Zenmuse X7 (Lens excluded) × 1

The Zenmuse X7 is a compact Super 35 camera with an integrated gimbal built for high-end video production, offering extraordinary resolution and image quality. Its compatibility with the DJI Inspire 2 offers the best of next-level professional aerial cinematography. A 24MP CMOS sensor with 14 stops of dynamic range preserves particularly stunning detail and offers both 6K CinemaDNG and 5.2K Apple ProRes with support for sequential RAW photo shooting at 20 fps and 24MP.

The Zenmuse X7 also introduces the DL-Mount, the world’s first integrated aerial lens mount that allows for quick swapping between four available prime lenses. For seamless editing, a new DJI Cinema Color System preserves accurate colors for easy post-processing. These latest innovations allow filmmakers to reach new heights and capture scenes as they imagine them with the DJI Zenmuse X7.

Designed to excel

The Zenmuse X7 uses a Super 35 sensor, and its fast readout speed supports RAW output at 6K/30 fps and 3.9K/59.94 fps. The pixel size reaches 3.91 μm, and the diagonal length of the sensor is 26.6 mm during recording. A sensor of this size offers greater light sensitivity and 14 stops of dynamic range, much wider than the 12.8 stops found on the Zenmuse X5S.
Additionally, the Zenmuse X7’s SNR is 46dB, 8dB higher than the Zenmuse X5S, and the tonal range reaches 9.41 bits. All of these features provide unlimited creative options for a better workflow in the most demanding situations on set.

DJI DL-Mount System

Taking advantage of the new FSI-Cu technology, the Zenmuse X7’s sensor features a thinner interconnect, allowing the detection zone to be easily reached via a wider angle of incidence for higher photosensitivity. This allows for the use of a more compact optical medium while maintaining optimal quality.
The DL-Mount’s edge focal distance is less than 17mm, about 1/3 the size of a PL-Mount. This compact mount means the Zenmuse X7 weighs only about 630g with an included lens. Together, the Zenmuse X7 and Inspire 2 weigh only around 4kg with the ability to capture the same demanding shots as heavier rigs up to 40kg.

DL Goals

DJI offers four prime lenses for the DL-Mount system, with focal lengths from 16-50mm (35mm equivalent: 24-77mm) and resolutions up to 8K. Crafted from lightweight carbon fiber and designed by world-leading optical companies, the four lenses are equipped with advanced technologies specifically designed for the Zenmuse X7’s high-end image sensor.

Lens Technical Specifications

More creative flexibility

To unlock the full potential of the Zenmuse X7, the CineCore image processing system on the Inspire 2 has been fully updated to CineCore 2.1. It is capable of recording 6K/30fps CinemaDNG and 5.2K/30fps Apple ProRes, leaving more creative options in post-production.
A new EI mode has been integrated into CineCore 2.1, capable of recording high-quality footage at various sensitivity levels. In addition, the updated image processing system further reduces image artifacts and noise while preserving more details, adopting improved dark level correction for professional-level cinematic images.
In addition to improved image processing performance, CineCore 2.1 also features a new color system, giving professional cinematographers greater creative flexibility in post-production.

A game changer from the filming to the end

The new color system consists of a new D-Log curve and D-Gamut RGB color space. With professional cinematography in mind, D-Log can encode 15 stops of dynamic range, 2 stops more than the Zenmuse X5S. Even in low-light conditions, the Zenmuse X7 can still retain stunning detail in shadows and highlights, leaving more room for post-production creativity.
D-Gamut covers the entire DCI-P3 color space commonly used in filmmaking. Designed for aerial video and photography, D-Gamut provides a wider green tone coverage, providing a beautiful green gradation for your shots.

D-Gamut also provides optimal skin tone adjustment by shifting skin tones to their most suitable chromaticity, ensuring vivid colors reflecting from every inch of skin. By applying the dedicated 3D-LUT for color grading, skin tones transition smoothly, even with large exposure differences. When designing D-Gamut, we considered manual color grading, preventing skin tones from turning yellow when editing without 3D-LUT or color management.
We are now working with more professional post-processing companies to include D-Log and D-Gamut in their software to achieve universal compatibility with cinematic workflows as soon as possible.
