating isn't constant and it's usually really quick. Basically, the gimbal is shakey, but it's not full-on Jello effect.

I don't want to send my drone in and possibly have to wait a month or two just to get it back, so I was wondering: if I were to use an ND filter, would that stop the vibrations? My understanding is that shakey gimbals can be counteracted by adding a little weight, and the filter lens does that.

Have you made sure the gimbal is seated properly with the rubber bands and have you done a gimbal calibration?

Here, between 1:40 and 1:50, is a pretty typical example of the problem. It's the only instance I can remember from that flight. Sometimes it's worse, though.

To me it looked more like like the camera focusing.

Looks like whole picture briefly shimmers as drone starts to fly slowly forward.
Strange.

Hi, sorry to hear about the issue that you are experiencing. May I confirm that did your drone crash before or was there any hard landing? Secondly, please check if there is an error message in your DJI GO4 app? If yes, please show us a screenshot, thanks.

There are no errors and it hasn't crashed. It's just an occasional thing that happens.

If you have not already done so and even if you have is a good idea to do again.  Calibrate the IMU and Gimbal.  Make sure each one completes.  And could not hurt to reset all the camera settings then try again.

Thanks, now it has the same problem, but it also drifts while flying forward.
