Very simple question: is it possible (at all) to use both an X4S and X5S at the same time? I intend to use them to capture images at different focal lengths simultaneously. This seems like it should be easy enough with an M210, but have read elsewhere that either of these cameras can only be mounted in one of the downward ports, and the other port won't accept them.

Is anyone able to clear this up?

Afraid not. The Micro SD Card Slot is for the left, gimbal connector one only. Can use either X4S and X5s cameras. The other side, connector two can handle cameras with built in SD card slots . like Z30.

That's what I was afraid of, thanks Bobo. I'm assuming there's no workaround for this?

Does the X5 (as opposed to X5S) have its own card slot? Would that work?

Posted the X5 question separately, since it doesn't quite fit this question.

X5 is not compatible with M200 series.

@bobo I know it's not directly compatible, but there is anything adapter for the XT that I thought might also work for the X5 (since they share the same mount)?

Thanks for clarifying bobo. That's disappointing, since it means the possibilities for dual capture setups are hugely limiting. We can have thermal (which in this case isn't what we need) or the Z30 (tiny sensor, heavy, and expensive).
