During my last flight, about 8 minutes, the gimbal made some unexpected roll movements.

This only took a minute, the rest of the flight was ok. Nice weather, almost no wind.

Here is a link to that part of the flight:  

According to the DJI app, the gimbal is ok. But I recalibrated it anyway. Hope the next flight is better

I would check the rubber dampers too.

Thanks for replying so quickly.

Checked the dampers and the anti drop pins. All in good shape.

Now, I must say that I haven’t been able to fly it for long time, due to weather conditions and other issues. My previous flight was about 8 months ago. So I though, maybe some dust got in the gimbal’s sensor. On the other hand, all that time the Phantom was stored in a case, as in the attached picture.
