Ive noticed that during even nominal wind the photographs can be on an angle with a sloped horizon.

I thought this might be during just high winds but seems to occur with nominal too.

Havnt had this with the phantom and thought it could be either camera is not being seated correctly or the gimbal is less forgiving.

I undertook a 180 when it was happening and it remained until wind dropped and levelled.

Any ideas how to improve?

Thanks

I noticed this also over this past weekend.   It seemed to straighten itself after a minute of flight.

I had the same problem, horizon was tilting on photo's and some video. Had to send it back in the end. Still waiting two week later.

For the heck of it try this. Do a couple of 360's and full Pan up and down with the camera and see if it seats properly after. Just curious to see what happens. Also try taking the camera it self off and reinstalling it to make sure it is seated properly and making sure the lock is seated nice and firm.

I've been having the same issue when shooting in a 5-10mph wind and the inspire is tilted into the wind slightly and all my horizons are off. I'm also having issue when turning where the the gimbal/camera do not seem to compensate for the tilt as much as I would have expected. Hoping to find a fix somewhere but then also wonder if I'm just being to aggressive when I fly. The thing is even when it's hovering and just tilted into the breeze it seems to be off. I have ZERO issues when I accelerate or decelerate the gimbal keeps it perfectly steady front to back.

I also had the same problem but fixed it. Just place the unit on a horizontal surface and make an "Auto gimbal calibration" in the "General Settings" menu. Good Luck !!
