DJI announcement: Zenmuse X5 and X5R
- Thread starter clackey
- Start date
Exactly what I am. I am ready to order the X5 no R, or even get the Inspire 1 Pro and have two Inspires, but paying $6500 for a camera is too much. I remember paying that much for a 1Dx body but the 1Dx body is not going to fly away on its own one day or crash down on the ground.
If you are using this for business, just lease it, why buy it? This whole system will be out of date in 18 months anyways. Inspire 5????
Exactly, just lease this stuff and in 18 months we will be flying the Inspire 3,4,5 ???????
I am a professional and always bought the drones, but I heard others speak about leasing.
My question is, where would you get a leasing for an Inspire? The dealer? The bank? Who will be taking the equipment back after 18 months when it is obsolete? What are the typical conditions if I want to give it back after a month?
Any hints will be much appreciated!
About the camera, I think the prices is quite good considering it comes with the gimbal and it is specially designed for flying, meaning you will be able to fly longer and faster.
The X5R is quite expensive but it will al depenend on whether your clients will value that and be willing to pay for it. Doing the math, the 512Gb SSD will be full after 28 mins of recording, which is short but OK i guess
I fly over water a lot, so switch the SD card at the same time as the battery, so if I lose the bird totally, at least I don't lose all the day's footage. Switching SSD's at each change is going to be expensive!! But then so is the whole setup in reality. I guess it's just another business expense really.

That's an excellent idea, switching SD card and battery at the same time. What size SD card do you use?
Have you guys figured out where we can check the price / buy the X5R?! Not seeing any options on their website, just for the X5.
B&H has pre-orders:
X5R camera with no lens: $4,999 USD.
X5R camera with DJI 15mm (30mm equivalent) lens: $5,499 USD
