I have an android app called "Spirit Level" it uses phone sensors to show degrees and levels of the phone.

Suggestion: instead of calibrating and pressing fingers on the mounting grip it perhaps would be worth considerating to get the "level or degree data" via bluetooth directly from the phone... perhaps a bit work because of different phones... but perhaps easier than my previous suggestion, to use the camera and compare the angles in the picture with the roll angle settings.

@ Taolin The problem is not the phone it's a resonance problem of the gimbal.

The problem appears according to my opinion, when the back of the phone has a distance to and doesn't touch the back of the mounting.

Try it and give a note if it gets better if you to let the back touch the mounting more than you did (the video does only show the display...)

Cool to see, that the angle is horizontal, it's not with my phone yet...

Greets.

For me it's not getting better.
Video instruction did in "follow pan" mode turning left and turning right change angle much more in different directions.
Tried different points to press the finger in. For example on the outer joint, then turning left and right 90° level was ok left and right but not straight on.
So, turning left and right also changes angle of phone by some degrees in "follow pan" mode. This is weird.
Looks like 6:15 here https://vimeo.com/187616355, but perhaps optical illusion.
Also after horizintal adjustment video! Have no time to make video now.

Please show somewhere in the settings the "gimbal Mac" and "xyz g +/- weight" settings. This would be helpful as an extra line.

1) even the campaign video shows the mountage
2) there are no brakes, for motor off mode (battery on=stabilizing)
3) use external high quality mic(s)
4) sell it on ebay, if unhappy
5) watch a car commercial, they all have edited videos with background music, except formula1
6) yes, it is annoying to see things unexpected happening, that's life

Navin handbook, suggested updates:
5V USB DC >=2A adapter is essential for charging 3 batteries
(*3 on the charger at the end may be misinterpreted)

Battery status: LED <cross> flashes <2>times every....[including flashing period of 2seconds]

The battery + and - is shown under Charge Battery on the charger. Would be perfect also on install battery and hardware charger and hardware gimbal.
But ok.

Ok, i got it. My fault. Fully charged colour is also "blue".
Topic solved.

It would be great to define a permanent roll angle offset in the settings.

Did calibration, don't know if my phone is wrong, but the horizontal line seems a little bit to slope down on the left, if fixing a horizontal line.

Htc one m7, without extra weight, 145g.

Would guess it's hard calculate camera position/ phone angle with soft grips and camera far away left.

Second possibility: software does use picture mode to calculate horizontal line angle offset and puts this value under settings.

wanted 5.02 phone on gimbal.
4.2.2 phone with app beside. (Could not install).

My first android 5.02 phone could install the app.
Second phone (didn't want to type always on phone mounted on s3) did say in playstore "phone not compatible"..... Android 4.2.2 ..... resolution problem/requirements?

Hello, are there more colours then - blue (emty tray) and red (charging)....
didn't try to charge more then little above 900 mAh and emptied tray when still red colour was on it..., measured with mAh counter KCX-017.....allthough batteries weren't fully empty... Input label says 1A,....one battery shows me charging current of 0,5A / 2batteries ~1A, 3batteries ~1,5A (confusing but ok).... Oh, typing on shaking gimbal is crazy.....
