OK, I've seen people mention this problem in the past but it doesn't seem like there's a firm solution/fix for this. The newer drones with 3-axis gimbals make for very steady pics and video, but the tilted horizon would drive me to desperation. There are four factors I can think of that could cause this:
1. IMU drift causing the zero reference to change.
2. Count loss in the gimbals causing it to drift.
3. Deflection of the mount.
4. Rounding error in the control software.
Of these the two that seem most likely are IMU drift and loss of counts in the gimbals so running the IMU calibration more frequently as well as gimbal calibration should, I think, solve most of the problem. I do not yet have my I1 (next month) so I wonder if those that have had this problem can provide an update.
Lastly, is this issue common to both the X3 and X5 mounts?
