When I set mine on a table, I get X: -.04 Y: 0.00 Z: -1.07 When I shift it onto the edge of a table so it isn't propped up by the camera lens cover, the numbers stay essentially the same, although X does fluctuate down to the -.02 to -.03 range. All of that said, for my purposes that seems to be more than close enough.
