Laowa has added new mount options for some of its Ultra wide-angle lenses. If you own a DJI drone or a Ronin 4D, the these may be of interest to you.
Below you can see what those lenses are:
DL Mount
XCD Mount
The ultra-wide 11mm f/4.5 FF RL and 14mm f/4 FF RL Zero-D full frame lenses are super compact and lightweight, but still deliver sharp image quality and well-controlled distortion performance, making them the ideal options for extraordinary wide drone shots.
The 11mm f/4.5 weighs only 206g with a Ø62mm filter thread and the 14mm weighs 186g with a Ø52mm filter thread. The lenses reduce the payload of the setup and thus improve the overall stability with advanced user experience. They are the ultimate professional full-frame prime lenses for FPV and drone pilots.
Ultra-wide Angle of View
Both 11mm and 14mm lenses deliver an incredibly wide perspective, dynamic landscapes and enormous skyscrapers can be seen and captured with ease. Featuring a 126° angle of view, this new 11mm f/4.5 is the world’s widest rectilinear full-frame lens for DL users. The lens opens up a new dimension for creative landscape and cityscape drone shots.
Built-in Filter Thread
Both lenses have a filter thread to provide user benefits to drone pilots. They can screw in the ND filters conveniently in different light conditions without extra filter holders, which also reduces the payloads of the drone.
