I just did I brief flight. At the beginning of the sequence below, the horizon is nice and level. As I tool along it tilts. There was a stiff breeze from the right and the image slowly tilted.

I get that the drone is banking to compensate for the wind - but shouldn't the camera rotate opposite?

(1.36° measured in photoshop).

It should be leveled. Reset the gimbal settings and then recalibrate the gimbal and if that does not work IMU calibration. I can't think of anything else.

Maybe someone else has a bright idea.

On DJI's apps, you should be able to use a combination of the C2 button and right wheel to adjust the roll. On Litchi, they have claimed that the DJI libraries have a bug they cannot work around; it may roll the gimbal but also adjust the exposure.

I'll try that. Thx.
 
It appears gimbals rotating while flying is well documented.

I followed the gimbal Adjustments as recommended, it's level, but soon after lift off, and i am still getting a tilted horizon.

Does anyone know if this will be resolved by DJI? Could a potential software update in the future handle it?
