Quite a lot of the time my camera is about 10 degrees out of level. Any ideas as to what I can do?

I had a similar problem, although just a few degrees.

Placed mine on the kitchen table which is absolutely level and did an IMU calibration. Seems to have settled down since then.

Although I assume that if you start up subsequently out at the flying field and it is not level there, you could once again induce an error in the level. I am sure you notice it does a gimbal calibration on startup each time. So a level startup would be best.

I've got the same problem.  I have to manually adjust the horizontal on each flight.

I think we all have this problem ...

If some one has a perfect gimbal with perfect horizon ... Please let me know ...
I might go through the process of getting a new one on the warranty!

I've never had a problem with the gimbal not being level. I always fire up the I1 on a level surface.

Mine is level at take off ... but starts to tilt with movement ... even if I only go straight forward (mostly at high speed / full stick input).

I will probably send it back to my retailer after this summer and get a new one ... thanks for your feedback!

I had a few flights last week and on one flight after changing the camera mode I have just noticed in post editing that the image is tilted in numerous parts of the film, when turning or adjusting the aircraft the gimbal seems to follow the the pitch of the aircraft rather than stay in the horizontal position, then returns to horizontal.

Will try and post a link to show.  Never had this before.

I have the same problem but almost every time when i fly on the "ring" with camera on inside. Sometimes when a fly straight it happends too.

I have noticed this problem a lot when I fly. I have even noticed that when the bird was facing in one direction, it was level. If I pointed the bird in another direction, it would be off by a few degrees. Sometimes worse than others. Point it back to the original direction, it was normal. I have concluded that peter.psilver  is correct. Make sure you fire it up on level surface. If not, the gimbal seems to go off level.

So long as the original IMU calibration and gimbal calibration was done on a level surface then I would have thought booting up out of level (within sensible limits) should not be a problem. I have leveled my Inspire using a spirit level across the motor shafts and have calibrated the IMU and gimbal, so at the next available chance I'll see if this has helped.

I think it is better as in level more of the time but not as good as my old 8 bit alex mos gimbal.

Im a little hesitant to reply to this saying I've never had a problem like this, only because I don't want to jinx myself... okay with that being said, I've never had this problem.
