Matrice 30 Series Aircraft

The DJI™ MATRICE™ 30 Series (M30/M30T) is a powerful industrial drone platform with a multi-redundancy flight controller system, 6 directional sensing and positioning system ,[1] precise three-axis gimbal, high-performance multi- camera load, and a new FPV camera with night vision. The DJI Pilot 2 app can be used to observe the real-time view from the cameras and take photos and videos. The aircraft boasts a flight time of up to 41 minutes [2] thanks to the advanced power management system along with the dual batteries that ensure power supply and enhance flight safety.

Its airframe design gives it an IP55 rating, in accordance with the global IEC 60529 standard, which effectively guarantees flight in all weather. The mechanical design, along with mounted folding arms and propellers, makes it easy to transport and store. The arms can be locked directly after unfolding, which can reduce the time needed to prepare for flight. The aircraft is also equipped with a PSDK port so users can broaden its applications.

The built-in DJI AirSense system detects nearby aircraft in the surrounding airspace, providing alerts in the DJI Pilot 2 app to ensure safety. Safety during takeoff, flight, and landing are improved with the safety beacons that help to identify the aircraft during flight and the auxiliary lights allow the vision positioning system to achieve an even greater performance at night or when there is low light. The built-in RTK provides more accurate navigational data for positioning to meet accurate operation requirements and ensure safety.
