Thanks tcope, Did you use the manual roll adjustment, or did you shim your drone on the table when doing the auto calibration? If you shimmed it a bit while auto calibrating, did you do it for the IMU calibration, gimbal calibration or both? I was thinking of placing a couple of pieces...

Thank you phantom13flyer. If I decide not to exchange it over the next couple of days, I will definitely give this a shot.

Thanks jimerb, Unfortunately, I am finding that doing both the IMU and gimbal calibrations, will get camera close to level but not perfect. Also, I am using a perfectly flat and level surface to calibrate on. I am on my second drone and neither one of them can be "perfectly" calibrated...

I received my replacement drone and went through the cold calibration steps on the IMU and gimbal a couple of times. I placed a little 9 inch beam level one foot in front of the camera to check if the camera is tilted. It is off by .6 of a degree. Interestingly it is tilted in the opposite...

Thank you RedHotPoker, I'm glad to hear that your drone works well out of the box. I did leave the battery in my cool/cold garage, I did not realize that would be an issue. I was hoping to hear from someone without the horizon issue. I am going to follow through and get a replacement hoping for...

Thank you Oso Thank you Dirby, I left both the drone and the battery in my garage for an hour or so at ~45 degrees. It didn't seem to be any different than when I tried calibrating at room temperature. Maybe this was not cold enough?

Thank you Oso, I believe it stays level during flight, it is just off a constant degree or two. I will check it again tomorrow.

Hello everyone, I purchased a Phantom 3 Advanced last Friday and noticed on my first flight that all of my pictures and video had crooked a crooked horizon. I have tried calibrating the IMU and Gimbal multiple times over the last few days following all the recommendations of cooling the...
