As well as the above have you set up the gimbal roll correction (NOT the calibration).  This is a fixed offset you can dial in.

Also, you need to take off from a level surface.

Hi, I had the same issue with my first M2P - No matter how many times I calibrated it or manually adjusted the roll it was at a different angle for each shot.  It also moved horizontally when flying forwards and side-to-side...  I ended up sending it back through DJI for a replacement
