OSMO X5 Z-AXIS ADAPTER If you have trouble sourcing the parts or just want one ready to go, they are available to buy here https://www.xcopters.co.uk/shop/dji-osmo-x5-z-axis-damper The DJI Osmo can be used with the Zenmuse X3 camera or the X5 camera using a DJI adapter. But if you try to use the X5 on the DJI Osmo Z-Axis Adapter it is too heavy and doesn't work. There has been some rumours from DJI that an X5 Z-axis is going to be available, but I don't really want to have to buy more adapters. This shows a simple, cheap and reversible way to modify the DJI Osmo Z-Axis Adapter to work with the X5 camera which means you can easily swap cameras while still using the Z-Axis. Assembly instructions are here: https://youtu.be/FIts8uxWFZk You need the following additional components: 100mm RC car oil filled adjustable shock absorber e.g.http://www.banggood.com/HSP-RC-110-4WD-08041-Titanium-Aluminum-Shock-Absorber-Upgrade-107mm-108004-p-1010420.html 2 x M3x20mm cap head screws 1 x M3x10mm cap head screw 5 x M3 nuts 15mm 3D printed extension piece or similar One thing I missed on the video was an M3 nut I pushed into the bottom shock absorber hole that allows the 3d printed extension to be screwed in tightly with the M3x10mm cap head screw.
