🎥 Image Quality
The X7 captures up to 6K at 30fps and 4K at 60fps. It also takes 24MP still photos. The Super 35 sensor offers great depth of field and low noise, even in low light. You’ll get sharp, color-rich footage with room to edit in post.
🎨 Dynamic Range
With 14 stops of dynamic range, the X7 preserves details in both shadows and highlights. This is key for scenes with uneven lighting. You can film in bright daylight or golden hour with confidence.
🔧 Stabilization
A 3-axis gimbal keeps footage stable during flight. It corrects for pitch, yaw, and roll. Even in windy conditions or fast movements, your video will stay smooth.

- 16mm F2.8

All lenses are lightweight carbon fiber. They’re designed to keep the drone balanced.
🎛️ Color Science
DJI created a Cinema Color System (DCCS) for the X7. It uses D-Log and D-Gamut for better color depth. This helps when color grading. Skin tones stay natural. Sky, water, and shadows all look realistic.
