    X5S ND filters weight

    I use the 9-18mm all the time with the appropriate dji counter weight. I use 52mm B+W NDs which are a bit heavy but i velcro an additional weight to the back of the camera, (2 quarters gafftaped together) and a weight on the side of the tilt axis (2 quarters gaff taped together) and i get good...

    Rental Rates with X7

    I think if anything will be released it will be in some incremental upgrade airframe similar to the i1 V2.0.

    Rental Rates with X7

    I always charge rental (own op only) on my kit for jobs . Usually somewhere around $600-$800 US a day, depending on options like dual op, extra monitors, media, batteries, backup bird, etc... I'm not sure that having the X7 is going to be able to increase the rental rate proportionately to the...

    Landing Gear Won't Pack Up

    Well here is a little update. The issue was in fact in the motor drive end stop sensor. I purchased the middle frame (part 19) and did the swap myself. I was going to send for repair but couldn't wait more than a few days and shipping to and from Hawaii is expensive. Got the part for $210...

    Landing Gear Won't Pack Up

    Do you guys sell the part ? Inspire 2 Middle Frame (Part 20) If you are somewhat confident this assembly will fix the issue I'm probably just going to buy this part and do the swap myself .

    Landing Gear Won't Pack Up

    I haven't yet, what is interesting is that when twisting the manual drive with a screwdriver while flipping the switch on the RC the legs will then run through the entire motion. - So i know the motors are working! When the legs are fully raised or lowered there is a "buzzing" which sounds like...

    Landing Gear Won't Pack Up

    Hey Guys, I2 - Got error message that landing gear won't pack up yesterday during flight and did a hand catch. (Stuck up) - Everything is on latest firmware, sounds like the servo is trying to push them down for a moment and then stops, so sounds like motor is still functioning. - Used a...

    Zenmuse X7: New 6K Super 35mm Cinema Camera! PREORDER

    The S35 sensor in the X7 is roughly the size of an APS-C Sensor, depending on what aspect ratio you record in will change this around a bit. To keep it simple just multiple all the focal lengths of these new lenses by 1.5 if you want to get the equivalent field of view of 35mm FULL FRAME.

    X7

    This is a no brainer... This is a fraction of the cost to get a real sensor in the air vs any heavy lift system. Is there any discount if buying the entire set of lenses + camera ? Do we know if orders for the full set of lenses will be filled before the individuals rolls out like they did...
