High-End Professional Aerial Imagery – One of DJI’s most powerful aerial cameras, the Zenmuse X5S is precisely engineered to deliver superb results for a wide variety of aerial photography and videography applications. Equipped with a 20.8-megapixel Micro 4/3 CMOS sensor, the X5S offers a high dynamic range of 12.8 stops, allowing it to effectively handle high-contrast scenes and capture images and videos that retain rich detail in all areas of the image. Along with a significantly improved the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and enhanced color sensitivity, the X5S produces sharp, low-noise imagery in various lighting situations, including low-light conditions.
      In addition to its impressive photography capabilities, the superior video resolution of the X5S makes it a highly effective aerial tool for professional filmmakers. With the integrated CineCore 2.0 image processing system on the Inspire 2, it can record movie-quality videos in 5.2K CinemaDNG and Apple ProRes, as well as 4K video in H.264 and H.265 (both at a bitrate of up to 100Mbps).

Key features of the DJI Zenmuse X5S:

  • Improved Micro 4/3 Sensor – 20.8 MP, 3.4μm pixel size, 12.8 stops of dynamic range, and a better signal-to-noise ratio and color sensitivity means high-quality, low-noise images, even in low light conditions.

  • Array of Compatible Lenses – Supports up to 8 professional lenses with focal lengths from 9mm-45mm (equivalent to 18mm-90mm on a 35mm camera), for more creative control over the final look of shots.

  • Hollywood-Grade Video – Uses CineCore 2.0 to record video at maximum resolution of 5.2K/30fps in CinemaDNG 12bit, 5.2K 30fps Apple ProRes 422 HQ and 4K 30fps Apple ProRes 4444 XQ (no alpha). Additional recording options include video in 4K/60fps using H.264 or oversampling video in 4K/30fps using H.264/H.265, both with a bitrate of 100Mbps.

  • Fast, Efficient Workflows – The DJI CINESSD card (PCIe3.0 NVMe SSD support) and a highly optimized FAT32/exFAT file system, allows footage to be transferred directly through the DJI CINESSD STATION card reader to a computer at high speeds without any additional software. Footage also supports the DIT standard. CinemaDNG or Apple ProRes workflows can be used for post-processing.

  • Lossless In-Video Single and Burst Photo Capture– 20.8 MP stills can be captured at 14fps in Burst Mode in JPEG+DNG. Using the DJI CINESSD opens up 20fps continuous DNG Burst Mode with maximum image resolution of 20.8 MP. Stills can also be taken during video recording without interruption.

  • Enhanced Camera Stabilization– The X5S is stabilized by a 3-axis gimbal with pinpoint-precise motor rotation. Its unique design helps eliminate vibration and ensure stable data transmission and greater durability for creating seamlessly smooth video.

  • Long-Range Camera and Focus Control– Take control over every camera setting from afar, including focus, aperture, and format, all in the DJI GO 4 app. No additional cables or motors are needed and signals can be sent as far as 4.3mi (7km) away.
