Camera / gimbal problem

[andrew]

Actually, the camera is fine but the gimbal is not leveling the camera to a nice horizontal position even though the Phantom is nice and level. I've updated the firmware, I've done an advanced calibration, but still having problems. The gimbal arms are not bent, I haven't hit anything (well, I did a while ago but the gimbal and camera worked perfectly after that) and I catch by hand so landings aren't an issue.

It's almost as though the gimbal is out of alignment, but I have no idea how to 'reset it'? Thoughts?

Sorry I'm new still myself but, is the FPV feature turned off in your camera settings?

 

[andrew]

Yes, the FPV is turned off. Does it make a difference whether it's on or off when the copter is straight and level?

Ok then. I don't think so but I"m not sure. However, if you have FPV turned off and are still having issues with the gimbal/camera, then it must be something else.

Sorry I can't help anymore.

Any guesses as to whether this is mechanical or perhaps software related?

If you spend the time to read all the posts for the P2Vplus you would see that you've got one of the standard problems that a lot of people have. We have been hoping that DJI would address the issue almost since the day they released the P2Vplus. But no such luck.

Thanks for assuming I haven't at least tried to go through the forums. Appreciate your info nonetheless.

I did the fix again and it seems to be holding this time around...

Hard to believe that shaft is just press-fit with no set screw.
