Lately my P4A exhibits some gimbal yaw jerks when shooting video and flying at more than low speed. I guess it is related to buffeting from wind due to the drone's motion. Never used to have a problem with this. Now I see it almost every time. Is this a defect that can be fixed or is it just the way it is? I've had this drone more than a year and purchased a DJI Refresh 1 year extension, so it should be covered for warranty repairs. Also this drone is one I got from DJI as a replacement for a crashed one in which the gimbal arm sheared off. It's not the same drone with repairs because the serial number is different.
Update 10/24/18 Actually the real problem is that my drone's flight is unstable so sometimes the gimbal can't compensate enough. At any speed from 15 mph up, the aircraft flies with a constantly cycling pitch, like a bucking horse, and it gets more severe as speed increases. Has anyone else experienced that, and if so how was it resolved? Would it be covered for repair under the DJI Care Refresh warranty? I realize I could turn the drone in for a replacement, but I think repair would be more reasonable, and it may be just an adjustment or calibration problem. I didn't change any of the aircraft or control parameters, just standard P mode flying.
