So this thing with the gimbal just dropping what is that ALL about? I know if you have that allow upward movement option on for aiming the gimbal higher above the horizon that can affect it too. Thanks. Is this file not attaching??!
 
It's all due to the drone being able to tilt up to 40deg in both S and N modes. The gimbal can only compensate for up to 35deg tilt when you fly forward or sideways, so if you have it pointed straight ahead and fly forwards it is likely to jump down to at least -5deg. Likewise if you fly sideways the gimbal can't compensate for 40deg of roll so your horison doesn't stay level

The Mini 1 had the very same issue, but it really had to be pushed a bit to get it to happen as the max tilt in P mode (=N mode) was limited to 20deg, and in S mode 30deg.
