I've been having an issue for quiet some time now. It has worsen as time progresses. Here is a Video of what the problem looks like. Any help is appreciated. I've phisically checked the gimbal and calibrations through the app and everything seems to check out great.

Hi there, are you flying in gimbal FPV mode? Just to verify, does it also happen in Follow mode? If it does, please if the gimbal anti-drop hooks are mounted properly, ensure the firmware has updated to the latest version. Please keep us updated if the issue persists, a screenshot of the firmware info and an original video from the SD card will be highly appreciated. You can upload to Dropbox and paste the link here. Thank you.

The gimbal is not in FPV mode and I do not use follow me mode. I recently updated the firmware just a few days ago.

I did that just now. I will try it again this weekend and update this thread. It can also be that the new update messed with the calibration of the drones software and hopefully this is good again. If not, I'll send it back to DJI and have them check it out and hopefully fix it if it is broken. I have about two months before my DJI care expires so I am confident this will be fixed.

When I was doing an IMU calibration, at the stage where you put the Mavic upright, my gimbal started shaking and tapping the airframe, it then went nuts. I lay it back down and it didnt stop. I turned it off and put the gimbal lock on to continue the IMU calibration. I then did the gimbal calibration without the lock on. Works as it should with no shakes or anything. Maybe try this.
