    Did an autotune and when I initialize the gimbal it flips up side down with the sensor on the top bar and the camera faces the rear.

    Any settings that I need to change in the Configurator to fix this?

    I had it suspended when I turn on the gimbal. I tried it again on the ground and now it's working fine.

    Are you sure you had it balanced properly? Did it flip while doing the autotune or before?

    Chris did you hold onto the pan axis when you turned it on while suspended?

    I got an email from Brad at FF that reminded me that if you power on the MōVI with the lens straight up or straight down, it could initialize to the inverted rear-facing position. Is this likely to have happened here?

    I was not holding the pan axis at the time. I had the booms of the octo supported by bar stools while the gimbal was suspended.
