Fitting a Zenmuse X5 to a DJI Osmo with a Z-axis stabilizer
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 ноя 2016
- The DJI Osmo can be used with the Zenmuse X3 camera or the X5 camera using a DJI adapter. But if you try to use the X5 on the DJI Osmo Z-Axis Adapter it is too heavy and doesn't work. There has been some rumours from DJI that an X5 Z-axis is going to be available, but I don't really want to have to buy more adapters.
This video shows a simple, cheap and reversible way to modify the DJI Osmo Z-Axis Adapter to work with the X5 camera which means you can easily swap between cameras while still using the Z-Axis.
You need the following additional components:
100mm RC car oil filled adjustable shock absorber e.g.www.banggood.com/HSP-RC-110-4W...
2 x M3x20mm cap head screws
1 x M3x10mm cap head screw
5 x M3 nuts
15mm 3D printed extension piece or similar. www.thingiverse.com/thing:1908715
One thing I missed on the video was an M3 nut I pushed into the bottom shock absorber hole that allows the 3d printed extension to be screwed in tightly with the M3x10mm cap head screw.
You'll also need the expensive bits:
DJI Osmo: store.dji.com/product/osmo
DJI X5 Osmo adapter: store.dji.com/product/osmo-x5-...
DJI Z-Axis: store.dji.com/product/osmo-z-axis
I'm not sure how this mod affects your DJI warranty, but it's a benign modification and totally reversible. However, it's all at your own risk!

That was quite genius! Awesome solution!
How great is that ! Thx Whirly Bloke !!
Brilliant!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
No problem.
Excellent!! Bravo!!!
you are the man...
awesome, hope one day I will need to use x5 or x7 with my skates shots :)
So a great Video thank you .. from germany
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant idea... which im considering doing. I was wincing seeing you fit the camera to adapters at high speed as I know what happens when you bend the connector pins... lol. I always fit mine with kid gloves now. x5r - will this handle that weight i wonder.
Maravilloso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gracias!
Do you have any sample footage with this adapter + X5R please? Thanks
AWESOME!!!~
Thanks man
No problem
Hi Fella,
Did you have any issues getting the bolt out of the bearings ? Mine doesn't seem to want to shift :(
It can be difficult to get the captive washer off the bolt, but just hold it with some pliers and unscrew it. The bolts dropped straight out of the bearings then.
Any mod to use the z-axis thing with just a phone or osmo mobile gimbale ?
There are so many on Amazon, I don't know which one to buy to modify it

Здравствуйте получается я могу на dji osmo X3 заменить камеру на X5?
Hello, I have a dji osmo X3 but I want to put the camera itself on my dji osmo X3 from X5, will it fit or not?
Not sure.
How much will you charge to make one for me please Whirly Bloke??
Hi Whirly, Please I need your help to fix my Zenmuse 5 Camera , it's been working fine since I got it but suddenly stopped responding to commands. Hope to hear from you.
Omo.
Hi Whirly Bloke it's Bo who left the first request below, we have a busy schedule from next week running through to mid 2017 a lot of shooting abroad and would love to use the Z axis with our x5 I wonder if you could make a complete spring/shock unit including bolts please?? If you can let me know if you could and how much it would cost please? Many thanks!!
Where are you based?
Cardiff
You can Call me in the office on 02920099897 ask for Bo cheers
I too have had difficulty removing the captive washer. I used pliers to hold the captive washer and unscrew it but it did not work. Any recommendations?
I found the simplest way was to tightly and securely grip the captive washer with some narrow pliers and slowly unscrew the bolt. At first it seems the nut is not coming undone, but just keep turning and it will eventually come out. I'll put together short video showing how to do this.
Here's how I did it ruclips.net/video/wpiL4S41PQc/видео.html
Did you print the 3D part yourself ? Getting silly prices online for printing a one-off part :(
Are you UK based?
Whirly Bloke Yeah, I'm in West Yorkshire - Huddersfield

@@WhirlyBloke I have the pro version of the camera does that still need the adapter? As I already have the camera part
@@WhirlyBloke Thank you I see them there for £22 I just wanna make sure that it will work on the pro version as well thank you for your help video was very good
@@RobertVernonAustralia That I'm not sure. i did this several years ago before a z-axis stabiliser even existed. I don't have a pro version to test it with.
The link is broken It doesn't work anymore
That's 7 years ago and the product isn't available any longer. Sorry.
good day very good point. is it possible to have this done and send to me. can you print the extension and the shock and you send it to me i can pay you for all that plus your service charges. please advice thank you
Hi Hamad. These are available ready built here. www.xcopters.co.uk/shop/dji-osmo-x5-z-axis-damper X-Copters deliver world-wide.
Genius mate. lol.
I guess you didn't know about DJI part 57 - Z-axis for x5?
My design pre-dated the DJI Part 57 by nearly a year. I suspect DJI followed my lead.😀
@@WhirlyBloke Ah, makes sense. It still looks good, posssibly still better than the newer part 57 for x5.
Why not buy the z axis for the x5
When this video was made the X5 version didn't exist.
Why would you do this rather than just buy the official Z-Axis that they've produced for the X5 instead of trying to use the one for the X3?
It's quite simple. When I wanted this the X5 version last year it wasn't available and needs must. I've used this on pretty much every single shoot I've done since making it and it's worked perfectly. And technically, a compression spring is better than an expansion spring for these purposes.
Have you tried it with the X3? I don't think the z-axis do a good job, so I was wondering if with the right calibration on the compression spring it would help? Tks
Very Cheap ??? You have got to be joking
