By 'inclined', do you mean that the horizon is not level? If so, this is a known issue with the Phantom 4 series.

DJI's stock response is valid - perform an IMU calibration on a perfectly flat surface, then do a gimbal calibration. That sets the IMU sensors and the gimbal mechanism to a clean baseline setting which it'll make decisions based on.

If the horizon still gets out of whack, try hovering, do a 360 degree yaw, and wait for a few seconds - this helps it to realise that the gimbal may not be level and correct it again. The alternative it to adjust the off-set manually on-the-fly - you can do that using the RC and C2/wheel sequence, or the 'Adjust Gimbal Roll' feature in the DJI GO app. I use the last, after turning gridlines on so I have a guide to show me when the camera is level (and when it's not).

Otherwise, I note the horizon levels are better on my P4P after the most recent firmware update (released last week). Others haven't reported this though...

Thanks, I hope it works!

Are you noticing this when flying straight away, or when you're flying at an angle or rotating? Are you on the latest firmware?

In the straight away, yes, I have the latest firmware.

Tomorrow I make another test with all your suggestions.
