Although the Panasonic Lumix G 35-100mm zoom lens is a valuable addition to the list of DJI compatible lenses for the Zenmuse X5 camera and gimbal, it poses a significant challenge when balancing, making it cumbersome to use. This manual zoom lens offers excellent image quality at an affordable price and provides very usable video footage. This balance kit offers a convenient solution to simplify the process of balancing the X5 camera, gimbal, and lens. By allowing users to easily adjust the balance when changing zoom settings, it streamlines the overall experience. The kit consists of two primary components: a 3D printed rear carrier and holder that balances tilt, and a side carrier and holder that balances roll. To fine-tune the balance, simply add lead or other weight to the carriers and secure them in place with Blu Tack or similar adhesive. To achieve optimal results, print the kit with 100% infill to ensure correct formation of thin walls. This enables users to print the parts using a variety of materials, including ABS, PLA, or PETG, with settings tailored to their specific printer.
