Hi all. I notice some potential video instability/vibration/shaking issues with my Mavic Air (I say potential because maybe it's just me over-exaggerating) . Here is a test video I made . DJI routinely asked me to send it in to check it out. Before doing so, could you guys let me know if you notice any gimbal issues in the vid? Does the video look fine in regards to gimbal stability?


Thanks.

I can't really see something.
But where do you have such landscape in the Netherlands? ;)

Looks Rock Solid to me, couple of spots have a tiny up/down movement but it doesn't look like a gimbal issue just a small movement when braking, perfectly normal IMO.

haha not Netherlands buddy. Switzerland.

Regarding the "issue", don't you notice the video going a bit "bumpy" especially when breaking?

Yes, its during breaking mostly. Now you make me think of not returning it.

Looks a bit higher than the Hondsrug
EDIT: Around 2:50 you see some "unstable" footage but that is normal when you brake. Try the cinematic mode to reduce that.

It's normal, if it's not broken don't try and fix it.

Adjust your settings and try again by Following the steps highlighted in the thread below and you'll be silky smooth.

Reason why I got worried a lot was because when I had to unscrew the lend cap for to add the ND filter, let's just say that things were more tight than usual. Had to apply a lot of pressure to unscrew it.

Right, I get it now. I guess it would worry us all and I too would have the "I broke it thought" lol. Hopefully it will be fine and you can continue flying without worry.

Keep us informed.

So you still think nothing is wrong with it?

Dial down your sensivity in yaw and also the camera gimbal settings and brake, makes a huge difference, from factory the settings for film work are super aggressive.
