The drone lens showdown of the century! Watch DJI's two movie quality drone lenses go head to head in Louisiana's gorgeous bayou and river system.
Both lenses have been used to make major motion picture films with DJI's Inspire 2 drone! The X7 is the upgraded version of the X5s. Watch this video, and judge for yourself which lens fares the best!
Like we mention in the video, we used waypoint missions to accurately recreate each shot exactly on both lenses. If you want to see our process for planning and creating waypoint missions, just let us know in the comments below:)

Thanks for watching! We hope you learned something new today my friend:) Do you have a favorite camera drone?

[@MadsHalvorsen]

Dude the fact that you have 22(!!!) views and 18 subs blow my mind! This video is pure informative and quality, KEEP THEM COMNG! You can get there real quick if you keep up the hustle!

[@thedronestitute]

Thanks my friend!! I really do appreciate that! We’re at the very start, but we’re doing our best to share some things we’ve learned along the way in a cool informative way. It’s really encouraging to hear you felt that way about the video though! We’ll keep em coming:)

[@user-bp5tg3yd3d]

I learned a lot from this video,very informative THANKS

[@thedronestitute]

We’re really happy to hear that! Plenty more educational content is in the works right now:)

I’ve have recently purchased an Inspire 2 with the Zenmuse X7 and the quality of the video is just amazing. And the still photos are as equally impressive. Very happy with the X7 so far.

[@thedronestitute]

That’s awesome my friend! The Zenmuse really is an impressive lens kit, and we’re big fans of the Inspire 2 as well. What drone work are you involved in using the X7? We’ve used ours mainly for marketing and cinematography, but it’s really cool to hear the creative ways others are using the Inspire 2 with X7!

[@zoranm6432]

@@thedronestitute I use the Inspire X7 combo based on the quality level my clients want. If it’s for inspections, videos, photos, mapping or 3D modelling, I use either my Mavic 2 pro / zoom or my Phantom 4 pro. But if my client wants the best quality possible I use the Inspire 2 with the X7 on any of these services I offer.

[@thedronestitute]

@@zoranm6432 That’s a great way to go about it! I never thought of that. The X7 offers plenty of quality to where you can position it as a top tier/premiere level service for your clients!

[@zoranm6432]

@@thedronestitute I think it’s a sensible way to do things. I only fly the Inspire X7 when I have to. I find that between the two Mavics and the P4Pro they offer around 80% quality video/photos. If you want to go the full 100% that’s when the beast comes out, and off course the dual operator capability opens up even more possibilities… if my client is prepared to pay for it.

[@thedronestitute]

@@zoranm6432 I definitely agree with you! The Inspire 2 allows you to really turn the quality up as high as you’d like, or as much as the client is willing to compensate for. Great point on the dual operator capability as well! It sounds like you’ve found a winning system my friend.

[@djshez2563]

this is really good,, keep up the good work

[@thedronestitute]

Thank you so much! We’ll keep the content coming!

[@pablomarin1746]

It’s hard to tell from YT viewng on my phone, I don’t know but there is something that a i Love about the x5s it looks more cinemátic

[@sohailshigri2517]

Hy I am from PAKISTAN 🇵🇰 I am very fond of drone cameras but I can't buy a camera but I have received a lot of information from you about it and I am glad that I am one of the subscribers to your channel and I hope your channel is very. Grow fast

[@JonathanLyde]

I'm very interested in seeing how the waypoints were programmed for the I2

[@thedronestitute]

Thanks for the interest! We’d be happy to share the process:) It’s not as difficult as it might look. We’re going to document the steps and share them in next week’s video!

[@thedronestitute]

But for now the simple explanation is this: 1) Open the intelligent flight modes menu on the left hand side of the DJI go 4 app. 2) Tap “new mission” 3) Tap “record point” at each stop/turn you want to make along the way. Visualize the path that you want the drone to follow, and draw it out with waypoints. 4) Set your return to home altitude, and flight speed for the mission Those ^ are the steps you’ll take to set the missions. We’ve got some advice to keep you safe while you use this flight mode! We’ll also share a few tips on how you can get really creative with the waypoint missions you plan! I’ll link that video below when we post it next week!

[@KennethRosenstroem]

@@thedronestitute Where is that video?

[@thedronestitute]

@@KennethRosenstroem It’s a little spot we like to film by the Vermillion River in Lafayette across town from where we live! It’s not too populated yet, and it’s always scenic.

[@KennethRosenstroem]

@@thedronestitute You misunderstand: Jonathan Lyde: "I'm very interested in seeing how the waypoints were programmed for the I2" UAV Mentor: "We’re going to document the steps and share them in next week’s video!" That was 4 months ago. So question again: Where is that video?

[@bartoszkaczmarek5739]

Reset the horizon please :D

[@robinolds1]

Try to develop raw using Lightroom.

[@iandudley8270]

You repeatedly referred to the camera as “the lens”. It’s quite confusing and shows your lack of experience. I hope you learn from this.

[@thedronestitute]

Life’s all about learning my friend:) Of course we’ll continue to do so! Thanks for checking in
