Does the 35-100 lens extend when zoomed? If so, about how much is the travel?
Boy it sure would be nice to have 100mm for some shots...

I can report that the Panasonic Lumix 25mm f1.7 lens does work with the DJI X5. Has a pretty fast autofocus (for the X5) and seems to lock in pretty well. Haven't had a chance to really push it yet to see what it can do, but for less than $150.00 bucks (on Ebay) it was hard to pass up.

Hey Phil would you give further clarification to this comment. The context is adding weight to the gimbal but your solution appears to be adding weight to the lens. How does that fix the out of balance gimbal?Cheers for the advice. Sorted with step up ring and UV filter now though so no need for the coin. That was just a temporary fix for the first flight

Sure.
I placed the coin on the end of the lens to help balance the tilt axis but to help balance the roll axis I would have had to add a weight on the side of the camera/lens/gimbal. So instead of adding a second weight, i just offset the coin to one side to help balance the roll axis. Killed two birds with one stone.
It wasn't a perfect solution by a long stretch but it did the job at the time.

Yep the 45mm is becoming a favorite of mine. Fly safe everyone!!No problem, you'll love the shots you can get with the 45mm
Happy flying!
It is interesting that some folks only want the widest lens they can get while others love using tele's.
Looking forward to testing the 45.

For me it's really about what kind of shot I'm trying to get. I'm just glad we can now use a few different lenses to achieve a great end result. Really cool to see where things are headed.

I just let the 45mm sit on my inspire running for 20 minutes listening for some abnormal sounds, and it didn't make any noise. It isn't balanced, do you think it matters?

To be perfectly honest I use the 45mm lens all the time and it is slightly nose heavy although very little. I like you don't have any sounds at all and it flyes perfectly. I know the main reason we want to balance our gimbals perfectly is because if we don't it puts extra strain on the brushless motors. So if not for any other reasons but making it easier on the brushless motors, that's probably a good enough one.
Any chance you could pop this into a table form? Would be great to see at a glance what lenses work & balance needed etc
hi All,
in the original posting, I can`t find any list? Is there a way to post it again? or even updated?
I am currently using the 15 mm m.Zuiki which is fine in terms of quality, however, for multirow panoramic landscape pictures, I miss some mm wide angle? Is the 12 mm nice for pictires also? As it is just mentioned as "video must fave"
Thank yo from a newbie here

As the original list from chnjab has gone, does anyone have it and can you report it? Thanks !
Does anybody know if the Panasonic 14-42mm PZ works? It's like 2 grams heavier than the Olympus 14-42 EZ pancake lens and also a powerzoom.
Wondering the the power zoom will work in the app just as with the Olympus one.

mod should lock this thread, we have more updated thread here
Unofficial Inspire X5 compatible lens list
Panasonic pz 14-42mm wont work, the barrel is too fat and would touch the side.

If i film a lot of wake boarding with the x3 and was thinking of moving the x5, would the M. Zuiko 45mm be a good choice. What would the equivalent mm be on the x5? I know the 17mm is 30mm equivalent, so its ~1.8x on the x5 sensor?
17mm x 1.8 = ~30mm
45mm x 1.8 = ~ 81mm ?
17mm x 1.8 = ~30mm
45mm x 1.8 = ~ 81mm ?
