Product description

Rent a DJI DL 50mm f/2.8 LS ASPH for detailed, telephoto-style imagery from your DJI Zenmuse X9-8K, X9, or X7 system. Designed with a native DL mount and lightweight carbon-fibre construction, this lens offers professional-level performance in the air or on the ground. Its 75mm equivalent field of view (when used with the X7) provides flattering compression and subject separation, perfect for portraits, product work, and cinematic storytelling.

The DJI DL 50mm f/2.8 LS ASPH features a built-in leaf shutter system that minimises rolling-shutter artefacts and banding under artificial light — a huge benefit for aerial and motion capture. Its f/2.8 aperture delivers pleasing bokeh while retaining edge-to-edge sharpness and tonal accuracy. Weighing only a few hundred grams, it integrates seamlessly with DJI’s Inspire 3 and Ronin 4D platforms, maintaining perfect gimbal balance and reducing load on motors. The precision-engineered aspherical optics keep chromatic aberration to a minimum, ensuring consistent, cinematic image quality even in challenging light.

Key features

• Native DL mount lens for Zenmuse X9-8K, X9, and X7 camera systems

• 75mm equivalent focal length on X7 for natural, telephoto compression

• Built-in leaf shutter reduces rolling-shutter distortion and flicker

• Lightweight carbon-fibre housing enhances aircraft and gimbal stability

Optical performance and handling

The DL 50mm f/2.8 LS ASPH offers superb sharpness and contrast with minimal aberration, thanks to precision aspherical optics and DJI’s careful alignment process. The f/2.8 aperture provides a bright image for low-light shooting and creates pleasing separation between subject and background, particularly when used for aerial cinematography or close-quarters filming on the Ronin 4D. The internal leaf shutter ensures rolling shutter artefacts are suppressed, even when capturing fast motion or scenes lit by strobes and LEDs.

At just a fraction of the weight of comparable cinema primes, the lens maintains excellent balance on both aerial and ground-based DJI platforms. Its ultra-short flange focal distance contributes to compact size and improved stability, while the 46mm filter thread allows you to attach ND or polarising filters for controlled exposure in outdoor environments. Together, these features make it a reliable, professional tool for hybrid drone and gimbal workflows.
