So my ANAFI flys great about 98% of the time but every so often it kinda freaks out for a couple seconds. It has nothing to do with wind and my yaw is set VERY slow so its not due to crazy control inputs. I also only fly in film mode so it shouldn't be due to aggressive flying. Does this ever happen to anyone else? here's a video so you can see what I mean. any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I take it you were using either the Follow Me or Cameraman mode? That may well be the issue. The skier is a tiny target there in these scenes intersecting with many similarly shaped & sized dark things (trees).

I've never had good success with my testing of these modes when I am too close or too far away from the subject, especially when you intersect with things that the sensor may assume to be the subject. It gets confused at that point.

Share more details about what modes you are using to really assist others to help work this out.
 
This is just using free fly mode with me controlling the anafi and filming my friends. Im not using any kind of tracking mode in these shots. there was also ZERO wind in all three of these shots so its not wind related.

Not sure what the cause may be, but the scenery (other than the shaking camera) is awesome!

At one point I had a problem with filming that related to a bit of a jerky shake, but very, very small. Turned out to be a little dirt in the gimbal that I had missed when cleaning it out after the one time it fell from about 10 feet off the ground. But yours appears to be more with the entire bird moving rather than just the camera.

Oh, no! That is very peculiar behaviour then. I have had some shudders along the way, but usually when flying backwards at speed & hitting a small patch of turbulence.
