Thanks for the reply, BrenMyster. That's exactly what put me off the product - the workflow. Truly brilliant piece of design/technology completely ruined by the post-processing side of things. For the price of the product you think they'd have made it as easy as possible to process the...

Your reply was certainly much appreciated....it's great to get some insight! I was toying with buying a Sony A7R II for a short while too, but in the end my D810 will have to do (and do very well it will, too!). Thanks again.

Hi Wing Commander Smyth, thank you for your insightful reply! I've decided, at the moment, to pass on the Zenmuse X5R as the whole process would have been far too expensive. Buying the camera/gimbal wasn't too much of an issue, but it was needing to completely upgrade my PC for the post...

Thanks for the reply. I'm very disappointed at the post-production workflow of the X5R. I've read so many poor reviews. Someone at DJI should be sacked for the mess. In fact the genius that has gone in to the design and production of the camera/gimbal makes the SSD nonsense seem criminal, to be...

High price doesn't always mean a product has the most practical features. In fact, the criticisms of the Zenmuse X5R are aimed at some of the most basic of things you'd think they'd have got 100% considering it is a $4,000 MFT.

Hi Hugh, apologies....I think my explanation was a bit thin. What I meant was that on *some* videos I've seen from the X5R appear to show the camera/lens automatically changing the exposure as the camera turns, as if the user hasn't switched exposure lock on or something... I'm interested to...

Hi all, I’m making a film (combination of timelapse and video) and after much research I’ve come to the conclusion that the Zenmuse X5R (with Osmo gimbal) is my only real option considering it’s a great combination of camera/lens and gimbal. My question is, having used it in the real-world...

Thank you for the helpful reply Mad_angler1 Still deciding whether to make the purchase or not. Seems like a superb piece of kit, despite reports of a few niggles from some.

Hi all, a question, because I'm looking for some clarity. Does the Osmo handle kit work with the XR5? It's this kit: Buy Osmo - Handle Kit Thank you in advance!
