I love the camera. Amazing photos and extremely easy to use. I also purchased the Panasonic 14-42 zoom lense that’s works great.

Very impressed with the build quality and performance. One small annoyance, the case it comes in is extremely oversized and mostly empty space but not usable space.

Pricey but excellent camera for Inspire 2. I hope DJI release an affordable Osmo for x5s to make the most of our investment

Experience the pinnacle of aerial imaging with the Zenmuse X5S 20.8MP Camera and 3-Axis Gimbal Lens, a professional-grade tool designed to elevate the capabilities of the DJI Inspire 2 drone. With an upgraded Micro 4/3 sensor, this camera boasts a remarkable dynamic range of 12.8 stops, ensuring that every frame captures the nuances of light and shadow with exceptional clarity. The enhanced signal-to-noise ratio and color sensitivity surpass that of its predecessor, the X5R, allowing for pristine image quality even in low-light conditions.
The Zenmuse X5S is not just about stills; it's a powerhouse for video production. Utilizing the advanced CineCore 2.0 image processing system integrated within the Inspire 2, it records cinematic 5.2K 30fps CinemaDNG video and Apple ProRes video, as well as 4K 60fps using H.264 and 4K 30fps using H.265, both at a high bitrate of 100Mbps. This camera is built to meet the demands of high-end professional aerial imaging, offering continuous DNG burst shooting at 20fps with 20.8MP images for capturing fast-moving subjects with ease.
The Zenmuse X5S's compatibility with up to eight standard M4/3 lenses, ranging from 9mm-45mm (18mm-90mm on a 35mm camera), provides filmmakers and photographers with unparalleled creative freedom. The ability to switch lenses brings a new level of versatility to aerial cinematography, allowing for a wide array of shot compositions.
With the separation of the CineCore 2.0 image processing system from the camera, the Inspire 2 ensures that the sensor and optical system are shielded from magnetic interference caused by the processor. This innovative design, coupled with a quick-release connector, makes the camera system not only secure but also easily adaptable to different shooting scenarios.
The Zenmuse X5S's improved Micro 4/3 sensor captures more detail with a pixel size of 3.4m, delivering 20.8-megapixel images that are rich in detail and color. The array of compatible lenses opens up a world of possibilities for capturing breathtaking aerial shots with Hollywood-grade video quality.
Efficiency is key in professional workflows, and the Zenmuse X5S excels in this regard. The DJI CINESSD card and optimized file system enable rapid transfer of footage to a computer without the need for additional software, supporting both CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes post-processing workflows.
Capture stunning 20.8MP stills at 14fps in Burst Mode or 20fps continuous DNG Burst Mode using the DJI CINESSD, without interrupting video recording. The camera's stabilization is managed by a highly optimized 3-axis gimbal, ensuring smooth, stable footage even with longer lenses.
Finally, the Zenmuse X5S offers long-range camera and focus control via the DJI GO app, allowing for precise adjustments to focus, aperture, and format from distances up to 4.3mi (7km). For those seeking even finer control, the optional DJI Focus integrates seamlessly, providing professional focus control without the need for additional cables or motors.
Elevate your aerial photography and videography with the Zenmuse X5S and capture the world from above with unparalleled quality and flexibility.
