Bought a new P4P and I have a camera that looks to the left. I've done IMU, Compass and Gimbal calibrations to no avail. I even tried turning it manually as outlined in another post. Nothing straightens it.  Does this issue have a solution yet?

Yes Brian - the gimbal sometimes slips in transit. There's a process for it buried in this forum. I suggest you try searching, and I'll have a look myself whan I have the chance.
Essentially, it involves you manually turning the gimbal to a left (or right?) extremeity a couple of times to reseat the rubber washer properly, then do a gimbal calibration which involves putting it on it's backside (camera straight up).

[Edit] Found it: Starts with Natalia's post #10.

I tried this and it works for one flight and crooked again. Also if I break it then up screwed.

OK - sorry to hear. See what Natalia returns in the other thread, but sounds like you need to get it back to DJI. If it's just out of the box then you may be able to agrue a DOA with who you bought it through.

Yeah it's probably going back.  I appreciate your response.
