Hi all. My second controller finally arrived so been playing with dual operator setups. I've set the sticks so I have pan and tilt on the right and roll on the left.

But having adjusted the roll away from level (for creative or whatever reasons), is there a way to command the gimbal to return to exactly level, other than manually adjusting until it looks correct by eye?

The gimbal roll adjustment in the settings (which starts at 0.0 etc) seems to apply as a general calibration tweak "before" any manual roll is added - by which I mean this will still say 0.0 even if I've manually rolled the gimbal a lot. So no help from that readout in re-levelling.

I have found no better way to reset the roll other than by eye. I have done away with the roll control as it has ruined shots for me in the past, especially when you have someone on the camera who is not used to it. If I ever have need to use gimbal roll for a shot, I will reset the controls.
