Is this normal,to much tilt and a i was flying with N3. The day was not windy at all btw.



Thanks,
George

need calibration?

Hi there, thank you for sharing this beautiful footage. Kindly try perform gimbal calibration and see if that helps. Also, do test flight in different location and see if the issue still persists, Do not hesitate to contact us if there's anyfurther inquiry.

Thank you for your valued support!

Thanks for your answers,
i forgot to mention that i performed imu calibration,compass calibration and gimbal calibration.I also flew in 3 different places since I noticed this issue.Actually the footage you see is from the 3rd location.

Thanks,
George

I have the Avata and the DJI FPV and this seems to be a problem with the single axis gimbals. My Mini 2's horizon has always been spot on even under windy conditions.

I noticed with my Avata specifically, when flying low to ground (less than 10m or so) the horizon is perfect but once I get about 30m there is a tilt in the horizon. But this only happens in normal or sport modes, if I fly in manual mode (my preferred method these days) it's not an issue.

Put the neo on a flat surface (use a spirit level) and then use some paper with a line to see if the gimbal is level at rest.

it is ,and also when at stop the horizon is spot on. The tilt starts when moves.

I do not know about Avata and Avata 2 since i never flew normal mode or with horizon lock ,i always fly manual with my Avata ,and know days with my Avata 2.

since is one axis gimbal only, it can only compensate a given amount of tilt. anything more (by higher speed and/or lateral sideway movement and/or steady wind from the side in respect to your flightdirection gives you a banked/tilted horizon the more the drone must tilt to try to keep the camera on spot. look from close or a second drone flying behind it, you will immediately see why it happens and "THAT IS NORMAL" (in this cases, your case seem to fall into this conditions). sorry my english is not the best and i need to describe around the actual words what i mean.

No it does not and this is because 1st it was a day with almost 0 wind, and 2nd when it was stationery the horizon was perfectly straight.

sorry if i was not right, i try to figure out this strange happenings myself, too

Can you share some test footage without moving and then start to fly (to show what happens)

What happens if you tilt the camera down, does it stay or does it go back ?

When it stops or when it is stationary the horizon is straight ,when i start to fly straight the horizon starts tilting from always the right side. I fly with N3 and RC2 not that it makes any difference. I am not flying in FPV or acro mode obviously.

haven't tested that ,but i will try to see what happens, thanks for the idea!

I'd like to see it in various situations. (against the wind, with the wind, slow movement etc. )
