The oscillatory types of motion in frame of 6-modes model of convection are considered into nearly axially symmetrical ellipsoidal volume. The pseudo-Prandtl, Rayleigh numbers and vertical aspect ratio are changed in large ranges. The regimes with different types of vorticity oscillations are determined, that are connected with the turning of the fluid rotation axis or with the alteration of rotation. For some of the regimes the analytical solution and formulae of oscillation periods were obtained.
