Getting Started

Read the information below before setting up your Zenmuse X5

Supported Devices

The Zenmuse X5 can be attached to the following device:

DJI Inspire 1

Supported Lenses for the Inspire 1

The Zenmuse X5 currently supports the following lenses, and will support more lenses in the

future.

DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH

Panasonic Lumix G Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 ASPH

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2.0

Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8 (Balancing ring will be available on the DJI Store soon)

Supported Filters

Filters must have a weight of 7-11 g, with those weighing 10-11 g performing the best.

Outside this range, the lter will decrease gimbal performance. DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH

supports lters with a size of 46mm.

The Balancing Ring must be installed on the camera lens when a lter is not used.

Supported Micro SD Cards

The Zenmuse X5 comes with a 16GB Micro SD card, but also supports Micro SD cards with a

capacity of up to 64GB. We recommend using a UHS-1 Micro SD card to minimize the delay

when reading and writing high resolution video data.

DO NOT remove the Micro SD card from the Zenmuse X5 when it is powered on.
