Overview
About this product.
The DJI Matrice 4E is purpose-built for surveying and mapping professionals who need an efficient platform for capturing accurate aerial data. Its 20MP 4/3 CMOS wide-angle camera features a mechanical shutter for professional photogrammetry, supported by advanced oblique capture, orthophoto collection and intelligent 3D mapping capabilities.
Suitable for topographic surveys, construction sites, infrastructure, mining and land development, the Matrice 4E brings mapping, long-range imaging, intelligent flight functions and enterprise connectivity together in a compact aircraft designed for repeatable field workflows.
Surveying and Mapping
- Rapid 0.5-Second Interval Shooting: Capture images every 0.5 seconds in orthophoto and oblique modes, with mapping flight speeds of up to 21 m/s for faster aerial data collection.
- 5-Directional Oblique Capture: The gimbal automatically captures imagery from five directions, gathering multiple perspectives within a single flight and reducing the need for separate oblique missions.
- 3-Directional Ortho Capture: Collect lateral imagery during orthophoto missions to reduce required side overlap and improve reconstruction efficiency when used with DJI Terra.
- Smart 3D Capture: Create a rough model on the remote controller and use it to generate close-range flight routes around complex or irregular structures, with virtual routes and waypoint images available for checking coverage and flight safety.
- Smart 3D Explore: When paired with Manifold 3, Smart 3D Explore can automatically plan safe routes around a subject while generating a rough 3D model that can be viewed in real time on the remote controller.
- Distortion Correction 2.0: In-camera correction delivers residual distortion of less than 2 pixels, with each Matrice 4E wide-angle camera factory calibrated to support improved reconstruction accuracy with DJI Terra.
- Automatic Survey Quality Reports: DJI Pilot 2 can generate a post-flight report covering photo points, RTK status and camera parameters, helping operators identify missing or problematic data before leaving site.
Long-Range Imaging and Inspection
- Medium Tele Camera: Capture detailed medium-range imagery, including screws and cracks from around 10 metres away and readable instrument information at substations under the stated test conditions.
- 48MP Tele Camera: Capture fine details, including signage, from distances of up to 250 metres using the high-resolution tele camera.
- Telephoto Stabilisation: Foreground stabilisation helps keep distant subjects steady and clearly defined when working at 10× zoom or greater.
- Electronic Dehazing: Low, Medium and High dehazing settings help improve image clarity when operating in haze, smog or atmospheric humidity.
Flight Safety and Connectivity
- RTK, GNSS and Vision Fusion Positioning: Integrated positioning supports the extended L5 frequency band, visual return-to-home point updates, take-off in as little as 15 seconds and return-to-home capability when GNSS signals are unavailable.
- Intelligent Obstacle Guidance: With an internet-connected DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise, terrain elevation data and detailed maps can support automatic obstacle-avoidance route planning, while five-directional vision assistance and downward sensing improve situational awareness.
- O4 Enterprise Transmission: An eight-antenna aircraft system and high-gain controller antenna provide transmission distances of up to 25 km, with download bandwidth of up to 20 MB/s.
- Optional 4G Connectivity: The Matrice 4E supports the separately sold DJI Cellular Dongle 2, allowing 4G image transmission to work alongside the aircraft's built-in antennas for additional connectivity and signal stability.
Intelligent Operations
- Intelligent Recognition and Tracking: Built-in intelligent models can recognise vehicles, vessels and people, while high-resolution grid photography and advanced tracking expand the aircraft's imaging capabilities.
- Laser Range Finder: Measure points, lines and areas in real time, then share information with team members through DJI Pilot QR codes or FlightHub 2.
- Observation Range Recording: DJI Pilot 2 can display the centre of the camera view and its corresponding observed area on the ground directly on the map.
- Cruise Control: Maintain a selected flight direction without continuous control-stick input, making longer flights easier to manage.
- FlyTo: Automatically adjust route and speed according to the surrounding environment to reach a selected destination with less manual control.
- Smart Track: Automatically position and zoom on selected subjects and reacquire them if they are briefly obscured.
- Point of Interest: Fly around a designated area while continuously observing and capturing a building or subject, supporting fixed-point observation and 3D modelling workflows.

Questions
Questions we’re asked.
The aircraft
What is the difference between the Matrice 4E and the Matrice 4T?
The 4T carries a 1/1.3-inch 48 MP wide camera, 48 MP medium tele and tele cameras, a thermal camera, an NIR auxiliary light and a laser rangefinder. The 4E carries a 4/3-inch 20 MP wide camera with the same medium tele, tele and rangefinder.
Is it waterproof?
No. Keep it away from water. If rain starts during a flight, return and land as soon as you can, and let the aircraft dry fully inside and out before flying again.
Does it map without ground control points?
The 4E’s wide camera does; the tele cameras on either aircraft do not. With RTK enabled the 4E maps to survey precision. Fitting the 4T with RTK does not guarantee the same result.
How does Network RTK work without a 4G dongle?
Through the remote controller over Wi-Fi. The Network RTK service is bound to the controller, not the aircraft. The aircraft’s RTK module is not removable.
Which remote controllers does it use?
The DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise is the standard controller. The RC Plus 2 Enterprise Enhanced is sold separately and adds expansion interfaces. There is no dual-controller mode.
Does it work with FlightHub 2?
Yes, including live flight control, with the aircraft and its payload controlled together.
What is smart oblique capture?
Five-direction oblique capture in a single route, in an X pattern, where the Mavic 3E needed two routes for three directions. The Zenmuse P1 also captures five directions, in a plus pattern.
Anything to know before powering on?
Unfold the arms first. Powered on while folded, the gimbal cannot complete its self-check and can collide with the arms.
Which SDKs does it support, and can it be used abroad?
Payload SDK, Mobile SDK and Cloud API. The aircraft cannot be used across countries or regions. Confirm the applicable region with your dealer before purchase. A 4G enhanced transmission module is not included.
