Firmware update for DJI Inspire 3 and new 75mm F1.8 DL lens

DJI’s professional camera drone Inspire 3 has been on the market since last year and offers the option of using various interchangeable lenses with its Zenmuse X9-Air gimbal camera. So far, four focal lengths are available, 18/24/35/50mm, all with a maximum aperture of F2.8. Now – as was already announced at the time – a short telephoto lens is also being released.

The 75mm F1.8 DL lens is brighter than the optics already available. The optical structure consists of ten elements in nine groups, including three lenses with particularly low dispersion. At the same time, a UMC coating is intended to minimize internal reflections, which promotes contrast and thus clearer images.

As a lens specially optimized for aerial photography, it consists of a housing made of carbon fiber and weighs only 269 grams. Counterweight blocks for the pitch and yaw axes are intended to ensure that the drone gimbal maintains balance in flight.

The DJI DL 75 mm lens is available for 1499 euros; the scope of delivery includes the lens, a lens protection glass, a lens counterweight ring, a counterweight block for the pitch axis, a counterweight block for the yaw axis, a storage box, a screwdriver and screws.
