Gimbal malfunction...

[AerialEye]

I was in the middle of a flight when I got this warning. Gimbal tilted up and to the right. It was just a bit windy. Brought the P4 down, shut it off and back on again and the gimbal functioned as normal except the horizon was a touch off. Is this a problem that I should contact DJI about or is this a glitch that happens from time to time?
Thanks in advance.

To add, I did have a polarpro nd8 filter on (the snap on type).

IMHO difficult to be sure, as wind can (I too have experienced) affect gimbal. I'd recalibrate everything, try flying again non windy and see how you go, it does not appear to be affecting your flight dynamics so should be safe. If it reoccurs - I'd contact DJI.

PS filter should not be a problem, many users use these all over the world in all sorts of conditions.

Will do and I'll post back with results. Thanks for advising. Happy flying!

Looks like it was a one time thing. Did a couple more flights without a problem.

I think DJI knew you still have money in your bank account [emoji12]
