My camera tilt percentage is off. When I push the camera tilt center button it takes it to 50% but the camera is then still looking down somewhat. Manual adjusting it to around 30% makes the camera level. How do I fix this? Thanks.

It sounds like your camera mount was attached off-center to the servo (sorry about that!).

There are two options to fix this:

- in software (easy method): In QGC _Vehicle Setup_ (click the gears icon), _Camera_ tab, you can adjust the tilt servo minimum signal and maximum signal to change the midpoint to the appropriate signal. The default min/max is 1100/1900. You may adjust these numbers in the range of ~800-2200. This method might leave you with a reduced range of motion.
- in hardware: you will need to remove the camera mount from the servo, then center the servo with the tilt center button, then reattach the camera.

Thanks I remounted the camera to the servo, but in doing so I noticed another issue. With the camera out of the housing I can hear that the servo is constantly humming. I think there is an issue with the servo itself. It does not shut off all the way after. I cycled the power a few times and on a couple occasion the camera would not move at all.

The hum is normal, that’s the servo ‘servoing’.

What I mean is it is humming when it is not moving.

Thanks I never noticed the humming before except when it was moving. Now I can’t help but hear it. Just want to make sure that was normal.
