The DJI Matrice 400 (M400) represents the pinnacle of modern drone technology – it’s not a hobbyist drone, but a true workhorse that once again manages to outperform its predecessor, making inspection, mapping, and rescue missions even simpler and more precise.
Key strengths
Flight time up to 59 minutes (with one camera) – significantly more than the M350 RTK’s 42 minutes. Instead of two batteries, the M400 uses one large 2025mAh battery. There’s also an option to purchase a version with a built-in tether system battery, which can connect to third-party tether solutions.
Payload capacity up to 6 kg – more than twice that of the M350 RTK (2.7 kg). In addition to increased payload capacity, the M400 platform can simultaneously operate up to 7 different payloads.
Transmission range up to 20 km (CE) – compared to its predecessor’s 8 km (CE). With 4G dongles and relay systems, transmission can reach up to 40 km.
Obstacle detection – LiDAR + mmWave radar ensure safety even around high-voltage lines and in poor visibility. Even fine branches and power lines are now detectable in low-light conditions.
Weather resistance – IP55 dust and water resistance, plus assisted ship takeoff and landing capabilities.
On-board artificial intelligence Manifold 3 (100+ TOPS) enables data processing directly on the drone – real-time object recognition and autonomous response modes. The open PSDK platform allows easy adaptation of third-party solutions.
