I think the problem is that you consider L as a parameter.
You can fix it by considering your measured x values and selecting the
largest to be L (or you can select the next nice round number as L).
Then your model will have only two parameters (v and Dz) and one
variable (x).
If FindFit still does not work, please provide typical values for the
two parameters and a typical range of the x variable.
