Tamron has filed a patent for a pair of zoom lenses designed for use on gimbals and drones: a 28-75mm f/4 and 28-80mm f/4.5. Both lenses are described as compact and with little change to their center of gravity across the zoom range.

DJI just announced the DJI Zenmuse X7, the world's first Super 35mm camera optimized for aerial cinematography. It's designed primarily for the DJI Inspire 2 drone and features interchangeable lenses as well as a new DJI Cinema Color system for greater creative freedom in cinematography.
DJI just released a powerful new drone camera, but it's not meant for you or me. No, the Zenmuse Z30—which Sweden probably won't like one bit—is meant for industrial purposes, because it boasts a crazy 30x optical zoom lens that can deliver up to 180x zoom if you add digital zoom.
The innovative folks at DJI continue to design drones that push the limits of aerial photography (and empty the wallets of eager onlookers).

Let’s see if it lives up to the high demands of its price tag.
DJI today announced their new ZENMUSE X5 series of Micro Four Thirds Cameras for the Inspire 1 drone system. Featuring increased dynamic range, interchangeable lens compatibility, remote focus and aperture control, and lossless 4K RAW video recording, the ZENMUSE X5 series is ready to take on the high-performance world of aerial photography with two distinct models.
