After almost 500 miles (yes miles not feet or meters) of relatively problem free flight my P3P's gimbal is intermittently going off axis to the right. It is noticeable both on the iPad monitor and on the micro SD recording. The first time I saw it I thought it was a wind gust that blew the drone off axis but yesterday, in a five minute flight to inspect my roof for hail damage, the gimbal twitched 4 times (three significant times and one quick shudder).
I am attaching a link to a YouTube video I posted of that 5 minute flight here

The P3P is demonstrating no other issues. The motors spin freely and do not demonstrate significant differences in the RPM when tested, so it is not likely that one motor is momentarily seizing.
 
We need to first figure out the source of the problem: RC or AC.

Fly an autonomous flight and check if the issue still persists, if yes then the issue is on AC else it's coming from RC. Once this is known, we can further dig in.
