Took the second flight with new (trash)firmware. Just was able to get the EXPO down on 2.3.
Still fly aggressive like he'll. Just to fly horizontal ahead I can see the bow engines. Never before.  No wind .
That was an attempt to decide to keep the firmware or roll back. So i wasn't so sure.
But then, in 340m high altitude, the gimbal tilted out. First the cam goes up and right so I could see Nicky the starboard from engine, then it when in "off position" slightly faced down and tilted to the starboard side. Image transmission was still working.but no remotely controle.
Landed save , and after reboot the toy the cam was working again. But on Safty reason I did not start to a third fly.
Well, I feel there is no other way to roll back.   SHAME ON YOU DJI FOR THIS FIRMWARE.

I had the same issue several months ago, not related to the new failware. It only happened once, exactly as you describe it.

Could you, and if, how, fix it?

I landed the drone, restarted it and I've flown since then without this issue.

I have been having the same wobbling and jerking and twitching with my P4 when I hover. before the update the P4 was very stable and didn't move at all (almost). I don't know what #DJI has done with this recent update, but they have absolutely messed up my expensive toy! Another apparently known issue is video's captured in 4K 3840x2160 @30fps; the camera gimble jerks and randomly moves about and cancels the video recording...I hope #DJI rolls a new firmware update to resolve these issues!

As Pareja mentioned, I do not think the issue was caused by firmware update personally. I would recommend you to reset Gain & Expo Tuning first and do IMU and gimbal calibration.

I have had a problem with gimball failing during a flight, after which only restart helped. Cannot confirm either way, but I only had this problem once, after one year worth of flying and only with this newest firmware. Scared me quite bad.
