All I'm having a little issue, when I start video and pan around the Level of the gimbal (horizon) seems to drift off then back again very slowly, and sometimes it will not recover.
Do you think i need to adjust the Gimbal sensitivity? I calibrate the gimbal almost every flight and get the same result.
What do you think?
 
That sounds like a bad gimbal. I assume you already ran the gimbal calibration (not that it's likely to help)? I'd contact support on that one first thing.

Below is my issue, this was happening before the latest Firmware up date, I tried to do a "Gimbal Automatic Calibration" still the same issue. as well as Adjusted the Gimbal Pitch EXP Sensitivity knowing it would have no change with the Roll issue I'm having. I did a Compass and IMU Calibration with no change.
Below is a link to 2 videos, one is a screen recording and the other is the Video from the SD card.

Marty, does the gimbal display the same dipping if you pan at a more appropriate (slower) speed? You would never pan that quickly for usable footage, IMHO.
Added 2 more Videos to the folder that shows the issues, Its the same for Still images also, I have to adjust in post, which is not a show ending thing for Still imagery but for Videos its a pain waiting for the Gimbal to settle every time I change direction no matter how fast I Turn around around.

I will call into @advexure in a little while when the tech support starts work.
 
It does look like the roll motor is a little weak. But even in the last video, you start off slow and ramp up speed pretty quickly. The only time I pan that quickly is just changing direction, not filming. I will try and get mine up today for comparison but it's supposed to be raining. The "rule of thumb" for cinema panning is to take 7 seconds to completely move across the field of view.

I will get out and get a slower Video to demonstrate the issue at a very slow speed.
The issue is when changing direction with any other Aircraft (Blade qx 350, to my DJI Spark, to the Mavic 2 Pro) I did not have this issue in the least.

I'm trying to get this to work so I can go out and do some work and not have to struggle with waiting for the Gimbal to settle every time I change directions.

Looks like if I yaw left it stays flat if I yaw right the gimbal rolls left, I got some really slow video up showing that.
