DJI DL 75mm f/1.8 Lens

Our thoughts

"The DJI DL 75mm f/1.8 is a beautifully versatile lens — compact and light enough for aerial work on the Inspire 3, yet refined and balanced enough for ground-based rigs like the Ronin 4D. It gives striking medium-telephoto character with creamy separation, whether in the sky or on a film set."

Product description

Rent a DJI DL 75mm f/1.8 when you’re looking for a lightweight, high-quality medium-telephoto lens that plays well in both aerial and ground-based cinema workflows. Built for native DL-mount use, it integrates seamlessly with DJI’s Zenmuse X9-8K gimbals for drone work — and it’s equally at home on a cine-camera system for feature or commercial production.

The DJI DL 75mm f/1.8 features carbon-fibre construction and an ultra-short flange focal distance, keeping the overall profile light and balanced. Its bright f/1.8 aperture provides strong low-light performance and shallow depth-of-field for cinematic subject separation. Optically, it offers minimal chromatic aberration and excellent sharpness — delivering consistent, natural-toned images whether you’re shooting from the air or on a gimbal. A 55 mm filter thread allows ND or polarising filters, and the supplied counterweights ensure perfect balance on gimbals or cinema cameras.

• Bright f/1.8–f/22 aperture for control over depth of field and exposure

• Lightweight carbon-fibre build optimised for aerial stability and handheld/mounted use

Optical performance and versatility

On the ground, when mounted to a Ronin 4D, the DL 75mm f/1.8 delivers crisp detail and cinematic compression ideal for narrative, portrait, and commercial work. The f/1.8 aperture allows for strong subject isolation and fast shooting in lower light conditions. Optically, the lens maintains sharpness across the frame, with minimal aberration or colour fringing even wide open, producing clean, filmic renders with a natural depth and tone.

Up in the air, its carbon-fibre design and balanced mounting minimise stress on the gimbal and aircraft, helping keep flight times and stability optimal. The included counterweights ensure the lens stays properly balanced when mounted to Zenmuse X9-8K or Ronin-based rigs — a significant advantage when moving between drones and ground setups. The 55 mm filter thread lets you easily adjust exposure and control highlights during daylight aerial passes.

Why rent the DJI DL 75mm f/1.8?

The DJI DL 75mm f/1.8 is a smart rental choice for productions that demand cinematic quality without sacrificing portability. It’s ideal for filmmakers working on drones, gimbals, or cinema cameras — offering consistent optical character whether you shoot aerial establishing shots, ground-level interviews, or cinematic B-roll. Its compact footprint and balanced handling make it especially valuable when you want to stay nimble but still achieve professional-grade results.

Renters will appreciate its dual-use flexibility — drone-ready for aerials, yet fully capable on the Ronin 4D or similar systems when shooting ground-based footage. The crisp optics, smooth bokeh, and robust build give you a lens that’s as suited for documentary work as it is for cinematic storytelling.
