Zenmuse X7 DL 24mm F2.8 LS ASPH Lens

The Zenmuse X7 DL 24mm F2.8 LS ASPH Lens delivers a versatile 36mm equivalent field of view for aerial photography and precision mapping, enabling Zenmuse X7 operators to capture wide, detail-rich imagery with a lightweight prime lens purpose-built for the DL mount.

• 36mm equivalent - the most versatile focal length in the DL lineup - At 24mm on the X7's Super 35 sensor, the 36mm equivalent provides a natural, wide field of view that balances scene coverage and subject detail -- suited for mapping, inspection, and cinematic aerial work equally.
• F2.8 to F16 aperture range for consistent exposure control - A bright maximum aperture and wide stopping range give operators flexibility across varying light conditions, from overcast forest canopy to open-sky survey sites in full sun.
• Carbon fibre casing at 178g -- minimal gimbal payload impact - Lightweight construction reduces stress on the Zenmuse X7 gimbal, supporting flight time and stabilisation performance across extended missions.
• 46mm filter thread - compatible with standard ND and polariser filters - The universal 46mm thread accepts readily available ND and CPL filters for managing exposure and glare in demanding aerial imaging conditions.
  

Overview and Who It's For

The DL 24mm 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 24mm focal length produces a 36mm equivalent when used with the X7's Super 35 sensor at a 1.5x focal length multiplier for stills, making it the widest-angle standard prime in the lineup and the most practical general-purpose choice for operators needing broad scene coverage without distortion.

The lens uses a lightweight carbon fibre casing that keeps the total weight -- including balancing ring and lens hood -- to approximately 178g, minimising gimbal payload and preserving the X7's stabilisation performance across extended aerial missions. The F2.8 to F16 aperture range is mechanically controlled through the DJI GO 4 or Pilot 2 app, enabling precise exposure management in flight.

As a prime lens without zoom or autofocus compromise, the DL 24mm delivers consistent, high-resolution optical performance suited to photogrammetry, precision mapping, cinematic aerial production, and inspection workflows where image quality and repeatability matter.

Best suited for:

• Surveying and Mapping - Wide field of view and high resolution capture support efficient GSD coverage on photogrammetry missions with the Matrice 300 RTK or 350 RTK
• Forestry and Environmental - Broad canopy imaging, site documentation, and environmental monitoring where wide coverage per pass reduces total flight time
• Public Safety - Aerial documentation, incident scene imaging, and situational awareness work where a natural field of view and sharp resolution are operational priorities
