It's happening to me too. This started after I upgrade to Pro version and install the plate.

This happens using x3 and x5.

I noticed the only time the Gimbal don't drift is straight after Imu calibration on a perfectly level surface, other then that there is always a slight drift, after reboot it drift, after gimbal calibration also, it drift over a larger area and faster. What's the point of trying long exposure if we know the gimbal cannot hold steady at pixel level when standing still on the ground on a leveled surface..

I tryed recalibrating IMU on perfectly level surface over 4 times(it stops drifting until i reboot or do gimbal calibration), i tryed turning on and off the syncronous option, tryed free and follow mode, it always drift slightly, sometimes worse then other, my goal is to be able to get sharp images without being forced to use faster shutter speed to compensate for gimbal drift...

Is there any better solution, ?

Tryed downgrading, same thing, the gimbal makes small tiny circle, and over times the circles grow bigger, kind of like the "toilet bowl effect" but its the gimbal making the camera move in tiny circles...Also im unable to get the remove to connect when i downgrade the remote and the aircraft, it say FIRMWARE UPDATE REQUIRED in red...I also noticed that now i get cut outs at not even 400m in line of sight, so the last update (claiming to help security of encryption also broke long range connections)
