DJI Announces 75mm f/1.8 Lens For Drone Cinematography [Video]

DJI unveiled a new lens for its Inspire 3 cinema drone, the DL 75mm f/1.8. It has the longest focal length and widest aperture of any lens in the DJI DL mount lineup.

“With the new DJI DL 75mm lens, we continue to bring innovation to the filmmaking industry by pushing aerial and handheld cinematography to new heights,” says DJI Creative Director Ferdinand Wolf in a press release.

Despite its medium-telephoto focal length, the lens is relatively small, weighing only 269 grams (9.5 ounces), and features a carbon fiber construction. DJI says it is designed to meet the mobility requirements of the Inspire 3 drone, and the size of the lens allows it to balance with the drone’s gimbal counterweight system.

The 75mm f/1.8 lens is a solid addition to DJI’s line of drone lenses, which includes an 18mm f/2.8, 24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/2.8, and a 17-28mm T3.0 servo zoom. …
