Gimbal doesn’t stay level during flight

bOogErSuGar75 · Dec 11, 2018

Hey everyone!! Didn’t know if this has been discussed or not but my gimbal will not stay level during flight. It starts off level but as the flight goes on it will tilt. I have to land and preform a gimbal calibration in order to fix it. Seems to be fine after that. Any thoughts? And also, what altitude should I see level horizon? Maybe a dumb question but worth a shot.

Forgot to add that I have a mavic 2 pro. Running the latest firmware.

If need be you can adjust the gimbal during the flight, although that doesn't address why it's happening.

Yes and I have. When I adjust it during flight, I have to adjust it to -1.3 to get it back level. Which bums me out..lol. I can land and do the gimbal calibration and everything seems fine after that. Not a big issue but just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. Not sure if this issue came with one of the firmware updates or not.

Same thing was happening to me on every drone and handheld gimbal.

I read on this forum that when it happens you should be able to adjust while in the air, and thereafter be good to go. You shouldn't have to land it.
This video shows how you can adjust by an the C2 button and the exposure dial. He speaks to this at mintue 1:30
