Long-Endurance Drone Platform With Power-Line-Level Obstacle Sensing
Engineered for Excellence, Designed for Versatilityz
DJI Matrice 400, the enterprise flagship drone platform, boasts an impressive 59-minute flight time [1], a payload capacity of up to 6 kg [2], and integrated rotating LiDAR and mmWave radar for power-line-level obstacle sensing [3]. It also supports the O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission and Airborne Relay Video Transmission [4], ensuring safer handling and easier operations. Combining Smart Detection with visible and thermal imaging, AR projection, ship-based takeoff/landing, and advanced automation, Matrice 400 excels in emergency response, power inspections, mapping, and AEC.
Matrice 400's flight capabilities are outstanding, offering up to 59 minutes of forward flight time even with a payload, and up to 53 minutes of hovering duration [6]. These capabilities make it a reliable tool for long-duration and continuous operations such as search and rescue, firefighting, and large-scale mapping. It can also avoid large obstacles [3] like buildings and mountains at flight speeds of up to 25 m/s.
Matrice 400’s strong payload capacity allows it to easily meet the demands of a wide range of applications. With a maximum payload capacity of 6 kg [2], Matrice 400 supports seamless switching between a single downward gimbal [8] and a dual downward gimbal [8]. It also features a third gimbal connector on the underside for additional flexibility. The aircraft is equipped with 4 external E-Port V2 ports [7], enabling simultaneous mounting of up to 7 payloads.
Zenmuse H30 Series[8]
The Zenmuse H30 Series integrates five major modules—a wide-angle camera, a zoom camera, an infrared thermal camera, a laser range finder, and an NIR auxiliary light. Employing cutting-edge intelligent algorithms, it revolutionizes perception and imaging standards, transcending the limitations of day and night vision.
Zenmuse L3[8]
Zenmuse L3 features a 1535nm long-range LiDAR, dual 100MP RGB mapping cameras, and a high-precision POS system. It can be mounted on Matrice 400 using the Zenmuse L3 single gimbal connector, accelerating geospatial data acquisition.
Zenmuse P1[8]
Zenmuse P1 integrates a full-frame sensor with interchangeable fixed-focus lenses on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal. Designed for photogrammetry flight missions, it takes efficiency and accuracy to a whole new level.
Zenmuse S1[8]
Zenmuse S1 is DJI's first spotlight designed for multi-payload drone platforms. Utilizing the LEP technology, it offers high brightness and long illumination distance, and supports multiple lighting modes. This makes it ideal for public safety, emergency rescue, inspection, and other nighttime operations.
Zenmuse V1[8]
Zenmuse V1 is DJI's first loudspeaker designed for multi-payload drone platforms. It boasts high volume and long broadcast distance, and supports multiple broadcast modes, making it ideal for scenarios like public safety, emergency rescue, and more.
Manifold 3[8]
Manifold 3 packs an impressive 100 TOPS of computing power into a compact unit weighing about 120 g. It can be mounted onto Matrice 400 drone platform, optimizing efficiency across various operational missions with its robust processing.

Matrice 400 has a protection rating of IP55[9], allowing it to operate reliably in challenging conditions including heavy dust or rain. It also maintains stable performance across temperatures from -20° to 50° C (-4° to 122° F), delivering consistent results in both hot and cold conditions.
The Matrice 400's advanced obstacle sensing system integrates rotating LiDAR, high-precision mmWave radar, and full-color low-light fisheye vision sensors[13] pushing detection capabilities to unprecedented levels. The system detects even small obstacles like high-voltage power lines across mountainous terrain — even in darkness [3],t can penetrate rain and fog to sense its surroundings, providing enhanced safety in challenging weather conditions.
O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission System
Thanks to the ten-antenna system on the aircraft and the high-gain phased array antenna system on the remote controller, the O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission System can achieve image transmission up to 40 km [10].
Matrice 400 also supports the sub2G frequency band [5], and when equipped with two DJI Cellular Dongle 2 [11], it can automatically switch to the better available carrier network, providing a more stable signal even in urban interference environments or remote regions.
Airborne Relay Video Transmission [5]
Matrice 400 has a built-in video transmission relay module. With this setup, one Matrice 400 can serve as a relay drone, flying high to provide relay signals for another Matrice 400 operating at a greater distance. This capability significantly extends the transmission range, making it ideal for search and rescue tasks as well as inspections in mountainous areas.
The omnidirectional sensing performance [12] brought by rotating LiDAR, high-precision mmWave radar, and full-color low-light fisheye vision sensors provides Matrice 400 with strong positioning capabilities. It can fly stably close to glass-facade buildings or wind turbine blades and safely return from building edges, mountain bases, or bridge sides even when the return point has not been updated.
With Zenmuse H30 Series' visible and thermal imaging, Matrice 400 can detect vehicles, vessels, and subjects during search and rescue operations or routine flights. It also supports switching to other models, enabling the expansion of application scenarios. Additionally, it supports high-res grid photos and features powerful tracking capabilities.
Matrice 400 supports Real-Time Terrain Follow flight in any horizontal direction [15]. This feature
can be enabled during both manual flight and automated flight routes, ensuring stable relative height to the
ground.
During large-scale search and rescue operations, the size of ground subjects can be kept
consistent on the remote controller screen, reducing the need for frequent zoom adjustments and improving
efficiency. During mapping missions, a consistent ground sampling distance (GSD) can be maintained to obtain
high-precision mapping data.
To address the needs of offshore operations such as maritime patrol and wind turbine inspection, Matrice 400 is equipped with the capability to take off from and land on ships, supporting takeoff from stationary vessels and landing on moving vessels. By detecting landing point patterns on the deck, it can achieve safe and precise landings.
DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise Enhanced Remote Controller features a new high-brightness screen that remains clearly visible even in direct sunlight. It has an IP54 protection rating and can operate in temperatures ranging from -20° to 50° C (-4° to 122° F). Equipped with the O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission, it features a built-in high-gain antenna array, providing strong performance. It also supports the sub2G module and 4G hybrid transmission solutions, ensuring stable and smooth video feeds in both urban high-rise and mountainous environments.
The TB100 Intelligent Flight Battery uses high-performance, high-energy cells and can be charged up to 400 cycles, reducing the cost per flight. It also features enhanced heat dissipation and is equipped with a self-heating system for improved reliability.
The intelligent battery station is a one-stop solution for battery charging, storage, and transport. It can charge up to three TB100 batteries and two WB37 batteries sequentially. With a fast charging time of just 45 minutes [18] per TB100 battery, it ensures seamless, uninterrupted flight operations. In Silent Mode, noise levels are as low as 36 dB [19].
The TB100C Tethered Battery is compatible with third-party tethered lighting and communication products, enabling long-duration aerial lighting and communication base station functions via cable. Reserved ports are available to support third-party development of automated recharging station products, such as drone docks.
The D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station can serve as a base station to provide centimeter-level positioning for multiple drones simultaneously. Additionally, the new Rover Station Mode, combined with the DJI Enterprise app and DJI Terra, provides a comprehensive solution for high-precision aerial surveying applications, ensuring accurate operations.
