Hi guys,
have flown R/C for quite a while so not having issues with the flying part.  However, the gimbal positioning does not seem able to tilt above horizontal (0 deg.)  On the app, the tilt level above 0 appears greyed out.  The gimbal does tilt down to the full -90 deg, and when holding the Mavic, if I tilt the aircraft nose down, the gimbal will tilt up to keep the photo reference level.

Basically, my questions are,
1. Should the gimbal be able to tilt up +30 deg when the A/C is level?  The manual appears to show that as available.  
2. Why would the indicator in the app be appearing greyed out?

Thanks,

GOD YKS

I "think" it is for the FPV/airplane mode with the goggles connected? Or the grey FPV model of the DJI goggles.......?????
As it is now, just the standalone mavic ac, it won't go above level with the horizon...

Yes, please go to Gimbal Settings to enable the upwards limit to 30 degrees, set it up when connecting the drone, RC and app. Also, you can refer to the tutorial that Woe posted above. Hope it provides you with some info.
