You wouldn't happen to have the gimbal in FPV mode instead of "Follow" mode? There's no indication of gimbal mode on the main camera screen to show what mode the gimbal is in which is a bit inconvenient especially when the C2 button gets accidentally pressed.

No it was definitely in FOLLOW mode.
I just booted it up to check again.

That's not good news - I was hoping it was going to be an accidental change of gimbal mode. I've certainly seem my gimbal go slightly off level after yawing but not yet to the degree you are seeing it when you are "rolling" with the right stick.

It might be worth picking up the craft, powered on without the motors running, to see what the gimbal does when you tilt the craft by hand.

This is so weird, did as you suggested in the house and both in Follow & FPV the Gimbal stays leve ...

That is odd - here's hoping it was just a passing glitch....

Mine just started doing this. When I turn, left or right, and yaw, it doesn't straighten out right away. It takes like 20 secs or if I turn the opposited way it would straighten. I did all the calibration and nothing. Going to test it again today. I have 7hrs of flight on the craft 42 flights. Never crashed. My vision calibration sensor also went into alarm yesterday. This thing is acting funny, it also drops like a lot of other folks on here. smh

Read this link to understand why the gimbal is not level.

If you bought it at Apple or Best Buy, you could probably just return it and get another.

It is not normal in follow mode. When the calibrations could not work, it is recommended to contact our tech support via support@dji.com or http://www.dji.com/support .

That is pretty bad. I'll ask this anyway. Did you do all of the calibrations on a flat level surface?

Hi rodger, I was absolutely obsessed with ensuring the surface was level - two spirit levels, full ...

I figured that you did but, asked anyway. At least you have it level now. The adjustment isn't that bad and maybe with use and time whatever is out of alignment may work its way back to normal.
