OSMO X5 Z-AXIS ADAPTER If you encounter difficulties in sourcing the parts or prefer to have one ready to go, they are available to purchase here https://www.xcopters.co.uk/shop/dji-osmo-x5-z-axis-damper. The DJI Osmo can be used with the Zenmuse X3 camera or the X5 camera using a DJI adapter. However, if you attempt to use the X5 on the DJI Osmo Z-Axis Adapter, it is too heavy and doesn't function. There have been some rumors from DJI that an X5 Z-axis will be available, but I do not want to have to purchase additional adapters. This demonstrates a simple, inexpensive, and reversible method to modify the DJI Osmo Z-Axis Adapter to work with the X5 camera, allowing for easy camera swaps while still utilizing the Z-Axis. Assembly instructions can be found here: https://youtu.be/FIts8uxWFZk You will need the following additional components: 100mm RC car oil-filled adjustable shock absorber, e.g., http://www.banggood.com/HSP-RC-110-4WD-08041-Titanium-Aluminum-Shock-Absorber-Upgrade-107mm-108004-p-1010420.html 2 x M3x20mm cap head screws 1 x M3x10mm cap head screw 5 x M3 nuts 15mm 3D printed extension piece or similar One thing I overlooked in the video was an M3 nut that I pushed into the bottom shock absorber hole, allowing the 3D printed extension to be screwed in tightly with the M3x10mm cap head screw.
