I've had two different Mavic 3 Pros now and this has happened on both drones - so not an isolated issue.
While flying (and sometimes filming), the gimbal / camera will tweak out and jerk to the side. This isn't every flight, but probably around 5% of flights it happens?

When I'm filming straight down and flying (backwards I think) the gimbal will sometimes even revert to the 90 degree position.

I'm assuming this has something to do with the gimbal reaching its max range, but in each of these cases I'm usually in Cine mode, low wind, and flying very gently / drone isn't tilted strongly.

I was able to capture this example the other day:

As you can see, I'm flying very slowly here. No reason the gimbal should be getting stressed.

Any fixes for this?

Just to ask the obvious but have you done a Gimbal Calibration to see if that fixes the issue?

Hi, there. We're sorry for the inconvenience. May I confirm if you tried to perform the gimbal calibration?
