Is The Need To Adjust The Horizon Normal?

3rd day out and I see a slant on my horizon
Is it a normal thing that most people adjust?

Have you checked to see that there isn't already an adjustment applied to it? There shouldn't be but accidental and or unitended changes can be made.

Set at 0 for horizontal & Yaw
Note: Looked at manual after I clicked on Auto, so it may have reset itself.
I'll double check it when I am out again tomorrow.

Thanks

I've seen that on a couple of DJI drones. Running the gimbal calibration routine with the drone placed on a flat surface took care of it in both cases.

Tends to do it on all my drones of they didn't take off from a level surface.

I've had these from time to time, and the comments above pretty much cover it.

That's the main thing to watch out for, initialising on a flat surface before take off.
No need to take a level out with you, but close to flat is usually fine.

Photos are easily adjusted in post if needed, videos might need to be more creative, with different tilts in a video sometimes.
Usually video horizon can be off after a fast yaw, or if battling a side wind etc.

Overall though, the gimbals do a pretty good job of keeping things right.
