[size=14.6667px]I added music to this video but didn't do any color editing. How does it look with the ND16 filter?

alright video there,
I am just looking at the horizon out of level ... it's all tilted left down, di ...

I'm pretty sure that's just the landscape. If you look when I get down low to the ground it's level and yes I calibrated the gimbal, IMU, and the compass.  Here's another video where I went 2 miles out:

What's the resolution and rate?

P mode and the res is 4K 24fps.

Morph1 Posted at 2016-4-6 12:25
were you flying this one in P mode or S mode ? , it still seems like the horizon is off at times.. ...

MIne is a Phantom 3, so there is no S mode.

@wheeliesteve - have to say, your horizon definitely looks out of whack.

I'll have to do another quick flight behind my house and post it and see what you think. If it is off, what should I do? I was going to fly it at lunch but it's too windy here.

Two miles out for a P3, Wow

How does the horizon look on this one? This is one I did behind my house before I sent it in to get the shells replaced by DJI a couple of weeks ago.

Here's one I did at the same location as the one you think the horizon is off on and I did this one before it was sent to DJI for repair. It looks the same to me.

is this video using an ND16? it says ND8 at the top...I just bought an ND16, im still waiting for it to be delivered. your horizon is definitely out of whack, but the lighting looks great with the ND16.

They are FAR from the same.  Of the two above, the first is pretty level, but the second is well off of level.  Never did see a link to your first video on the opening post.  The second one had to be muted to get rid of the crap audio that was with it.  Certainly not appropriate for this sort of video.

That video was using an ND8, Just experimenting to see how they affect it.

Sorry you had to go through the trouble of making an extra click to mute it.

Great landscape. But as for the horizontal issue, you can try to adjust the gimbal roll in gimbal settings if you have done the IMU and gimbal calibration.

I recalibrated the IMU and gimbal and shot this video today after work.

From my understanding, if you adjust the gimbal roll, it goes back to the way it was after it's shut off and restarted.

Yes it is and normally the horizontal view will be ok after IMU and gimbal calibration (1 or several times). If  the calibration doesn't fix, please contact our NA office as below:

Okay, I'll calibrate a few more times and see if makes any difference.

"How does the horizon look on this one? This is one I did behind my house before I sent it in to get the shells replaced by DJI a couple of weeks ago."

Hi can I ask what you had to pay for the shell replacement (bottom & top?) because I will need a shell replacement but DJI can't or will not give me an estimate!
Thanks,
Rain

It was covered under warranty.

DJI-Paladin, how does the video look I posted last in #18? I shot that after re-calibrating the IMU and gimbal yesterday. Doesn't it look better?

Thanks,
Steve

In post production I would raise the contrast and saturation a bit

Okay, i updated the firmware to 1.8, calibrated the IMU and gimbal again. How is this? It seems to me it changes where it's off on one side then it changes to the other. Don't know what to think.

Seems that I'm not the only one having the same issue after looking at some posts on the pilots forum.

Morph1 Posted at 2016-4-7 16:17
I have the same problem, it wonders all over... even when I manually adjust it it still goes off

So is it covered by warranty?

It looks better but I can still feel the issue. Sorry for that and I'd suggest you to contact our NA office as above.

I emailed them and they opened a ticket # 279780. I sent a few screen shots with the email showing the horizon being off and explained it changes sometimes during  flight. So, waiting to hear back from them now. Thanks for your assistance.

DJI-Paladin Posted at 2016-4-10 18:49
Thanks for your understanding.

They can't actually see the problem without flying it and looking at the video. I took some screen shots showing the horizon tilted and explaining the problem and sent with it. Hopefully they will read it and not just calibrate the IMU and Gimbal as that fixes it until you fly it. I inlcuded a letter explaining all that to them.

When you do the calibration make sure the phantom is on a level surface. Don't eyeball it or assume but use a level to make sure. Most of the time that solves the problem

Every calibration was done on a level surface. It only fixed it until it got in the air and did some turns. Then the gimbal would be tilted again.

Just looks like Arkansas to me...

DJI-Paladin Posted at 2016-4-10 20:49
Thanks for your understanding.

I got it back yesterday. It looks like they replaced the camera and the gimbal. I'll post a short video from it when youtube finishes processing it. It looks better but it still tilts to the left and to the right when you make sudden turns but appears to eventually straighten back out. I'm just going to assume this is normal.

Hello steve, the camera and gimbal works well in the video. You can try to change the direction smoothly and slowly next time. That will be better.
