What other zoom alternatives are available for I1

Wondering what else is out there aside from z3 and x5. In Texas here
None (other than X5R).
As per DJI's website

X3, Z3, X5, X5R and XT.


Moved thread to correct section
 
I meant 3rd party cameras. Exploring the outside world. Wondering why some electrical engineers haven’t diagnosed a retrofit of say a z30 or something.
 
If you become successful in the z30/I1 quest, please then spend some time with a z30/I2 hookup. I would buy into that one.
 
DJI products are so highly engineered that reverse engineering them is pretty much impossible in any economically viable way. And investing that effort to produce a 3rd party camera for an end of life craft ( the I1) is a complete non starter.
 
The I1v2 payload limits would be exceeded by the Z30 most likely... I think it exceeds the X5R weight by a good margin.

Again weight would be an concern, but you'd be further ahead balancing an electronic MFT zoom lens for the X5 / X5R. Several threads on larger zooms balanced & mounted to the X5.

Nothing will reach the Z30 30x - 6x total 180x total zoom range... but I think I've read some have mounted something in the 210 focal range.
