All the shots were great. The colors, great! The night shots were amazing. The one that surprised me me the most was the blue lights on the structures and the reflection off the water.
Great review. Personally I dont mind having to switch lenses out from the ground. My biggest inconvenience is that it doesn’t have continuous autofocus since I am always flying solo.
To resolve the optical zoom lens they just need to increase the strength of the gimbal because a DL mount zoom does exist the 17-28mm for the ronin 4D, but that lens is 2x the weight of even the 75mm DL and if the zoom range was further than that it'd weigh even more. The way around it would be then be an even larger drone to accomodate the new gimbal design etc, but that'll then make the new inspire even more of a chore to take around or they can design it as a cinelifter but then comes the exchange on battery life to power 4 more motors.
That’s the cool thing I miss about the X5s being a micro four thirds camera is being able to throw an Olympus 45 1.8 and having an effective 90mm reach. Cheers Billy. I’m still waiting for a nice used $11k Inspire 3 to jump into that full frame goodness
Optical zoom is one of the reasons why I'm still rocking my Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom combo vs going to the Mavic 3 series for my drone work 👍🏿👍🏿 That I3 footage is awesome but overkill for most of my work
"It would be great if we had an optical zoom lens paired with a larger sensor." It's almost like you have a good idea what's coming in a future drone. Hmmmmm...
Thanks Billy. Awesome. You are an inspiration. Keep it up. So technically speaking, couldn't you have used the Air 3 , Air 3s or the Mavic 3 pro to have captured this? Although the inspire is my dream drone, but for this job, I reckon the drones mentioned earlier in my submission could have also equally gotten the job done. But like you said, they wanted the Big boys to brought in. The ego environment.
He needed the reach of the 75mm so he didn’t have to get too close to the helipad.. the Best Buy drones could have digitally zoomed but it would have looked like garbage..
That Bridge/Train shot looked almost CGI it was so clear & detailed
This lens is also amazing for the Ronin4D 8K. I’ve had it for about a month and love it! 🔥🔥

Those night shots are just mindbogglingly awesome!

I did shot using a Wescam rig back in the '80's and used a 25-250. Gave me lots of options
The news lens looks great. But I agree, what I really need is optical zoom lens with a good image sensor. Great video, thanks for sharing.
That are some epic shots. Well done
Great review I have just gotten my Inspire 3 and was looking at this lense.

I see a spot at the bottom of most shots. Just left of center. What is that? Dirt on the sensor or something in the lens.
New favorite lens
You have a mark on your sensor in some of the clips. More or less on the bottom left of the frame.
Thank you for the review though! 🎉

Praying for a 200mm one day

Yup, Optical Zoom!
waiting for a MAVIC 3 Zoom with at least a smaller 1 inch sensor to still not knock the MAVIC 3 PRO's
The first video of the year
