    Hi all,

    I was looking for some help. I'm flying a movi pro on an alta 8. When the drone is static or if it's doing straight forward pushes or backwards pulls the horizon is fine. However, if I dolly left or right (especially with speed), the horizon will slip and go canted. Once motion stops it will level back out. I've tried tuning it out with settings to no avail. If anyone has any input on how I can remedy this it would be much appreciated.

    What is your Heading Assist set to?

    I believe I had it in GPS but can verify for certain Monday. It’s my understanding that any setting aside from GPS would exacerbate the horizon slipping.

    We fly our Pro 99% of the time and never use GPS due to the mentioned issues. We sometimes use compass assist but often find it has its own issues like pan drift and sometimes just going a bit crazy, with the roll axis just doing what it wants. This is after calibration and setting the right declination. We have none of these issues with heading assist off but then the horizon does not hold too well. I’ve actually sent a support ticket today to Freefly about this so I’ll let you know how I get on.
