Overview
The Zenmuse X5 offers advanced photographers a high-performance, robust gimbal and
camera system with an M4/3 interchangeable lens. The Type 4/3 CMOS sensor supports
video recording in 4K and 16MP still photos. It can be mounted onto designated DJI devices
such as the Inspire 1.
The Zenmuse X5 lens kit comes with the DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH that provides a 72 degree
eld of view and a manually adjustable f/1.7-f/16 aperture range. The camera can shoot burst,
AEB or time-lapse in JPEG and DNG RAW, and output video in MP4 and MOV formats. Live
HD video from the camera can be viewed on your mobile device through the DJI GO app .
The 3-axis gimbal provides an incredibly stable platform for the camera to capture clear shots
even during high speed maneuvers. The gimbal tilts the camera across a -90° to +30° pitch
angle and pans a full 360 degrees, independent of its carrier’s movement.
