GoPro video crooked

[dirtyvu]

So I was playing back some footage I recorded with my GoPro Hero 4 Black with the 3DR Solo and the video is crooked. The horizon is not level. The building I recorded looks like it's crooked. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Can you upload the video? Are you using a gimbal or the static mount?

 

[dirtyvu]

I can upload some raw footage I guess after I shrink it down to 1080P or so.

Yes, I'm using the gimbal.

It finally dawned on me to take a screenshot rather than upload a huge video...

That will be the fisheye effect of the standard lens

It does look a bit crooked. Maybe recalibrate level.

I've used GoPro's for 3 years now and I've never had this. It was set to medium rather than wide and it was also cropped post-effects to minimize lens distortion.

is that the thing where you lay the drone on its side?

Yes

 

[dirtyvu]

Yes

I guess I can make it a habit to do that before any video shoot just in case.

Here's an early cut only for friends:

Did you over stabilize this in Adobe? That usually causes thing to dance like the building does.

 

[dirtyvu]

I didn't use any stabilization in Adobe.

 

[David Boulanger]

OK. The building moving around just looked a bit strange

I sped up and slowed down the video. The momentum causes it to wobble
