I also wish that the gimbal roll adjust would save as I DO have a spirit-levelled power-up surface in the field and when I power-on for the auto calibrate, the horizon is always tilted - which has often ruined the shots I am taking for TV and is especially noticeable with oceanic horizons. Correcting with rotation in post makes the pixels smear in some edit packages and drastically reduces the image quality.
I have made the adjustment a part of the pre-flight routine as of yesterday, but I would much prefer that the auto calibrate on a level surface would result in the horizon level or at least remember the amount I have adjusted it. My preference would be that the Gimbal Roll Adjust window was still reset to 0.0 on power on as offset to a recorded setting that corrects the discrepancy.
Yes, the IMU is fine, compass ok etc. It seems to always be off by the same amount though, both X3 and X5 so that is at least making the set - reset a little easier to do once the amount is worked out.
At one point, I mapped the roll function to one of the camera-controller's joystick's free axes, but that led to some awful (we say "creative") pan shots and so is not a good option in the long-term. |
