DJI Matrice 4 Series

The DJI Matrice 4 Series, launched in January 2025, represents DJI's latest generation of compact, intelligent, and multi-sensor flagship industrial drones. It marks the industry's official entry into the "AI Intelligent Era" . Leveraging powerful onboard AI computing, a top-tier sensing system, and comprehensive hardware and software upgrades, this series is designed to provide more efficient and safer intelligent solutions for professional sectors including public safety, energy, surveying, and emergency response .

Two Models: Different Strengths

The DJI Matrice 4 Series consists of two main models, each optimized for different professional applications. The Matrice 4T is designed as an all-weather, multi-sensor platform suited for missions such as emergency response, public safety, power line inspection, water and forestry monitoring, and environmental enforcement. Its core camera configuration includes wide-angle, medium-telephoto, and telephoto lenses, along with a thermal camera, a near-infrared fill light, and a laser rangefinder. In contrast, the Matrice 4E is built for high-precision surveying and detailed inspection tasks, including mapping, engineering surveys, terrain modeling, mine monitoring, and infrastructure assessment. It features a wide-angle camera with a 4/3 CMOS mechanical shutter, complemented by medium-telephoto and telephoto cameras, as well as a laser rangefinder for accurate distance measurement.

Industries suitable for DJI Matrice 4 Series

DJI Enterpirse Drones for Energy Detection

Public Safety & Emergency Response

In search and rescue, quickly locate targets using AI, pinpoint and mark them with laser ranging, broadcast via the AS1 Speaker (range up to300 meters), or illuminate the scene with the AL1 Spotlight (illumination distance up to 100 meters) for nighttime operations, greatly enhancing rescue efficiency.

Energy & Infrastructure Inspection

Capable of detecting pins and cracks on power lines from 10 meters away, and reading meter data at substations. Thermal imaging can be used to detect anomalies in solar panels or overheating in electrical equipment.

High-Precision Surveying & Modeling

The Matrice 4E, paired with the D-RTK 3 multifunctional base station, achieves centimeter-level positioning. Its mechanical shutter camera and distortion correction technology ensure high accuracy in mapping data, widely applied in engineering surveying, mine monitoring, and more.

Environmental Protection & Forestry Monitoring

Used for nighttime wildlife conservation, forest fire patrols, water resource monitoring, etc. Its powerful low-light performance and AI recognition capabilities enable efficient operation in complex natural environments.

 Core Feature Highlights

🤖 Onboard AI Intelligence, Opening a New Dimension of Perception

This is the most significant highlight of the Matrice 4 Series. It features built-in AI models for detecting people, vehicles, and vessels , enabling rapid target identification during search and rescue or inspection missions. A single photo can detect up to 1,000 targets, providing statistics and density analysis . More importantly, DJI has opened up the onboard AI computing power and development platform, allowing third-party developers to train and deploy their own AI models, effectively integrating intelligent recognition capabilities into specific operational scenarios across various industries .

📸 Laser Tagging and Measurement, Real-time Data Acquisition

Using the integrated laser rangefinder module, pilots can simply mark points, lines, or areas on the screen to calculate the target's position, length, and area in real-time . For instance, during a wildfire rescue, the fire's extent can be instantly measured, providing crucial data for command decisions . The laser rangefinder has a maximum range of up to 1800 meters .

🌃 All-Weather Extreme Imaging, Breaking Environmental Limits

The Matrice 4 Series significantly enhances operational capabilities in low-light environments.
Full-Color Night Vision: Supports multiple night vision modes, utilizing large-aperture cameras to deliver clear images in the dark .
Infrared and Fill Light: The Matrice 4T features a high-resolution thermal camera (reaching 1280×1024 in super-resolution mode) and a near-infrared NIR fill light effective up to 100 meters , leaving no hiding place in the dark.
Ultra-Clear Telephoto: The telephoto camera boasts 48 megapixels, capable of capturing license plate details from 250 meters away. It also supports telephoto image stabilization for stable, clear long-distance observations .

⚡️ Efficient Mapping and Operations

The Matrice 4E supports interval shooting at 0.5-second intervals, covering up to 2.8 square kilometers in a single flight for orthophoto mapping, with a maximum flight speed of 21 m/s . It also supports the Smart 3D Capture function, which can generate a rough model on the remote controller in real-time and automatically plan detailed flight paths, significantly improving field modeling efficiency .

🛡️ Comprehensive Upgrades in Safety and Video Transmission

Equipped with the O4 Enterprise Video Transmission, the transmission range extends beyond 25 kilometers, with download bandwidth increased to 20 MB/s . Safety features include a standard RTK module, support for visual positioning and return-to-home (RTH) even without GNSS signals, and the ability to preload terrain data via the internet for obstacle avoidance path planning, ensuring safe flight even in complex environments like urban canyons .

New Accessory Ecosystem

  • AS1 Speaker: A powerful aerial broadcasting system for warnings, commands, or evacuations .
  • AL1 Spotlight: Features follow-motion design, illuminating the target along with the camera's direction, facilitating nighttime operations .
  • D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Base Station: Integrates high-precision positioning, signal relay, and mobile base station functions into one unit, ensuring reliability for high-precision tasks .
