DJI Zenmuse X5S Overview

The DJI Zenmuse X5S with MFT 15mm/1.7 ASPH Lens features a Micro Four Thirds sensor and a dynamic range of 12.8 stops with a much-improved signal-to-noise ratio and color sensitivity than the X5R. Included here are the gimbal, camera, and 15mm lens.

The new CineCore 2.0 image processing system on the Inspire 2 makes the Zenmuse X5S capable of capturing 5.2K30 CinemaDNG video and Apple ProRes video, as well as 4K60 using H.264 and 4K30 in H.265 (both at 100 Mb/s). Continuous DNG burst shooting at 20 fps with 20.8MP images is also supported. The Zenmuse X5S was designed to keep pace with the rigors of high-end professional aerial imaging.
