I've had horizon slant issues since day one. At first I thought it was due to reaching gimble limit in high winds, as at first it coincided with wind direction. In any case, I soon realized that it was entirely randomly directional (between power-ups)--fine while pointed in one direction but slanted when pointed another. I've tried several IMU calibrations (including cooling in a refrigerator first; using different types of levels to make sure they all agreed with each other--relying of course on my landing gear being perfectly even). However, after a stupid mistake on my part where I flew my Phantom into my HF antenna strung 20 feet off the ground resulting in a broken prop; not only does it now fly (with three new propellers) just as well as before, but now after several test flights, my horizon slant issues have disappeared--perfectly horizontal in all directions all the time! I guess it could be said that it helped to "knock" a little sense into it? Kudos to DJI for engineering a high tech device that can survive a 20 foot fall, and come out smelling like a rose. |
