I was out flying my new Air 3 (with DJI RC2) yesterday and noticed that when pressing only slightly in the forward/backward or side/side motion or changing those directions, the drone would shudder.  Almost like it was getting shoddy signal when instructed to move.  It would wobble, you can hear the props making a weird noise like it can't decide if it should be listening to input or not.
Has anyone else experienced smiliar issues?  I've tried doing compass and IMU recalibrations, and i have the latest firmware installed on controller and drone.

Trying to determine if either the drone or maybe the controller is having issues that need to be addressed.  Next time I am out I will try and capture some video if needed.

Put it up on my YouTube, since I can't seem to upload here.

Only 5 seconds long, but you can see it near the end.

I can't see anything abnormal about that.

btw .. Normally there's no need to recalibrate either the IMU or the compass.
Just leave them alone.

I've never had any of my other drones have that 'shimmy' and motor noise doing the same maneuvers that happen right at the end of the video. It looks at times like it is trying to recover from being poked, or had an impact.  This was one of the minor ones, occasionally it does a few more shakes.  It also has a tendency to drift when I'm not touching the sticks, like multiple FEET of drift.  Again, not something I've experienced with any of my other DJI drones.

Check your all prop mounting lugs. It sounds like maybe a prop touching the drone body.

Apparently it might be a 'known' issue that is 'within acceptable parameters'

Will be trying without bypass mode set next time I fly to see what happens.  Odd that my Mini 4 doesn't do this in bypass mode.

Tested and drone does not do the DJI Shimmy when in 'brake' as opposed to 'bypass' for avoidance.
