..................................... Mori, somehow, your latest reply is missing... Sorry for my own NJ attitude slipping in there... Actually I read and re-read the manual. I'm that kind of guy. And I calibrated it 3 or 4 x and figured I'd call DJI. A patient guy there walked me through the...

Right. It's all in UPS' hands now. God speed, is what I say. I wrote the following reply to Mori, but somehow I wasn't signed in and it got disappeared: "Mori, sorry for my own NJ attitude slipping in there... Actually I read and re-read the manual. I'm that kind of guy. And I calibrated it 3...

Thanks, Mori55 for your NY attitude. If I had a dollar for each time I did the advanced IMU calibration I'd be rich enough to afford a Yuneec 500Q. It's pretty well known that the weak link in this Phantom IS the gimbal.

Thanks, Burlbark. Yours is the clearest explanation I've gotten. I keep getting, "read your manual", "do this or that configuration". ****, for the money and time I've spent on this quad, I at least expect it to not only fly well (which it has so far), but equally important: record flawless...

Mako79 » Tue Mar 10, 2015 8:30 pm Firstly, I think your FPV is still on. Try and disable it in the DJI app with your Smart/phone/device. You know its still on as it does NOT level/follow the horizon. Secondly, you shouldn't be seeing that Gimbal config screen unless you have a H33D installed...

Took my new Phantom2 V+ v.3 out for my 3rd flight with video and realized later that the horizon was behaving badly, that is the gimbal wasn't keeping level as the craft rolled. I checked DJI Forum's help files and saw that I should calibrate the gimbal with the Phantom2 3.8 desktop software...

Thanks, MSinger! Very clear. I'm saving this video! :)

(I posted this on the DJI site as well. Sorry to saturate the airwaves, but my new bird ain't quite right...) First flight today with my new P2V+, V.3 The wheel on the left rear of the transmitter is supposed to control the camera's up/down movements. It doesn't do anything. I tried it both on...

Thanks, Meta. It seems to be the norm-- so I'll remove the 2 stainless bolts I put in the vacant holes (joking) You've got some wonderfully exotic photos! I can't wait to get over some slight anxiety and get this camera bird aloft.

Prior to getting (today!) my new P2V+ v.3, I had a Blade 350 QX3 w. onboard camera. I noticed on it that the gimbal attaching the camera to the craft had 2 of the 4 vibration absorbers factory secured into the gimbal with plastic keepers. The other 2 were empty. I wondered why. Now that I've got...

Thanks for the UAVbits site. I ordered the setup! Been looking for a while.
