Can anyone help me with my new DJI Mavic pro? My video is shaky/trembling:
What I've already did is recalibrating the gimbal, but the issue is  still there as you can see in the video. Anyone else with this kind of  problem out there? Does it look like a gimbal issue?

Best regards,

Ah, you did already started a new one.
First it looks like your focus is very off.
Not that that will help you with the shaky footage.
Are you in S mode? (Sports mode).

nope, sports mode off. yeah it looks a bit unsharp because of -1 sharpness, nevertheless it has nothing to do with the trembling.

PS: It wasn't windy at all and I noticed that one of the 4 arms doesn't lock properly like the others (only very  very tiny movement).

I would suggest you reset the camera settings, then leave them in auto and only set the file type (MOV or MP4), NTSC or Pal and 4K, 2.7K or 1080P. Check the focus is set to AFC.
Then find a time when it is not quite so dark and fly a lot slower when you have the video running. Do this and see what the video is like.
Also check that the gimbal is seated correctly and no damage to the propellers. Have you had a crash or hit something that may have affected the arm you mentioned that has a slight movement?

Thanks for the replies above, please refer to them. It seems like a motion blur, but I  can't one hundred percent sure. Please try to switch the camera from AF to MF, decrease the exposure time, but it might reduce the quality of the image. Or try to fly the drone in a place with fine light, ensure your gimbal is on follow mode. Hope it help.

Thank you for all the replies!

1. The drone did not crash so far, so from my point of view, the issue with the arm is a manufacturer problem
2. I'll set everything to default and upload the footage to this thread again. Let's pray and hope.

PS: The drone is brand new. Im working with drones almost every day, but this i new to me - at least for DJI products.

Ok: Just tested it today again with bright light but unfortunately the issue is still there, even with manual focus. It looks exactly like in my previous video. I've already watched tons of videos talking about the stuttering effect (every 8th frame) but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with that. I really think it's a manufacturer problem because of the arm which isn't locking properly.
