Camera horizon level problem

[AR886]

Hi guys,

I have a problem when I am filming with my Inspire 2 with X5S gimbal. No matter what lens I use, when I am sending my Inspire to the right, the horizon level goes crazy. You can see what I am talking about in the example video I've uploaded.

How can I solve this problem?

It's a known issue with the Inspire 2. I've owned 4 I2 aircraft with both the X5S and the X7. They all exhibit this. The only way to fight it is to run dual operator and have the left stick for the camera operator set to roll. Then the operator can fine tune the roll during the pan. If you're running single operator/pilot then you will have to plan to level the horizon in post so shoot a little wider and punch in to level it when editing.

This is a big issue for an expensive drone. I've "played" with Phantoms (all versions) and this never happened to me.

One thing which seems to help a bit is a cold IMU calibration.
The drone MUST stay completely motionless without hand support in each position for a few seconds before moving it to the next position. You might need to support it with heavy books over the legs to secure it in sideway position. This is crucial for succesful and effective calibration.
