My gimbal stays in Follow mode.  Will not change to FPV mode even when I switch from Follow to FPV via both the app and via the C2 button (the default "custom" option for that button on the back right of the controller).  I have updated to the latest firmware (1.1.8) in both the aircraft and transmitter.  I am using the latest iOS app (also did not work for me when I first tried this using an Android tablet).  Any thoughts?  I am also having the issue of the camera being slightly tilted (but per another thread I am going to try doing the IMU calibration...already did the Gimbal calibration but that did not change anything).

IMU calibration seems to have fixed this issue.  When in FPV mode at least the gimbal now locks when leaning left and right.  It  does not seem to lock leaning forward and back but I will experiment more.  I assume this is the default behavior.

Sorry. A bit off topic. Can you tell me what the default custom option is for C1? Is that in the manual? I must've overlooked it. And have you figured out where in the app to change the settings for these buttons?

There are several ways to get there:
(1) look at the top center of your Pilot app display. There's a message in there once you've connected properly - warming up or safe to fly with gps, etc. Look immediately to the right - that little icon is the Remote Control icon. Touch it. The screen displayed will have the two boxes you're looking for. Click in each one (or whichever one you're trying to change) and choose accordingly.
(2) In the upper left hand corner - not the little house - that one will take you back to the opening screen. The one immediately to the right of it will open a window. Once the window opens, I think the second icon from the top is the Remote Controller icon. Lie (1) above, that will take you where you want to go.
(3) Touch the icon in the extreme upper right. A box/menu will open. Like (2) above, the second option from the top is the Remote Control icon, blah ,blah, blah

Enough options?

In the DJI app, tap on Mode, then tap on the Gimbal icon, then the option you can tap on will be directly next to Gimbal Mode.

Wow I read a lot about tilted camera view, but my problem is that while flying right or left the camera in FOLLOW mode, is behave like its in FPV mode tilting way too much. look at sample - http://madebyvadim.d.pr/1iqFl+ and its not FPV I cheched 3 times. I am not sure waht to do. I contacted the support and it suggested the IMU collibration and camera auto-collibration after that, but its still doing the same. Any suggestion beside returning the unit it will be very difficult in my country without offical support?
