Possible strong winds, Gimbal, Firmware OR something else ?
In my phone wrote strong winds interfaces.

Common problem with the Anafi. Strong winds or cross winds where you were flying. Many have experienced this. Scares you the first time it happens but the Anafi seems OK once it recovers.
 
You said, this is normal, because after firmware updates sometimes the gimbal is crazy, when I opened. I close and open again and after it's ok.

It is the wind doing that, you even got a warning of strong winds. The Anafi is very light and this happens in strong winds.

Thanks Agustine for your answer, I think that you said is right.
 
Dear dkokki
This is not happening due to of wind ,its the sign of end of life of motors.
I also had same prob and after free flights drone crashed. I sent for repair my mother bord is cracked due to crash and parrot support told me i had to change motors .
 
Thank you, but the drone is a new (40 days), are you sure ?
After this, I have 6-7 flights without issues.
Also updated latest firmware 1.6.1
I have to worry, what can I do ?

Well rsvibhadaniya,
your video is also a little bit windy, or even more..., so it’s also possible that the problem we see on your video is because of the wind.
the motor problem you’re talking about could be another problem which have no relation with this windy cause

You may be right but at times of high wind we see high wind warning in freeflights 6 app but in my case there was no any warning and i am sure mr Dkokki also not getting high wind error.

I vote for strong winds doing that. Flew yesterday in quite windy conditions and mine was doing it whenever flying across the wind direction (but not when flying directly into the wind, or with the wind.) I also got the warning message about strong winds.

I had this "problem" some time ago....same behaviour. Drone was flying perfectly steady video and stable.....then suddenly camera had some "seizure attacks" for few seconds. I think it's completely random, hard to tell what could be.

P.S: My Anafi was brand new with a dozen of flights.

Just got this issue with my Anafi after a failed "smart" rth that crashed the drone.

Even in no wind situations, I get this interference (no wind alert on the app). Just changed the props, I will check if it can solve anything. The motors are not damaged according to the app...
