hi, im new here. i got my p3s yesterday (2nd hand). i setit all up coreectly then it told me to update firmware so i did. i flew it once with no problems.
i then connected the camera to pc to get pictures but my next flight the horizon was very unlevel. its either side not just one. i dont want to adjust roll every time either.
i know theres been lots about unlevel camera but ive found no fix.
ive done imu/compass gimbal calibrate too.
many thanks in advance

If you do a cold IMU calibration, then a gimbal calibration, that will usually correct a crooked horizon.

You must chill the drone down, in a frost free fridge for 15-20 mins first.

Then have the calibration page open and ready, when you insert the drones warm battery, and turn it on, tap start.

Warm battery as in just charged? I've read that this does not work but I will sure test it and get back to you thankful for that

So to clarify...after cold time, do I'm then camera?

Room temp battery... into the chilled drone.

It works for many, why not yours?

I don’t know what that mean, sorry.

Ah, but yes, after you chill the drone, do your IMU calibration, then immediately do your gimbal calibration.


No need to worry about your compass, unless you haven’t calibrated it already. ;-)

Yes sorry damn auto correct. IMU then gimbal it should say.
Cheers guys. Still haven't had time yet but I'll let you know.

Hi. We apologize for the inconvenience. How many times did you try to calibrate the aircraft? Please make sure it is more then 50% charged and it is in a leveled surface.

It will be the next good calibration he gets completed, that will count most now...

Wishing him an awesome outcome too. I am. ;-)

Thanks red-hot.
Sorry for the late reply I went away for a bit.
So today I put Mr drone in the fridge. It was in there a while as I forgot about it while cooking.
When I took it out I set it on a level area and gave it a couple of minutes. Full battery.
When I connected everything... The camera was level again. Strange lol.
I still went ahead and did both calibration also.
Thank you all for the advice which I'll keep in mind.

That's good to know. Please let us know if you still need more help.

I sure will. You are all helpful.thanks

What does the "chilling" process do to the components inside to fix the problem?
I have a slightly "unlevel" horizon too, but I can't imagine that chilling the unit is the solution each time.

I all steps of calibrations of IMU and gimbal not helps the fire up ypur bird adjust the roll axis via Go app and make an automatic calibration of the gimbal and the next time the horizon should be on level.
