What causes this? Was fine a few weeks ago. I have done all the calibrations twice. There was a update this time (well it seems like one, everytime I get it out ;).There is very little wind as you can see the flag poles on the right.
Sorry I think I posted in wrong topic

After an IMU cal,  and a Compass Cal,  as well as the standard gimbal calibration......try this:

PROPS OFF

On a flat surface,  lean the aircraft back onto the rear motor arms.   It is solid.....then start the GIMBAL Calibration......allow to complete.  Then shut all down.

Wait a good 5 minutes...just because..... then start all up and see how it goes.   If that doesn't take care of it,  start a case with support and get her fixed.

Perhaps, just perhaps, it is the gimbal mode, FPV or Follow, try changing it and see what happens.

I think gimbal is not right swings back and forth (left and right) with just a little bit of movement of the drone.

Yes I did while in flight you can tell difference one kinda tries to stabilize the other makes camera tilt sideways when you move drone left and right

Also I noticed that It no longer turns camera left and right during gimbal calibration. Camera doesn’t do any movement during calibration. Videos I’ve seen the camera moves around during calibration.

I guess its pretty sad. Almost $2000 for something that probably seen 2 dozen flights, no crashes, very meticulous how I get it out of case and put back after flight.
Might be why they push the "DJI Care" so much, that I now see all the time. Which I didn't get info on, until it was too late after purchase.
Almost like they leave that out of the emails they send all the time, until way past warranty, on purpose.  
Then send in for high price repair and say, oh yeah you should have bought the DJI care package.  What??? what DJI care package???
Also might be why you can't find a Phantom in stores anymore. Too many returns I bet.
And the very little support I'v gotten here...
I wont be buying another DJI product!!   I will also steer others away from them. Ill be making a Youtube vid about this.

Yes thank you. But you gave me several possibilities.  I don't need to spend $400-500 or more on parts to try on a few guesses. I'm sure DJI knows exactly what it is. From what I'v read, I'm not the only one having problems with this. but nobody gets an answer.
