Is the H3-3D gimbal suppose to point directly downward? All the youtbe videos I have seen shows that is does. but mine does not?

yes you should be able to point straight down. I would start with an x1 calibration and go from there.

ok yeah I thought so.
Yeah i already did that and still haven't had any luck...

Did you check the end points on your control?

what do you mean? like on the remote controller?

On your remote control, you should check the end points on the channel used for the tilt down. Usually it is channel 7 if you are using Futaba.

please calibrate your X1 with the Assistant Software

Make sure that your endpoints are set at 100% then calibrate.

I'm having the same issue. I've done a calibration (twice) and it still won't aim straight down. During the "pre" setup after powering up it does go completely horizontal but not by using the controller's slide lever.
What different adjustments did you do?
Also, is there a manual for the RC software? I can't find it on the DJI site.
Thanks

I had the same issue after gimbal firmware update - but suddenly after calibrating using first the RC software and then the Assistant software, it worked again. I was confused that the RC software states that the X1button is not calibrated there - but it had an impact though.

I just received a latest version P2 with H33D and 2312 motors directly from DJI and am using Hero 4B. Successfully performed Advanced Calibration. When H33D boots up it stays pointing straight down I have to use the control wheel to bring it to front facing. Is this normal?
Also, the stabilization in flight is great, however the horizon is not level by 2-4 degrees and drifts as yaw changes during flight.

How do I correct these issues?
