Hello there, My P2V+ gimbal horizon is crooked by a few degrees and I made sure the horizon indicator is aligned with the camera. There is no setting in the vision app and no setting in the assistant software. How do I calibrate the darn thing?

Hello - There is no conventional way to calibrate it.  However, there may be a set screw that can be loosened and tightened to make the camera horizontal.  I believe you have to at least partially disassemble the gimbal.  I've never done this myself, but I"ve heard of it.   I would search youtube.  Good luck.

Unfortunately, no videos that I can find are related to gimbal calibration. Does anyone know if an imu calibration will work? That is all the info I can find for calibration.

An IMU calibration of your P2V+ won't straighten out the gimbal.

There's no such thing as a gimbal calibration on a P2V+ so searching for a gimbal calibration on a P2V+ won't give you anything useful.  

Here are some vids that may be useful.

By the looks of it, I may just offset the horizon indicator by a little bit. That should work.
