Pilot cam ... Is that video from "the gimbal camera"?

Is it in GPS or ATTI mode ?

My bird do alot of "rocking" in GPS mode when there is alot of wind and it's trying to maintain its position.

I never have experienced that kind of rocking.. did you see your Inspire also rocking or is your gimbal over compensating?

Is it in GPS or ATTI mode ? You can't tell with the gimbal as it compensate but with the nose cam on the inspire you can see it also when you fly it

At what part of the flight does it start to wobble?  Or it does it throughout the flight?

I would suggest changing the props and have a fully charged battery.  If you tried this already I would start pointing a figure at the firmware and with .17 it has been pretty stable for the most part so it would be hard to believe its the firmware.

I had the issue with the old props and now with the new prop system still does the same thing. I do I M U calibration and compass calibration every time I fly. The bird fly great with the exception of that wobble.

How about this:  Does it do it at all levels?  If not test at what altitude it does it.  Also I noticed the wind, try to work on a calm day unless you already flew in calm weather and it still does it.  The wobble looks like the bird is trying to adjust.  I have seen this wobble with a full throttle descent, I created a thread for it, and the problem so far was the battery not being fully charged.  No wobbles on descent with a fully charged battery.
Also check that your landing gear is level, place it on the ground and see that left and right landing gear are equal.

I will try and I'll let you know but so you know that issue has been going on since I've gotten the bird the camera does not pick up the motion because it compensates
