5.3.1 (318) The drone spins endlessly in a yaw motion after each video recording, and the confetti jet is jerky.

DL-DJI mini 3

23 May 2026 at 12:00 (UTC+2), the drone began spinning round and round after each of the first two video recordings. The movement was stopped by switching the toggle to Cine. On each occasion, the mission was able to resume after switching the toggle back to Normal.
While the drone was spinning, the display of the drone’s flight parameters continued to flicker. Furthermore, the message Uploading mission data was missing.

This does not appear to be the same bug described at:
https://support.dronelink.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/33052990089747-DJI-Mini-3-Pro-odd-dangerous-behaviour-with-flight-plan

The mission was then resumed without any further incidents.

At the end of the mission, the confetti display was very jerky. This had already been reported in version 5.2.3 (312) in the thread:

With a different configuration, this issue has been reported:

However, when playing through the same mission offline, the confetti shower at the end of the mission continues to appear in a very jerky manner.

    Please share the video links. Are you able to reproduce it every time, or only some times on some missions? If it is a specific mission, please share it.

    The video, as recorded by the cell phone, can be viewed at https://youtu.be/NntcjoDHro4?si=aw7064GB_zfCF-hj

    The spinning phenomenon occurred only during this mission, as the drone transitioned from one orbit to another.

    A copy of the mission is available via the link provided in the first post.

    However, each mission ends with a very jerky confetti shower.

    This video and the others are currently in post-production to make them more enjoyable to watch in landscape mode.

    I tested your mission today and was not able to reproduce the results (device was online). Does it happen every time and every mission for you or just this mission and/or location?
