I can compensate the horizon line with the gimbal roll, but I need to do it many times. I did not need to do this in my P3P. Is there something else to do, besides the Gimbal calibration procedure?
 
Try recalibrating the IMU. Some folks on here say the IMU does not effect camera/Gimbal calibration. However it does. I have corrected gimbal roll issues on many aircraft by just recalibrating the IMU. Just make sure your on a completely flat and level surface before calibration. Good luck.:cool:
 
If you do the IMU calibration, follow its completion with a gimbal calibration.
Also you may tweak the - or + roll setting. I use the on screen Grid lines to make sure everything is level with the world while it sets on my IMU table.

Looks to be a gimbal motor and sensor issue. I would check the ribbon data cable for a tear as it is exposed more now than the P3 Series.
