I'm reaching out to you knowledgeable guys to find out if there is a way to re-calibrate the tilt control slider on the st16s. Here is the issue. After unpacking and inspecting aircraft and controller, after batts were charged, I took here on her maiden flight and noticed the camera would not come to level after powering up. I searched through the forums and noticed there is no gimbal calibration on the H+, that I could find. So I bring up the monitor for the controller and I see the slider will only go halfway and no further. Is there a way to correct this ( other than replacing the slide control)?

There should be a setting's on the controller on the right for calibration for the drone and camera
Can you provide a little more info? On the st16s there is no gimbal calibration, and I don't know how to access the controller calibration

You're showing me pictures of the st16 for the H480 Typhoon, I am talking about the st16s that comes with the Typhoon H+ which is far different than the st16. I have 2 H480s and have those all dialed in. I just need to get the st16s dialed in.

That problem would be corrected by a calibration of the ST16s.
See post #18 below.

Thanks Steve Carr, I thought there was a way to calibrate but I didn't know for sure, but sounds like the factory reset may be a last resort, I will be trying Yuneec CS tomorrow.
Obviously this is a new aircraft. Where did you buy it?
Yuneec will want you to send it in for service. That is the least desirable approach.
I bought it refurbished off of ebay from Genuine Authentic Deals for a great price, maybe it wasn't such a great deal after all, but camera issues aside, I love the stability of this aircraft and the responsive controls especially in sport mode.
I suggest getting in touch with them for a possible exchange. I have heard they are a reputable dealer. It would be much faster than trying to get it repaired at Yuneec.
I do have a message in to them and awaiting response. But I was curious to see if anyone had this same issue and how they had resolved it. I know that it can take some time going through Yuneec
This is the first time I've seen a problem that requires the ST16 calibration. I'm guessing that someone did the cal prior to the firmware update that added the password protection. It's exactly the reason the password was added. Way too many people do the cal incorrectly and cause a problem rather than fix one.

Have you checked how the gimbal controls S1 & K2 look and respond to input in the Hardware monitor? That would be the the 2nd thing I would check, after confirming both controls are in the correct position.
Do you have any control over the tilt? Does the red dot on the tilt indicator (far right of ST16S screen) correspond to the position of the camera?

There is a way to calibrate your controller without doing a factory reset. Follow the pictures below and you will get there really easy. Do not touch anything else in less you are a professional and you know what you do. That is a warning.
P.S. When you do the calibration make sure the tilt and the speed knobs are in the middle position before you start the calibration.

Thanks to all that responded with help, I thank you. I would also like to report that I believe the issue is resolved. After seeing some of the posts I find that the calibration menu is the same for the st16s as it is for the st16. Just a little different to find, so I find it and redo the calibrations and restored the travel on the tilt slider. Hopefully this evening I can make sure it is working properly.
Top right corner were your apps are there should a android called flight controller, i had same problem you can calibrate from there.
