Has anybody experiened problems with a buzzing noise when the drone starts up? I had DJI replace my previous mini 2 because it had issues (not this buzzing issue). They replaced my old drone with a new one back in Dec. The new drone flies fine but I don't know what this buzzing is all about when it starts up. It just started making this noise a few months ago (the drone has never been dropped or crashed). Sometimes when I start it up, it the buzzing does not stop until I pick the drone up and the gimbal adjusts for that movement. Other times (as you see in the video) it only lasts a few seconds and other times it doesn't happen at all. Any thoughts??

Here are the two videos

Remove the rear legs you have added & the buzzing will probably cease.  The buzz is the gimbal leveling itself to the unnatural face-down angle at which the rear legs cause the drone to sit.

Ok, I will give that a shot. Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.

I just tried it without the legs and just holding the drone in my hand and I get the same noise.

See if this works. The first two videos are with the legs on (which Dirty Bird suggested that I remove those). The third video is me holding it in my hand. The noise still happens no matter what I do.

I tried the gimbal calibration, the buzzing noise is still happening. I will open up a repair ticket.
