From the time I got my P3S I saw that whenever I recorded video, there would be many places where there was micro-jitter. At first I thought it was vibration so I balanced the props, but whilst it made the drone more stable, it didn't solve my micro-jitter problem.
Today I set it on the bench, turned it on but without starting its motors. I then decided to let it record a video. Immediately I started hearing an intermittent grinding sound which is not present when it isn't recording. Taking a photo also causes the grinding noise to start for about a second. When not recording it just makes a silent electrical type noise (which I believe is normal). When I reviewed the recording on my PC, i could see the same effect I was seeing when I recorded outside (micro-jitter as my friend calls it). Even with no draft in the room and it sitting absolutely still it was repeatedly moving the camera up and down very slightly while recording.
I managed to capture the sounds on camera.

Please turn your speakers up if you can't hear it clearly.
I'm thinking possibly a gimbal motor or gimbal IMU problem. I may not be able to get warranty for it because I purchased it online and it came from overseas. I would really appreciate it if someone could recommend which part may be causing the problem. Remember the jitter only happens when the grinding noise is there. And the grinding noise is there when it is recording/taking a photo.
Thanks in advance
