    Sweet spot firmware

    I don't know, I thought it was relevant to this thread. Personally, I'd rather read one thread with all the pertinent info, rather than many.

    Inspire 1 with X5 with Panasonic 45-175mm zoom lens ?

    Your English is fine! I have to admit, I never really considered adding weight to the sides of the camera, the minimal lever arm means adding a lot of weight. I've actually have been playing around with little 1/4x1/4" cubes of tungsten. Turns out they super glue together pretty well which...

    Inspire 1 with X5 with Panasonic 45-175mm zoom lens ?

    Pictures look decent, but as with the 45-175 video is probably too shaky to use. Apparently tungsten putty is a thing.

    Inspire 1 with X5 with Panasonic 45-175mm zoom lens ?

    I was able to grab a copy of the 40-150 for myself. The good: It autofocuses! The bad: Super front heavy. Extended much past 60mm it is off balance with all the weights that balance my 45-175 perfectly. I don't know how to add more weight since there just isn't any more room to attach...

    Inspire 1 with X5 with Panasonic 45-175mm zoom lens ?

    40-150 or 45-150? Which exact lens? Maybe I need one. What aperture range? Is the max 3.5 or 4? I was thinking that the 45-175 might not AF because its f4 max.

    Inspire 1 with X5 with Panasonic 45-175mm zoom lens ?

    I haven't used it to take pictures of a test chart, but I haven't noticed barrel or pincushion distortion. I'm sure it does exist, I think most M43 cameras automatically correct for it. Obviously DJI didn't care too much about this particular lens. So while the camera may not correct for it...

    Inspire 1 with X5 with Panasonic 45-175mm zoom lens ?

    Yes, it is too bad AF doesn't work, manual focusing is a PITA.

    Inspire 1 with X5 with Panasonic 45-175mm zoom lens ?

    Ha! Well, while the added weight is indeed significant it still pales in comparison to the overall weight of the I1. I've not noticed a difference in flying time (I'm sure there is some), but I haven't really tested.

    Inspire 1 with X5 with Panasonic 45-175mm zoom lens ?

    I've done this and it requires quite a bit of balancing. Would be easier with something heavier than lead. Gold would be perfect! After its balanced, I haven't seen any problems, the gimbal seems happy. Video is nearly impossible due to vibrations, but photos work well. The main problem is...

    Inspire 1 with X5 with Panasonic 45-175mm zoom lens ?

    Yes, you can zoom in and out. Did the autofocus work in an older firmware?

    Light.

    Locks fine on my x5. When unlocking and removing the lens, if you rotate the wrong way you will have to go nearly all the way around, but it comes off just fine.

    Laowa 7.5 light + x5

    You can use it just like any other lens. For the versions without a cpu & contacts, just be sure to set the aperture you want and pre-focus before taking off. Pretty much just set the lens to infinity. I thought having to do this would be a PITA, but it's super easy to do and you don't have...

    No idea, send me one and I'll let you know ;)

    Laowa 7.5 light + x5

    Yes, works fine, but the X5 will report it doesn't detect lens (since the lens doesn't have any contacts). Just add a 46-67mm Aluminum Step-Up Ring to the front to balance, and you're golden.
