X5 on DJI Osmo

[Tex]

Hey to all.

DJI announced release of special X5/X5R-mount plate for OSMO(provides in stock with X3 camera).

It's hard not to notice that plates and mounts of X3 and X5 are almost the same as well as lock system.
I've tried to mount my X5 from Inspire to Osmo. Well, it suits, but lock doesn't work properly(half of the way). Anyway, it seems solid.

But I didn't turn it on. Little bit scary of possible consequnces))

So, can you tell me, will it work that way? Didn't find any info in the web. Only DJIs footage of X5R on Osmo.

See the Osmo forum section. Using the X5 on it precisely requires that adapter that isn't available yet.

Autofocus works well on osmo with X5. IOS app is better than android app when a user x5 on osmo


Added my own party. used X5 on OSMO in a few weeks

At @airdrone ----how'd you do that? Thought the x5 needed an adaptor....

I don't think the X5 locks into and makes contact with the pins on the Osmo handle without an adapter. Mine didn't. I think airdrome probably made an adapter the allies the pins to make contact.

When airdrone said, "added my own party", I think he/she meant "added my own part."

 

[AJW]

@InterMurph i think your right, i thought he was having a one man party with his OSMO

sorry my English! I just modified my osmo so that it fits the X5 and X3. It is very easy to do. I did this because I did not bother to wait for adapter plate of DJI.

X5 is fantastic on Osmo. But slightly shorter battery life. But I will order adapter plate when it arrives. But incredibly fun to test the X5. NB My Osmo is the last batch from DJI. Ordered Osmo without Gimbal.

Any chance you could show a few pics of the adapter you made? Was it hard to build?

No, Easy to make. loos aluminum top. Cut the approximately 2-3mm with sandpaper rough. sandpaper P120

Are those bits we could find as well? Parts from DJI or home made?

Thx!

I loosened the screws and drop it down itself. have nothing to say for functionality. I am satisfied so that I can use both X3 and X5 on my OSMO

What "bits"? All he did was grind down the top 2mm or so of the existing ring.

Gotcha. I couldn't tell if it was a sandwiched connector plate or not.

Thx!

just unscrew 4 screws, then the aluminum plate loose

Airdrone, nice job on making it work. I am actually surprised that it functions. I have to assume that the X3 and X5 function using the same OS. Do you have AF and focusing?

I've been assuming that the adapter will be a bit more complicated and the center the weight directly over the handle and have a clip for the back of the X5 mount as is found on the Inspire.
