As described in the title. I did an upgrade an now the gimbal tilt is erratic. I can't do a manual calibration, it won't do the Di----Di-Di tone when I hold the throttle up, only the typical Di-Di. The software shows the values jumping and it won't tilt downward very far. Controls are normal in the Vision app via the phone.

Any ideas? There seems to be a lot of tinkering involved in this "RTF" product.

If you follow the procedure Gerry left you it should fix the thumb wheel issue and gimbal tilt.  If that doesn't work let us all know.

Ahh. Throttle AND pitch. Worked like a charm, but it's annoying that this isn't able to be accomplished via the software.

ive used the software to calibrate the gimbal wheel, Gerry's fix is for when you are out in the field away from a PC.

Do the calibration WITH software.
Download the RC12 Assist, plug remote into USB and recalibrate all sticks and move the tilt dial up and down slowly.
Close the RC12 and then open up Phantom Asisst. Plug USB into Phantom and do the calibration again.
