Untick anything you already own. Total updates as you go.
DJI's enterprise flagship platform: up to 59 minutes of flight with a payload, up to 6 kg of payload capacity across as many as seven payloads, and a rotating LiDAR plus mmWave radar that can sense high-voltage lines, even at night. O4 Enterprise transmission reaches 40 km (FCC), and the airframe is IP55 rated for rain and dust.
Batteries are not included. The Matrice 400 flies on one TB100 battery. See the power kit you'll need.
Long enough for wildfire overwatch, wide-area search and long corridor mapping on a single battery, and fast enough to cut transit time between sites.
Switch between single and dual downward gimbals, add a third gimbal connector underneath, and power up to seven payloads through four E-Port V2 ports.
Zenmuse H30T, Zenmuse H30, Zenmuse L3, Zenmuse L2, Zenmuse P1
Zenmuse S1 spotlight, Zenmuse V1 speaker, AP100 Parachute, Manifold 3, D-RTK 3 and D-RTK 2 stations, E-Port V2 kit, SkyPort V3 adapter, X-Port
A rotating LiDAR, six-direction mmWave radar and full-color low-light fisheye cameras detect obstacles as small as high-voltage lines, through rain and fog.
520,000 points per second, 0.5 to 100 m range, and power-line detection to 35 m.
Senses 21.6 mm transmission lines to 50 m and 12 mm distribution lines to 36 m, in six directions.
Line sensing up to 25 m/s facing transmission lines; 17 m/s where transmission and distribution lines mix.
Dual antennas receive crewed-aircraft traffic up to 20 km away.
1 cm + 1 ppm horizontal accuracy, plus RTK heading better than 2°.
IP55 rated and stable from -20° to 50°C (-4° to 122°F). The IP rating isn't permanent and can decrease with wear. The mmWave radar is unavailable in some countries and regions.
O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission, with a sub-2 GHz SDR module in the box and relay and cellular options for complex sites.
FCC, unobstructed. Plan on 1.5 to 6 km in dense urban areas.
Three channels at 1080p/30 on the remote.
Better penetration where 2.4 and 5.8 GHz struggle.
A second aircraft relays the link around terrain and structures.
Two Cellular Dongle 2 slots (dongles sold separately).
Automation and AI features that keep data consistent and let operators focus on the job.
Detects vehicles, vessels and people with visible and thermal imaging during search and routine flights.
Holds a steady height over the ground in any direction, for consistent subject size in search and consistent GSD in mapping.
Takes off from stationary vessels and lands on moving ones by reading a deck landing pattern.
Follows transmission and distribution lines automatically, bypassing crossing lines with the rotating LiDAR.
Ship operations are recommended below 10 knots of ship speed and 5 m/s wind, with a 3 m × 3 m deck area. Slope and geometric routes can be planned in DJI Pilot 2 or DJI FlightHub 2.
The Matrice 400 flies on one TB100 battery. Most teams run at least three, with the BS100 station charging three at a time, so one is always ready.
977 Wh, self-heating for cold starts, 400 cycles. One per flight.

Rule of thumb: heavier or multiple payloads, power-line work, or long missions? Matrice 400. Check payload compatibility before you move: DJI's M400 list covers the H30 series, L3, L2 and P1.
Measured by DJI in windless conditions at sea level. Flight time measured with an H30T payload; real-world time depends on payload, wind, temperature and flight mode.
No batteries included. Add TB100 batteries and a BS100 station from the power kit above.
The payloads our enterprise team pairs with the M400 most, and the mounts that unlock dual and heavy-lift setups.
Zoom, wide, thermal, rangefinder and NIR light. Unlocks Smart Detection.
Shop H30T
Straight answers from the team that sells, flies and services Matrice aircraft.
No. You'll need at least one TB100 Intelligent Flight Battery to fly. Most teams buy three or more, plus the BS100 station, which charges three TB100s at once.
DJI's 59 minutes is measured flying forward at 10 m/s with only an H30T, in no wind at sea level, from 100% to 0%. Heavier payloads, wind, cold and reserves for landing all reduce it. Plan missions with margin.
Check before you move. DJI's M400 compatibility list includes the Zenmuse H30 and H30T, L3, L2 and P1, plus the S1, V1, Manifold 3 and AP100 Parachute. The H20 series isn't on the list.
No. At 977 Wh each, TB100 batteries are well over airline limits for passenger aircraft. Plan to ship them as dangerous goods or source batteries at your destination.
An FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate, aircraft registration and Remote ID. The M400's max takeoff weight is 15.8 kg (about 35 lb), under the 55 lb Part 107 limit. Public safety agencies may operate under a COA instead.
Yes. The Matrice 400 must be activated through the DJI Pilot 2 app before first use. We can help you set it up.

What is the ingress protection (IP) rating of DJI Matrice 400? Can I fly the drone in the rain?
It is IP55 rated. Do not fly in rain heavier than 100 mm / 24 h.
The IP rating is not permanently effective and may decrease due to product wear and tear.
What does the sensing system of DJI Matrice 400 consist of?
Omnidirectional binocular vision system
Downward-facing binocular vision system
LiDAR (horizontal rotating + upward)
Downward 3-D infrared range sensor
Six-directional mmWave radar
How is the obstacle-avoidance capability of DJI Matrice 400?
Power-line sensing:
Facing a main line (21.6 mm steel-core wire) — obstacle sensing supported up to 25 m/s.
Facing both main (21.6 mm) and distribution (12 mm) lines — obstacle sensing supported up to 17 m/s.
Performance varies with clouds, fog, rain, snow, object material, and shape. The aircraft cannot actively avoid fast-moving objects; fly with caution. The mmWave radar function is unavailable in some countries/regions.
How is the payload capacity of DJI Matrice 400?
The third gimbal connector supports up to 6 kg. When using the single downward gimbal, dual downward gimbals, and third connector together, the combined weight of non-DJI payloads must not exceed 6 kg. Contact the payload manufacturer for a test report to ensure safe flight under low-battery conditions.
