  • An 85mm periscope telephoto lens with a 200 MP sensor and gimbal-grade stabilization.

Professional Accessories

Vivo introduced several accessories developed in collaboration with Zeiss and SmallRig, aimed at professional photographers and videographers.

A Gen 2 Ultra model extends the focal length to a 400mm equivalent, an upgrade from a previous 200mm equivalent model. Vivo states this accessory includes gimbal-grade optical image stabilization and motion-tracking focus technology. The mount system is also compatible with the earlier X200 Pro model.
