My P3A is slowly recovering from it's run in with a tree. Everything is back together, new gimbal cables, etc. installed and everything works. Problem I'm dealing with now is leaning verticals in the imagery. Check out the house at the left side of the attached image. The house really doesn't lean to the left! in other images, verticals on the right side lean to the right! Focus across the image appears to be sharp, so I'm not sure what's going on. The gimbal did break loose when the bird 'landed'. No, I haven't done an IMU and Gimbal cal yet, the bird is sitting right now in the basement on a spot the I've used a carpenter's level to make sure it is level. As soon as the bird cools a bit, I'll do the calibration, although I'm not sure how that could cause the problem that I'm seeing. Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Start with the recalibration. If this does not solve your issue you could use the Go app's software to simply correct this manually.

There's nothing to calibrate.
Mapmaker is correct.
What you see is due to the way a wideangle lens deals with perspective.
Go out and take a few more test photos at different heights and angles and look at them before you decide there is a problem.
Getting dark now, but I plan to take the same shots with my other phantom tomorrow for comparisons. You guys may be right that there's nothing wrong, but after a crash, I'm super critical as I evaluate things. Thanks again for all the comments.
