Hey Jim, I guess firmware will only help if your X5 is still on the old firmware it came with. I think DJI added 14-42 support with the appropriate lens profile somewhere in March (that was the time I got my X5 + lens), and it worked since then.

I am afraid there is not much you can do besides having all components updated to the newest firmwares. I remember my 14-42 doing this as well when I attached it for the first time. X5 was new as well, so I did a firmware update anyway and never saw the issue again.

It sure is a tight fit. I grinded off some of the zoom ring, now it fits perfectly without any friction between lens and x5.

Looks normal. The gimbal has a 0.02 degree resolution on each axis, these minor movements are visible the more you zoom in.

Plingboot, you place the filters between lens and balancing ring. All my 37 ND are double threaded, so it works just fine.

Thank you very much! I turned to do all the filming with the 14-42 as of now, even when putting the X5 on the Osmo. For me it is unbeatable to change focal length in the air - my personal killer feature. You get more artifacts vs a fixed focal lens (chromatic aberrations mostly), but it is...

Just another video I made today with the 14-42: Best, Andy

Hey all, just to add to this discussion: I did a quick ISO test from 100 - 6400, on firmware 1.4.0.70. Watch it here: So far, there seems to be no flickering anymore, light was artificial, indoors at 50hz. Best, Andy

Greetings all, I too use the 14-42 and am quite satisfied with the results. It becomes more prone to introducing jello than an wide-angle lens, but otherwise it is quite an advantage to have a controllable zoom lens on an aerial platform. Did this video yesterday:
