    Tilted horizon

    Depending where you purchased it. I purchased all mine from Amazon, they have 30 day return policy. Other places like Best Buy have replacement windows of around 2 weeks. Look into it, I think it's worth it.

    My MP adjusts with the C1 and wheel adjustment.

    Tilted horizon

    I like you have had this experience on 2 MP units. I'm now on my 3rd and the issue us non existent. I believe it's a manufacture issue inline with quality control of the gimbal and its components. It is a shame. DJI should be held accountable especially since we are all spending so much...

    Tilted horizon

    Crayons- I received my new MP 2 weeks ago and have updated it and flown it now 13 times and have not experienced a tilted horizon yet. The more I've read about some people having issues an others with no issues the more I have come to realize that it must indeed be a quality control issue with...

    Great post. You put into words way better than I attempted. You are correct this will not be the solve all but will help quite a but.

    Tilted horizon

    Same boat here. I've sent back the 2 because of this issue. This brings me to ponder how I don't hear of this issue from some people. Then when watching other people's videos on YouTube I see many with tilted horizons. It's obvious this is not a concern to them as they could have fixed...

    Tilted horizon

    Great video and questions. I feel so many of us feel the same way. What I've found out about your twitchy gimbal when panning is that it reflects the quads attitude. In other words it's responsiveness. I had to turn down the responsiveness of the throttle a few notches and the twitchy gimbal...

    Tilted horizon

    Very true. I too believe it may be a combination of factors. I've been quite systematic with my approach at figuring the issue out. It's obvious that the more aggressive a person flies the more tilt. Wind is also a factor. I flew my P3A this evening over Lake Superior with a decent amount...

    Tilted horizon

    Again I agree, I shoot for local realtors and am designing an app. for golfers so I also am a believer in slow and easy. But that being said if/when there is any sort of wind, even minimal wind combined with easy turns the horizon on my units were impacted negatively. Makes for a frustrating...

    I just ordered my 4th Mavic. I will post updates when it arrives. In the meantime anyone with the issue please chime in with your experiences/fix for it if any. Has to be a reason some units fail and some pass. Cheers.

    Tilted horizon

    I agree this seems probable. Just can't seem to get why a friend's unit has no issues with tilt. Some units are negligible and others horrible. Leads me to believe it's got to be some sort of hardware limitation/issue passing QC. Maybe it's the small gimbal? But that being said I had the...

    Tilted horizon

    You reference horizontal surfaces. I've done multiple calibrations on dead "level" surfaces to no avail. That being said all calibrations I've done have been indoors, away from interference ando metal always including disconnecting all electronics and wifi etc. But I wonder if it should be...

    Tilted horizon

    Yeah, I am familiar with the gimbal roll adjustment but it's never permanent. Horizon keeps changing.

    Tilted horizon

    Rclbud, are you referring the the firmware update on 3/2/17? If so I had a Magic prior to this with horrible tilt issues and have since returned it. I'm chatting with DJI now and they advise they are working on another FW update that is supposedly addressing the tilted horizon. Smoke in mirrors?

    Tilted horizon

    Wondering if the latest Mavic Pro update improved/fixed the proverbial gimbal tilt. I've been through 2 Mavic quads now both with terrible tilt regardless of all the calibrations and troubleshooting. Some say it's the sensors and accelerometers calculating new definitions of where "down" is...
