DJI's wide-angle prime for Zenmuse X7 — 18mm f/2.8 for aerial cinema on the Inspire 2 platform.
The DJI DL 18mm f/2.8 ASPH is one of four interchangeable primes designed for DJI's Zenmuse X7 aerial cinema camera on the Inspire 2 drone platform. At 18mm on Super 35, it provides approximately 27mm equivalent — the widest option for aerial cinematography.
Optically good — designed specifically for aerial use with low distortion. The 27mm equivalent provides wide establishing shots and dramatic aerial perspectives. Lightweight to minimise impact on drone gimbal performance. Leaf shutter capability.
DJI DL mount — proprietary to the Zenmuse X7 system. Extremely lightweight for cinema use. ASPH aspherical element. Works exclusively on the Inspire 2 with Zenmuse X7. Part of matched four-lens set (16mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm).
Available used at professional prices. Only useful with the DJI Inspire 2 and Zenmuse X7 — completely useless without this specific platform. The widest DL-mount option. For professional aerial filmmakers with Inspire 2 platforms needing wide-angle coverage.
