    DJI X5S & Panasonic GH5 - Same Sensor?

    Greetings! We've been using the DJI X5S alongside our GH5 for a lot of our recent productions, and I can't help but wonder if DJI purchased their sensors from Panasonic. The specs seem to match up rather closely, and I can't help but notice that the picture is amazing close. In post...

    Our X7 Arrived Not Working - Very Frustrated!

    I had a whole new set of problems today. With the X7 attached, the camera was stuck in “Photo” mode, and I couldn’t switch it over to “Video” mode. I power cycled numerous times with no luck. It also kept giving me “SSD Failure” warnings, as well as “SSD NOT RECOGNIZED” warnings. After 30...

    Our X7 Arrived Not Working - Very Frustrated!

    Great Point and thanks for mentioning this! Though I did exactly as directed, and still had problems. But you are correct that this is a very important step before hooking up the X7.

    X7 Gimbal Balance Problems

    Yes, that adds a whole new variable to this problem that I discovered in my extensive tests today. DJI did a good job of trying to get all the lenses to be the same weight as each other. HOWEVER, all 4 of the lenses have unique and different size/weight lens-hoods that are different from each...

    Our X7 Arrived Not Working - Very Frustrated!

    I'm so sorry to hear you're having these issues too. I just got the full kit as well with all 4 lenses. We have a critical film shoot next week so I have been scrambling to try and get mine up and running. I haven't experienced any gimbal motor problems, but I'm definitely getting the same...

    X7 Gimbal Balance Problems

    Great question. I did some extensive testing yesterday and I was getting a "Lens Not Connected" error with the 16mm lens when not properly balanced. After switching out the filters, restarting, and balancing properly, the error went away. I was also getting jittery lag when panning up and...

    X7 Gimbal Balance Problems

    After reaching out to DJI, this is the answer they provided: "We recommend to balance the gimbal by filter+ lens hood, balancing ring+lens hood or two filters without lens hood. The gimbal motor of X7 is strong enough to balance itself when power on. No worries" It's almost as if they didn't...

    X7 Gimbal Balance Problems

    Greetings. After purchasing a full X7 kit with all 4 lenses, I am finding significant gimbal imbalance problems with all 4 DL/DL-S lenses. With the lens, lens hood, and stock balancing ring attached, the gimbal is significantly back heavy. I've already spoken with a few other users who are...

    Filters for 45mm lens?

    Yes you are correct! Sorry I didn't clarify because the OP said he is using PolarPro filters. Rock On!! :)

    Filters for 45mm lens?

    With the 45mm, you shouldn't need any counter weights on it at all. I am using the aforementioned "Sensei PRO 37mm Lens to 46mm Step Up Ring" along with a PolarPro ND filter. This setup creates a perfect balance with no need to modify or tape anything to your gimbal. I currently own all the...
