On this occasion, the company launches a medium telephoto lens with an aperture of f/1.8, perfect for aerial low-light shootings and scenarios. The new DJI 75mm f/1.8 has a DL mount and is made for the Inspire 3 cinema drone’s Zenmuse X9-Air gimbal camera, completing the range where the ultra-wide, wide, and standard focal lengths were already covered in the lineup.

It has ten elements in nine groups, three extra-low dispersion lenses, and a UMC coating to achieve high contrast and clear images. The company ensures the images produced have high sharpness and minimal chromatic aberration. It also features pan and tilt axis counterweights for a straightforward balance when using a gimbal camera. The package also comes with a balancing ring and a lens protector.
