Ultra-wide APS-C lens for DJI DL mount

The Venus Optics Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D is a prime lens built for the DJI DL mount used on Inspire 2 and X7 gimbal cameras. It covers APS-C and Super35 sensors with a 113° angle of view and a 13mm full-frame equivalent focal length. Weighing 215g and measuring 53mm long, it is designed for aerial and gimbal work where size and balance matter.

Suited for drone operators needing zero-distortion

This lens suits pilots and cinematographers who require rectilinear ultra-wide coverage with minimal distortion for mapping, inspection or immersive video. Buyers who need autofocus, a zoom range or a faster aperture than f/2.8 should look elsewhere. It is also not for users of other lens mounts unless an adapter is sourced separately.

9mm focal length with 113° coverage on APS-C

The 9mm focal length combined with the 113° angle of view determines whether this lens fits the required field of view for a given drone mission. The optical design uses 15 elements in 10 groups, including 2 aspherical and 3 extra-low dispersion elements, to achieve the near-zero distortion that defines the Zero-D series. Minimum focus is 12cm.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.8 aperture and 215 g weight keep the DJI Inspire 2 gimbal balanced during all-day flights?

The f/2.8 aperture stays constant and the lens weighs 215 g, well within the X7 gimbal payload, so balance is maintained for extended aerial sessions.

Does the DL mount mean I need a DJI Inspire 2 or X7 gimbal to use this lens?

Yes, the DL mount fits only DJI Inspire 2 and Zenmuse X7 gimbal cameras; no adapter is offered for other bodies.

Can I keep my existing 15 mm filters when switching to this 9 mm lens?

The 9 mm design does not share the 15 mm filter thread, so current filters will not fit; a new filter size is required.
