I have opened a ticket with support but wondered how many others have the same vibration/wobble out of the box.

I have  P3 Adv

I made a video, watch from 21 seconds onwards

I have the same with mine, minor vibration that's not very noticeable in the videos except when your up high and the wind is a bit stronger.  That paired with this already existing vibration is causing little waves and sometimes focus issues

Are you sending it back for repair?

Not sure.  I'm not sure If its normal or not.  I really don't want to have my drone gone for a few weeks.  Especially in fear of how it will look when it comes back.  The battery I had sent in for repair that came defective with the drone came back with black smears rubbed in and not quite able to get them all off. a scuff or two as well.  Definitely don't want that on my Phantom.  If it becomes an issue perhaps.  BUt if the unit/camera/gimbal is defective I would honestly rather have a full replacement because when I bought the kit that would mean everything in the fking box was defective and that would honestly really piss me off.

When I got the phantom the battery refused to charge so I had to drop 150 bucks to be able to fly it.  It took about a month to go throught he whole process of sending it out and getting the battery back.  If I find out the Camera is defective ill ask for a full replacement, if they refuse then its a call to the BBB because I shouldn't have to have replace everything inside a box of an 800 dollar piece of equipment, then be told that I have to get warranty equipment where they open it up and replace parts with questionable quality.  The replaced hardware is never as finished and implemented as well as a Unit freshly put together.  The craftsmanship will most likely be shit

sorry for the swears but I get passionate about customer service and replacements of bad units

It is not normal. I have a P3A, and it never had that vibration issue.
I think someone who had similar issue on the forum was able to adjust the gains to drop/diminish the vibration.
