Phantom suddenly tilts. Do you see this often?

[terrylowe]

First time to fly in a few weeks. Wind is about 15 miles/hr. Really stable flight until this happens. Is this common for you?

Are you sure that it was not only gimball that made that tilt? Is it happening often?

No I am not sure. I was flying FPV when the world tilted and when I looked up at the bird, it was level. This is the first time this has happened.

try having a p2 on the table powered on (without propellers) and press down gently on the gopro, untill the gimball releases its motors and than go back after a second. If it is the similar movement that you got it was probably that. Also check the cable contacts of the gimball.

Anyways, do advanced IMU calibration and compass calibration again, just in case.

Are you using a ND filter on the GoPro?

Has this problem happened more than once or was this the only time??

by the shake when it comes back, I would say it was gimbal not the phantom that tilted

It was the only time.

I will give that a try. Does pushing down on the gopro "reset" the gimbal motors?

That could have been caused by a gust of wind at the height of the quad
