FLIR ZENMUSE X5S Aerial Camera

Zenmuse X5S

Featuring M4/3 CMOS sensor, the Zenmuse X5S supports up to 20.80 MP still photo capture. It is capable of capturing 5.2K 30fps CinemaDNG video and Apple ProRes Video as well as 4K 60fps using H.264. The Zenmuse X5S is built using the M4/3 interchangeable lens standard. A variety of shooting modes, including single shooting, burst shooting and interval shooting, provide more options of capture. Burst and AEB is available, with up to 14 stills.

When the DJI CINESSD™ is in use, the Zenmuse X5S is able to record lossless videos with a bitrate of 5.2 Gbps in the CinemaDNG format or capture DNG stills at 20fps continuously. The optional DJI kit lens is 15mm f/1.7 ASPH (equivalent to 30mm in 35mm format) with a 72-degrees field of view. Supported Lens details refer to Page 5 of Supported Lenses for the Inspire 2.

When mounted on the Inspire 2, the 3-axis gimbal provides a stable platform for the camera to get clear shots even during rapid maneuvering. The gimbal tilts the camera across a -130° to +40° pitch angle and pans ± 320° in both directions. Live HD video from the camera is streamed to the DJI GO 4 app.

Enhanced Camera Stabilization

Stabilizing the Zenmuse X5S is a highly optimized 3-axis gimbal with pinpoint-precise motor rotation with a control accuracy of ±0.01° powered by a dedicated processor. Rather than rely on electrical slip rings – as is common with many gimbals – the Zenmuse X5S uses a unique mechanically limited design and concealed wires to ensure more stable data transmission and greater durability. Vibration is eliminated using three damping balls and a lightweight damping board, creating seamlessly smooth video. 360° rotation remains possible through gimbal rotation and smooth aircraft yaw. Stable, smooth footage¹ can be captured even when using a 90mm² lens.
