Zenmuse X7 DL 35mm F2.8 LS ASPH Lens

The Zenmuse X7 DL 35mm F2.8 LS ASPH Lens delivers a 53mm equivalent perspective for aerial photography and precision imaging, enabling Zenmuse X7 operators to capture naturally compressed, detail-rich imagery suited to inspection, mapping, and cinematic production work.

• 53mm equivalent - the closest to natural human perspective in the DL lineup - At 35mm on the X7's Super 35 sensor, the 53mm equivalent produces a slightly compressed, natural-looking perspective that reduces wide-angle distortion and renders subjects accurately at altitude.
• F2.8 to F16 aperture range for precise in-flight exposure control - A bright maximum aperture and wide stopping range give operators full control across varying light conditions, managed directly through the DJI GO 4 or Pilot 2 app.
• Carbon fibre casing at 179g - negligible gimbal payload impact - Lightweight construction keeps gimbal load close to the 24mm option, maintaining stabilisation performance and flight time across extended missions.
• 46mm filter thread - consistent with the full DL lens series - A single set of 46mm ND or CPL filters covers this lens and every other DL prime, simplifying kit management across multi-lens operations.

Overview and Who It's For

The DL 35mm F2.8 LS ASPH is a professional prime lens from the DJI DL and DL-S lens series, designed exclusively for the Zenmuse X7 camera via the DL mount (58mm diameter). Its 35mm focal length produces a 53mm equivalent when used with the X7's Super 35 sensor at a 1.5x focal length multiplier for stills -- the nearest equivalent to natural human perspective in the DL lineup and a preferred choice for operators who need accurate, low-distortion subject rendering from altitude.

Compared to the 24mm option (36mm equivalent), the 35mm compresses perspective slightly, making subjects appear more natural and proportional in the frame. This is particularly valuable for inspection work where accurate representation of structures and surfaces matters, and for cinematic aerial production where wide-angle distortion would undermine the shot.

The carbon fibre casing keeps total weight -- including balancing ring and lens hood -- to approximately 179g, one gram above the 24mm. Aperture is controlled in-flight through the DJI GO 4 or Pilot 2 app across the full F2.8 to F16 range.

Best suited for:

• Surveying and Mapping - Reduced wide-angle distortion at 53mm equivalent improves geometric accuracy in oblique photography and facade mapping workflows
• Forestry and Environmental - Natural-perspective imaging for species identification, canopy structure documentation, and site assessment work where subject accuracy matters more than maximum scene width
• Public Safety - Incident documentation and aerial reconnaissance where accurate, undistorted subject rendering supports evidence-quality imagery and situational reporting

FAQs

Which aircraft is this lens compatible with? The DL 35mm F2.8 LS ASPH is compatible with the Zenmuse X7 camera, which mounts on the Matrice 200 Series, Matrice 300 RTK, and Matrice 350 RTK aircraft. Confirm current aircraft compatibility with our team before ordering.

What is the effective focal length on the Zenmuse X7? The DL mount uses a 1.5x focal length multiplier when taking stills with the Zenmuse X7's Super 35 sensor, making the 35mm lens equivalent to 53mm in full-frame terms -- the closest equivalent to natural human visual perspective in the DL prime lineup.

How does the 35mm compare to the 24mm DL lens? The 24mm (36mm equivalent) gives a wider field of view and is better suited for large-area mapping and maximum scene coverage. The 35mm (53mm equivalent) compresses perspective slightly, reduces wide-angle distortion, and renders subjects more accurately -- preferred for inspection, facade mapping, and cinematic production where geometric accuracy and natural subject representation matter.

Can I use standard ND filters with this lens? Yes. The 46mm filter thread accepts standard 46mm ND, CPL, and UV filters -- the same diameter used across all four DL lenses. A single set of 46mm filters covers the entire DL lineup.

Does this lens work with the DJI GO 4 app? Yes. Aperture is controlled through the DJI GO 4 app during flight. All lens parameters including aperture, shutter, and ISO are managed through the app interface.
