I need a wider angle lens for a shoot with the I2 & X5S.  Will the SAMYANG Single Focus Fisheye Lens 7.5mm F3.5 be compatible?  It is MFT and only MANUAL.  My OEM 15mm DJI lens on the X5S weighs 155g (with lenshood and ND), while the Samyang = 197g in total.

Anyone??

Thanks Donnie.  It is a pity....  That 15mm is not nearly wide enough.  I have another plan to test over the weekend... maybe - just maybe.  Regards.

It will be too heavy, would have to counter balance which is not the best of things to do with a $1900 Gimbal. Depending on if you can wait some time ( the ammount of time is unknown) there is a non fisheye 7mm lens being made that has the proper weight to dalance on the I2... give me some time to look it up.

DJI has the Olympus 9-18mm as a approved lens, there is that option as well.

the 9-18mm still doesnt work with the i2 though

Thanks!  This will be the one!!

If you have the lens already, you can give it a try and see if it works for you.
