Crazy jello with P4P!! Is this normal?

Ewww! Looks more like compression noise than vibration "jello". What resolution were you using?
wait you don't see the jello? The whole image is shaking like crazy. I was shooting in 4k 30p.
OK, I downloaded it and it played a lot better. I see what you mean. No, that is not normal.
I downscaled it yes, just so people can view it easier. Just trying to show jello not other qualities.
Was the jello present in the 4k file, too? If so, I would return it, while you can. There could have been some wicked winds up high, but it still doesn't look normal to me.
Did you remove the shipping foam from the gimbal?

Good question but yes absolutely!

Well, like the other member responses, I can definitely see the jello, and as said, no it's not normal. From my experience, it is largely caused from some foreign object or an appropriate object, i.e., gimbal ribbon in contact with the AC. This contact then transfers vibration from the AC to the gimbal. On the P3, the external gimbal made it easy to find, the P4 maybe not so easy. If you can't see it, you may have to accept the best advice of others and return/exchange it.
Good luck!

Well I just opened another box and it's the same thing! Do you think it's got to do with the fact that I'm testing the videos while on the ground? If I flew the thing, it won't jello?
Post another sample, please. Original file, straight from the SD card of the bird, no conversion or manipulation.
