Hi, I hope someone can help me as I cant seem to find a subject in the forums matching mine, although with so many I may have overlooked it. My problem is that the camera is pointing slightly right (looking back to front of the drone). I have had a couple of beginner crashes although relatively soft (never perform a RTH test under Oak trees!). I have calibrated the IMU, the compass, and the gimbal plus have performed the gimbal centering routine. It still points slightly right, although functions just fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Check that the arm that the camera hangs on is correct. At the top is a grub screw that locks the arm .. a knock if that screw is not tight can cause the arm to move slightly so the gimbal thinks its straight but in fact arm is not.

have you tried the advance gimbal menu where you would manually adjust the gimbal roll if needed?

Just a comment ... that is a function that is used once all else is checked and sorted.

Second - his camera is not out of 'roll angle' its out of 'Yaw angle' ...

Thanks for all who have given advice but still no solution. It almost seems to be a software issue as after a gimbal recalibration it is focusing dead ahead and then something happens and it focuses slightly right at the last moment. I'm going to wait fore the next firmware update before I start looking for mechanical issues (have loosened and reset the small grub screw several times with no difference), although it did correct the chattering issue many have had. Thanks again, nice to have community support.
