Zenmuse X5 Prices
There are two options for purchasing the X5.
Firstly - the full package, which includes the Micro Four Thirds camera, 3-axis gimbal and DJI lens.
Secondly - the camera package, which includes just the X5 camera and 3-axis gimbal.
If you already own some MFT lenses you may be better off purchasing the X5 without lens.
Zenmuse X5 vs Zenmuse X3
As the image on the left shows, the DJI Zenmuse X5 represents a big improvement on the technology used in the X3.
The Micro Four Thirds sensor in the X5 gives it much greater clarity in both stills and video when compared with the X3.
Accessories and Add On Functionality
The Zenmuse X5 is an extremely versatile camera and gimbal.
Using the X5 Adapter you can use this camera system with the Osmo too.
The DJI Focus Controller can also be used with the X5 and the Osmo using the Osmo X5 Adaptor Cable.
If you're using a standard Inspire 1 (v1) and want to use the X5, you'll need to upgrade to the X5 vibration absorbing board.
If you want an all in one solution - the Inspire 1 Pro includes the X5 and the Inspire 1 V2 quadcopter.
