So I was flying SpicyLobster around the bay in a spot ive never been before. I saw and then decided to go check a lake on the other side of the road. Suddenly the video below happened. It stopped filming but the whole world went sideways as it spun, then suddenly it righted itself and even though video transmission never fiully lost it was chunky and lost resolution. I was able to get back contrtol and get him home. I checked my flight on Airdata and not a single error that appears. Did I get hit by something? was it Just a connection loss? Just curious if any of you have seen this before?

I brought it back and landed, changed batteries and launched again with no issues.  I didnt go back to that area though.

Many times. Here are a couple of the most recent threads that seem to be describing the same problem:

Video camera RESET mid flight - v01.03.0900 Problem?

Mavic Gimbal freak out during flight. 2 videos.

For what it's worth, it was just the gimbal that was acting strangely, and your aircraft was probably still flying just fine. I can understand that it must have been very disconcerting to watch, though.

Looked like your gimbal went haywire there for a sec, but the drone itself never losses control.   Probably just an electrical fluke, no biggie.

I've had my Mavic since November 2016 and have about 24 hours flight time with 132 flawless flights. Until yesterday i've been using .500 but decided it was time to check out the new features in .900. Flight 133 today and my camera is doing the same exact thing as in your video. Furious with myself for for upgrading!

Reading all these posts i think we can with 99,9% certainty say it is a .900 bug.
So DJI are you gonna fix this?

Calibrated the vision system with Assistant 2 and haven't had a repeat instance. Crossing fingers that it was only that one time thing.

Yes. flight log will be created every time you power the drone. And your data had submitted to our engineer, I'll reply you once I heard from them. Thank you for your feedback and waiting.

Hi Spicy, I got news from our engineers and they recommended sending the drone back for repair. Really sorry for the trouble that had been caused. Please fill in some info on our online repair link of our official web and then send it back, Here is the link: https://repair.dji.com/en/SelfRepair/Area
