Hi team
Got my phantom 4 last friday, and have done the upgrade all good there. Im in Western Australia  and maybe the only p4 owner in WA due to the lack of Aus models. My gimble seems to have a small tilt on it when viewing pics and footage,not a lot but totiable without cropping  which is something im not up for on  every bit of footage.
Cancany one shed any light on this, its my first Phantom and im still a beginner.

Cheers
Andrew

Yep, just put it on a perfectly level surface and do a gimbal calibration......all will be good after that.
I had to do mine as well

I've been getting a bit of gimbal tilt.  I calibrated it on a perfectly flat and level surface, but it persists.   

There is a utility in the DJI Go app that lets you correct a slight lean.  'Menu' --> 'Gimbal' --> 'Adust Gimbal Roll'.

I just tried it this morning for the first time and it seems to work.  The last few photos I took had a perfectly level horizon.

Please look at this post. Not fixable just by calibrating the IMU/Gimbal. Many P4 owners are reporting this issue.

I had the same issue l, use a bubble level to find a perfectly level surface then do an IMU calibration, then run gimbal calibration, power off your p4 then it should be corrected after you power it back up  the key is LEVEL surface if it's kinda level you're likely to have a kinda level camera lol
