Leaked pictures\u00a0indicate that the highly anticipated DJI Phantom 5 might include an interchangeable lens system. Here’s why you should be excited.<\/h2>\n

The DJI Phantom drone is one of the most popular drones on the consumer market right now. The current model, the Phantom 4, is a beast\u00a0that can record in 4K at 60fps. One of the only downsides of this drone is that it only has a 20mm (35mm format equivalent) lens that records in a fixed wide frame.<\/p>\n

Recently, we have discovered some (possibly) leaked photos of the\u00a0newest model, the Phantom 5. Here is a photo of the rumored lens design:<\/p>\n

That means drone filmmakers could\u00a0capture tighter shots and\u00a0pick the right lens for\u00a0their shots. If DJI’s professional-grade drone, the Zenmuse X7<\/a>, which features interchangeable lenses, is any measure, then we can expect the new interchangeable lens system to feature prime lenses with fixed focal lengths of 16mm, 24mm, 35mm and 50mm<\/a>. This means more cinematic shots for a fraction of the cost of the current cost.<\/p>\n

Now, that drone has a price tag of just about $2,700, so it’s not\u00a0very accessible for the casual drone enthusiast. With the current Phantom 4’s price\u00a0at around $800, we hope to see\u00a0a successor with\u00a0the same price, so anyone from the occasional drone videographer to drone professionals on a budget\u00a0can purchase this model.<\/p>\n

As with all rumors, you should take all this\u00a0with a grain of salt. The image could just be a photoshopped version of the current Phantom lens \u2014 or it very well could be the first images of the brand-new Phantom 5. We will just have to wait and see when DJI releases the specs. After seeing their releases of the Tello, Ronin Mobile 2, and the Ronin S at CES 2018<\/a>,\u00a0we’re hoping\u00a0for a big release of at least one of their heavy hitters at NAB 2018.<\/p>\n
