The images are excellent. I agree but if you need audio this product is not for you. The cooling fan makes such noise that audio is unusable. DJI recommends directional mics (extra cost) and so on. But I haven't made that work either. Please check the forums and other info before buying.

We purchased the X5 as an upgrade to the original X3 which was not all that great to begin with. The quality of the X5 is a big improvement over the X3. The images are crisper and clearer but still lack super sharp detail when zooming in. Considering the platform and the overall cost this was a worth while investment for us until we can justify making the jump to a haxa or octo copter with a full frame camera.

I use this on an Osmo Handle. The learning curve is high but with practice and patience you can deliver stunning buttery smooth video. Great product. A little more temperamental than the X3 (you have to worry about balancing the gimbal, etc) but better image quality and much more control of the camera once you come up the learning curve, use the right lenses and filters, etc.

Reduced Compression for Amazing Details
The Zenmuse x5R gives you lossless 4K RAW video and crystal clear 16 megapixel photos. No other dedicated aerial camera can capture the same level of detail in every frame and every shot, even at distances that defy the imagination.
Revolutionary Sensor
Built inside the Zenmuse x5R is a powerful Micro Four Thirds sensor that's absolutely revolutionary for an aerial camera. With a sensor eight times the size of that in the previous x3 camera included with the Inspire 1, this new MFT sensor enables high quality, high sensitivity image recording at an ISO range of 100-25600. With a sophisticated balance of high-resolving power, accurate gradation and low noise, you are realizing your artistic and creative vision as never before.
Built for the Sky
To create the first fully integrated, professional aerial imaging system, the Zenmuse x5R was engineered and designed from the very beginning to be perfectly compatible with the Inspire 1, DJI's most advanced quadcopter. With 360 degree camera movement and dual controller support, the Inspire 1 is the favorite ready-to-fly aerial platform for enthusiasts and professionals worldwide. Now, with a simple installation procedure, you can upgrade the camera on your Inspire 1 to the Zenmuse x5R, vastly increasing its imaging capabilities while retaining its ease of use and reliability.
Complete Control
With the Zenmuse x5R, you have an unprecedented level of control right at your fingertips.

With the Zenmuse x5R, DJI has brought the power of RAW to a dedicated aerial camera for the first time. Capable of recording 4K (3840 x 2160) videos in RAW at up to 30fps, the Zenmuse x5R gives you the ability to capture every video with all of its original data intact, giving you complete control to edit every single frame in post as a RAW file. Coupled with a maximum bitrate of an astonishing 2.4Gbps, the 4K videos recorded by the Zenmuse x5R will amaze you with a level of detail and clarity that's absolutely unmatched by any other aerial camera.
Brilliant Photographs
Thanks to its large MFT sensor, the Zenmuse x5R is capable of producing print-ready 16 MP still frames with an incredible amount of details. With high quality, high sensitivity image recording capabilities, the Zenmuse x5R captures photographs, in both JPEG and RAW, that will meet the highest of standards. The extra pixels (25% increase over the original Inspire 1 camera) not only provide you with more detailed images, but also more room to work with in post-processing. P/S/A/M shooting modes are all available, providing you with the freedom to shoot the way you want.
World-leading Stabilization
Perfectly integrated with the camera, a 3-axis gimbal utilizes DJI's world-leading stabilization technology to automatically stabilize your camera in flight. This gimbal communicates constantly with the aircraft as you fly and powerful brushless motors instantly respond to every minor movement to keep the camera level, even when capturing long exposure or time-lapse content. So focus on what you want to shoot, knowing that the resulting footage will be stable and ready to use.
Interchangeable Lens Mount
As the world's first Micro Four Thirds camera made specifically for professional aerial photography and videography, the Zenmuse x5R gives you the freedom to choose your lens. By utilizing the standard MFT mount, the Zenmuse x5R is well positioned to benefit from new products and innovations from major lens manufacturers. Currently, there are three prime lenses compatible with the Zenmuse x5R. With different specifications but the same top-notch quality, these three lenses provide you with a great level of flexibility.
