Just got home  a few hours ago from Microcenter.  Did the updates, charged everything and noticed when looking at the craft the camera is every so slightly 'looking' to the right by a few degrees.

What I've done:

1. flown and verified it stays slightly to the right,
2. recal the IMU
3. reset gimbal calibration (no errors)
4. reset camera settings.

Still the same result.   Anyone have any thoughts on this?   DJI supoort just recommended the above, tried it twice.   No interest in sending it off since I can go back to MC; it's a little ways away so I'd rather fix it here of course.

I would try flying it first, when the gimbal locks on and enters stabilization mode is important, or you could remove the props, turn it on and choose a spot focus on, and slightly move the drone to see if it keeps steady.

great timing, I just came back in from a flight.   Regardless it keeps peeking to the right just a bit.      I also have it sitting here on my large flat desk with arms in - same thing.,   It will keep steady but still not right.

bah.

I checked mine and it faces dead ahead, I would exchange it. Sorry for the hassle.

ok confirmed bad.. damn it.   

while sitting on the ground the left right of the left stick should make the camera move ever so slightly... either right or left only makes it go one direction; the direction it is already pointing to.   It simply refuses to go right.
