Anyone have this problem of the gimbal twitching when you're flying around an object or panning or yawing? This ruins a what would be a great shot. At 19 seconds is where you'll see the twitch. https://youtu.be/WfFxk5-7TeE

Possibly the wind? Looked pretty gusty around that tree.

It also happens in no wind.

it looks like you hit the yaw movement limit when doing circles too fast

I was having similar issues on my last flight. Maybe 2 or 3 times? It seemed to be pretty random, except that I was controlling the gimbal each time. The only other thing, I had done a gimbal calibration before my flight, and it had been awhile. Haven't had time to test again yet.

Calibrate the Gimbal, see if it is better. Was it in P-GPS mode or Sport mode?

Thanks for the reply, I've calibrated, fly in P-GPS mode, and still does it, but I recently did the obstacle avoidance calibration through Assistant 2 and it seems to do it less.

I see the problem occurs when you tilt the camera while spinning (yawing).

I've had that problem with my Mavic Since I got it last December. It's frustrating, but no where near the problem of the complete camera reset I've had with the latest firmware.

Are you saying that resetting the camera on the latest firmware causes problems?

Are you saying that resetting the camera on the latest firmware causes problems?

It's been a long time since I've been on this forum, sorry for the delayed response.

Last summer, when I was using the drone and taking an extended video, it would periodically reset the camera during flight. Doing so would stop the recording, and most often leave a corrupted video file on the flash card.

Sometime in the fall, a major update to the firmware seemed to fix the problem. I say seemed, because now I'll get an unexplained camera shake. It's like the gimbal is resetting, but at least the video file itself isn't completely lost.
