Recently I just saw a video clip from YouTube, showing  DJI Z-axis installed onto the X5 adaptor, and working.
But after the video ended, from the roll down manual, you can see a NOTE:  The Z-axis is now only use on X-3 camera only.
Is this gentleman from DHL promotion department or what? Very confused.

hmmm, very interesting maybe they are using a New BETA firmware??? testing it out before releasing it??

Hi all,
The official released Z-Axis is only for X3 camera right now.
As for any news of Z-Axis for X5 camera, please wait for our further update.
For any accurate information, please refer to our official announcement.

Thanks.

I have put my X5 on the z axis and it doesn't work. It is too heavy

Yes, it is.

Thanks for your feedback.

I did the same thing with my X5R.  That thing is a brick, it just bottomed out the z-axis.  Will the X5 Z-axis work for both the X5 and X5R?  I hope so.  I'm actually not sure why I'm even asking.  DJI won't comment on future products and no one on the forums really would know.
