Topwater Grill mavic mini with sand in gimbal

Topwater Grill is a nice restaurant located on galveston bay. The food is excellent and the view is awesome.
Launched the drone from the parking lot and a grain of sand got into the camera gimbal and caused the jitter.
If your mavic mini is giving a gimbal error FOD may be the problem.
I manipulated the gimbal through full range of motion while using pressurized air to blow out the dust.
When flying in a dusty environment I suggest hand launch and hand land your drone to avoid getting close to the dusty surface and ingesting dust into the camera gimbal mechanism or the motors.
