I had this same phenomenon happen today for the first time, sortie number 21 after 9:05 minutes of flight time. I've got the latest firmware (upgraded the same day it became available) and GO 4 App Android V 4.1.9. Altitude was 150 meters just crossing a highway, freaked me up good because the feed on the display looked like the MP was falling down on a violent spin of death...
After the incident the camera remained crooked so it looked like the MP was falling down its side first, but it was just a momentary illusion which corrected itself after a while. Too bad the recording stopped the very moment the troubles began. Hit the RTH button and the MP was recovered without further drama.
Exactly the same thing happened to me several times. Scares the crap out of you, especially if you are not VLOS, like most of us. Not limited to latest firmware. Happened a couple months ago, too. The SD video does not pick it up. Camera simply cuts off. Takes a minute or so to get itself back together to where you can record again. Camera operations (play-record) seemed to be "frozen" in the app for that minute, like its rebooting. Maybe this will get fixed with the CPU Overload issue in the next release. Fingers crossed.
