Thought I'd share a quickly put together video from the other week.

Was flying after my "disaster takeoff" (I made a post about it) to make sure everything was still good.

Minding my own business when all of a sudden, :)

Well, that was cool. Great place to fly too.

wow - he was getting really close to you. someone posted on here once that if you think someone's trying to crash your drone, you can loosely tape fishing string to hang way down from your drone. then if anyone comes at you, you can fly that into their props to disable them. i used to think that would work, but then i got fishing line in my props and it just kept flying. so not sure what your best move is.
 
Hi fasted.
I'm sure you're aware that your horizon is not level, but something else seems wrong too.
The movement of your gimbal seems unnatural to me. It seems very unstable and wobbly.
I at first thought you maybe had an early generation phantom, but your other posts seem to be about a P3pro.

Nope, just the horizon issue, that's it. Nice, smooth, looking good...
 
So how can I deal with this horizon issue, I see it on my other video I posted too, or am I screwed
 
Your horizon is out on that one to, but the gimbal looks stable.
I think the problem on the first video is exasperated by your edit. You always seem to cut to a new scene whilst turning. It would be good to see an unedited portion that includes a few turns.

Don't see any problem with it TBH...
 
A gimbal calibration on a flat surface might help.
I think you can adjust it in flight with gimbal roll in the go app as a temp fix.
