Try changing the props, it looks like they are out of balance.

It shakes on the ground when I just test it out inside

If you do not have the motors running at the time, then it is a poorly adjusted gimbal system. The only cure for that is to send it for repair.

Sorry for the trouble with the gimbal, please check whether there is debris in the gimbal vibration absorbing structure. Please hold the yaw-axis motor and gently move the structure forward, backward, left and right. Then, please calibrate the IMU first, and then the gimbal to see it is helps.

Did you ever get a solid fix for it? I just got a phantom 4 pro v2 and it is doing it out of the box. I've done all the gimbal calibrations, imu calibrations, changed props, updated all my firmware, and changed around video settings with no avail. I'm desperate for a fix at this point and this is the closest post I've seen to my issue.

I tried to do a "auto calibrate " of the gimble and it failed to finish. So that was its death nell for the repair shop. These are not Nikons that can be dropped in the arctic and be fine They are friggin flying prototypes
So i wonder how much money it  will be to get fixed. I will certainly let you know on that .  This was around $1400 new about a year and half ago So now I have to look into getting a back up drone, I am thinking about the Mavic Pro . I read that the new little one gets blown away since it does not have the 44mph top speed. I shoot buildings and houses I do not use it that much maybe 2 times a month.  

I remember when everybody used Hasselblad cameras that were not really reliable so You had to bring  2 to every shoot since one would fail at a critical moment

Did you even bother to change the props as I suggested?

I changed the props and it is still shaking. It really is more of a problem when there is wind and I assume the gamble is not doing its job adequately
