After flying my new Inpsire 1 for over 3 hours total for the past two weeks I must say I am impressed but have on major dissapointment.  Is anyone else experiencing problems with the Gimbal failing to maintain horizontal stabilization?  On just about every flight as the aircraft pitches as high speeds and camera tries to adjust, it begins to fail repeatedly trying to regain level but is only able to do so after repeated resets of the gimbal.  

See video at the following link documenting the problem on two flights: http://youtu.be/pLRbEZ9Z8fk

I suspect the ability of the camera to be perfectly level might have more to do with how level the launch platform is. When starting the Inspire, the gimbal goes through a calibration routine. If the platform that the Inspire is still on isn't perfectly level, it's likely to show up when matched against an actual horizon, which is why the first thing I do after launching the quad is to do a manual levelling of the gimbal against the horizon.

I'm having a really bad twitch happen several times a flight with the gimbal. It happens at any time, moving or not. Suddenly the video will just twitch to the side on it's own. I can't find a reason why it's happening and it's driving me nuts.

Well it's good to see that I am not the only one! But yes I have about 2 hours on mine also and have noticed this in almost every video I have recorded.

Mine is doing the same thing...  My support experience has been less than stellar so far...
