This month, DJI released a new 6K camera with the same-sized sensor as an Arri Alexa Mini (super35) that fits exclusively on their drone the “Inspire 2.” The specs on this thing are insane for a proprietary drone camera and is complimented by a new set of lightweight, high-quality lenses they’ve designed.
We’ve had the opportunity to have had the X7 early to really get down and dirty with it and we’re frankly stunned with the image quality and aesthetic it produces. Senior colorist Stephan Nakamura (Kill Bill, Fight Club, Pirates of the Caribbean), who works at one of Hollywood’s most premiere color studios Company 3, has said that, “I can’t even tell the difference between that [the X7] and the other cameras that we used for the movie in general which is amazing for a drone camera.”
Don’t just take our word for it, take a look at a short video we put together showcasing some footage we recently shot of it (watch in 4k):
