Hey guys. This is my first post to the Phantom 3 forum. I recieved my phantom late last week and have been having so much fun with it. It is truly an amazing product. I gathered some clips together and made my first video. Tell me what you think!

Awesome video! I received my Phantom in Oklahoma so of course with the current weather I haven't been able to use it. Awesome to see what this thing can do. What video settings were you using? Some of those shots looked overexposed and I'm wondering if that was manual or auto settings.

Nice first video.  To correct the tilted horizon issue, perform an IMU calibration from the DJI app with the P3 sitting on a perfectly level solid surface (but not over concrete with rebar in it), then perform an automatic gimbal calibration and a compass calibration.  You should perform the IMU calibration with a freshly charged battery and with the P3 cooled down for at least 15 minutes from its last flight; better to do this with a cold bird before first flight of the day.  It might take 5-10 minutes to complete.  Do NOT touch the P3 during the calibration and make sure to minimize any floor vibrations (from kids running, spouse vacuuming carpet in next room, etc.).  I perform my IMU calibrations on a level piece of floor tile in my family room.  Should only need to do this once after unboxing and only again if IMU errors are reported or drifting is noted during hover or tilted horizon is noted in videos.  Note:  sometimes even after performing IMU calibration and gimbal calibration, I note that on first powering on my P3 the camera has a slight tilt to it.  This slowly corrects itself over the next two minutes as GPS lock is established and P3 warms up.

Thanks! I was wondering how I could correct that. Appreciate the help.

Very cool. So no concerns flying over the city? No negative people?

I've done the IMU calibration (a few times). And sadly it does not completely cure the tilted horizon - that will come and go during a flight. Not least when rotating.

In case of your video, I'd do the horizon-adjustments in your video editor. It would raise the level of your footage immensely.

Nobody gave me any grief about it. Although I know in the future it will happen.
