DJI Matrice 400 Series

the DJI Matrice 400 Series is a versatile tool that connects the physical world while unlocking the potential for intelligent low-altitude applications. It combines advanced flight technology, perception capabilities, and artificial intelligence, providing professionals across various industries with a reliable tool to solve problems and enhance efficiency from the air.

Introducing DJI Matrice 400 Series

The DJI Matrice 400 Series (typically referring to the Matrice 400 launched in June 2025) is DJI's latest flagship industrial-grade flight platform. It is not a consumer drone designed for everyday aerial photography, but rather a professional-grade, high-performance "aerial work platform." Its core role and purpose are to provide safe, efficient, and intelligent solutions for various complex industrial and public service tasks.

Industries suitable for DJI Matrice 400 Series

Energy & Public Utilities

Core Role：

Enables automated, high-precision inspections, significantly enhancing efficiency and safety.

Typical Use Cases & Key Features：

Power Grid Inspection: Capable of automatically following power lines for data collection; can identify and lock onto ground wires and conductor wires for sideward automatic inspection, and automatically bypass crossing lines without manual intervention.
Wind Turbine Inspection: Flies stably close to turbine blades for easy inspection.

Surveying & Mapping

Core Role：

Efficiently and rapidly acquires large-area, high-precision geographic information data.

Typical Use Cases & Key Features：

Large-Area Topographic Mapping: Offers a maximum flight time of up to 59 minutes, improving 2D orthophoto mapping efficiency by60%compared to previous generation products.
Detailed 3D Modeling: Can execute inclined and geometric flight path planning for detailed aerial surveys of building facades and slopes, enabling rapid 3D modeling.

Public Safety & Emergency Response

Core Role：

Provides critical information for command decisions in complex and hazardous environments, improving rescue efficiency.

Typical Use Cases & Key Features：

Search & Rescue, Firefighting: Conducts long-duration continuous operations thanks to its extended flight time; equipped with thermal imaging cameras to accurately identify temperature anomalies, quickly locating fire sources or missing persons; supports AR projection, displaying real-time flight paths and ground projections on-screen to assist with precise landing.


Maritime Patrol: Solves the challenge of taking off and landing from vessels; the drone can identify and land on a dynamically moving ship for offshore wind farm inspections and maritime patrols

Environmental Protection & Forestry

Core Role：

Overcomes complex terrain limitations for routine monitoring and data collection.

Typical Use Cases & Key Features:

Environmental Monitoring & Forestry Survey: Used for water conservation, environmental protection, forestry resource surveys, forest fire prevention patrols, etc. Its robust obstacle avoidance and all-weather operational capabilities ensure stable flight in complex environments like mountainous and forested areas.

Key Features of DJI Matrice 400 Series

  • Robust Flight Performance

    It features a maximum flight time of up to 59 minutesand a maximum payload of up to 6 kg. The airframe boasts an IP55 ingress protection ratingand operates stably in extreme temperatures ranging from-20°C to 50°C. With a video transmission range of up to 40 km, it enables effective beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations.

  • Advanced Intelligent Safety

    It integrates omnidirectional LiDAR, millimeter-wave radar, and vision sensors to achieve "power-line-level" obstacle perception, capable of avoiding high-voltage lines even at night to ensure flight safety

  • Powerful "Brain" & Open Ecosystem

    It can be equipped with the Manifold 3 onboard computing platform, delivering up to 100 TOPS of processing power. This allows the drone to process data in real-time, identify objects during flight, and achieve true autonomous intelligent operation. Furthermore, it supports mounting up to 7 payloads simultaneously (such as spotlights, speakers, LiDAR, third-party sensors) and offers an open SDK for developers, allowing for customization based on specific mission requirements, significantly broadening its application potential.
