I do not think people/DJI will lose much sleep over the BM offering.
No 4k.
Only composite video out.
Fixed resolution.
No global shutter above 30fps.
300g without battery OR lens.
No way of interfacing into the Inspire Lightbridge system.
No way of mounting it onto the Inspire without third party gimbal, a dremmel, and some Frankenstein work.
External battery.
Can we dream!
Or do you know something you'd like to share about another 3rd party camera? I'm starting to feel like you might know something...![]()
Having said all of that though - it will no doubt give far superior images than the X5 but certainly not from the Inspire platform.
Take a look at this...
My condolences!
Hey guys,
Dave from Australia here, I have an Inspire 1 retro-fitted with the anti-vibration board, leg extensions and the X5 camera and to be completely honest I am not hugely impressed. My first flights for testing trialling the X5 vs X3 made me wonder why I spent the money. I am hoping its just like going from a point and shoot to a digital SLR camera and its about practise and settings. VIDEO HERE https://youtu.be/aNQZVTUcPpQ
Awesome shots Dave, it looks so warm there
The X5 is an a amazing piece of hardware, it's the software that bottlenecks the capabilities of this camera.
My guess is they did this on purpose to increase sales on the upcoming X5R.
I disagree, the 60 MBPS bitrate is flat out poor and the main chip is the same from go pro and x3 cameras so they are limited by that and probably could not get it this year and wanted to release something and use people as beta testers.
I think 2016 is going to be BAD year for DJI unless they really pull something out of the hat with the firmware.
The X5R is too much.
The X5 is not enough improvement for a lot more money and its being rubbished on most forums thanks to firmware, yaw problems and generally being overpriced with no obvious improvement for the main function people use it for. Taking video.
And the hero 5 is coming out and I'm sure there will be at least one other viable low cost rival this year, the X5 will probably only be what is should have been this time next year, by then DJI might have lost a LOT of customers.
I have to agree...they only needed to come out with one camera with ProRes - 422 @150mbps and a 4K mp4 codec at around 200 mbps. ...we don't need a RAW recorder on a MFT camera on a small quad....leave that for the larger platforms.
