Hello, can someone please, look at my video when im starting to descend, the gimbal starts to shake badly, the firmware is the latest, both on aircraft and on remote control. It was like this before the update.

Just watched your video and saw it was stable at the beginning of your descent and became unstable as your descent progressed. One possibility may be the result of Ring Vortex State (RVS). This can occur when descending to rapidly and entering into your own propwash.

I would agree, ring vortex state (settling with power).  Its bad for helicopters and drones.  Your aircraft is descending into it's own rotor wash which is very turbulent.  As a helicopter pilot, I tried to put my P3P into settling with power, but the descent rate wasn't fast enough.  Your video looks like the onset of SWP. The only way to get out of it is forward (or any direction) airspeed.  Increasing power will only make it worse.

DJI have limited the maximum rate of descent to avoid the problem, been that way for quite some time.

Thank you guys for the tips, although I though in that possibility, but it is not because i know DJI fixed it before, and as you can see on video it is stationary while doing that, the thing is it started doing it on descend, and that's weird, but I already tested flying normally and happens the same.

Aloha Deluxor,

     Your gimbal problem seems to start happening when you drop below ten feet (3 meters).  Turn off your Vision Positioning System and try again.  If it stabilizes, you have a problem of some sort with your VPS.

Aloha and Drone On!
