DJI Matrice 400 H30T Combo

The DJI Matrice 400 H30T Combo combines DJI's flagship enterprise aircraft with the Zenmuse H30T multi-sensor inspection payload in a package designed for detailed visual, thermal and low-light operations. The Matrice 400 provides extended flight endurance, a maximum payload capacity of 6 kg, advanced obstacle sensing and IP55 protection, creating a capable platform for inspections across large, complex and difficult-to-access sites.

This combo includes the core Matrice 400 package together with the DJI Zenmuse H30T and two additional batteries, providing three aircraft batteries in total. It is particularly suited to organisations working across energy and utilities, infrastructure, asset management, renewables, facilities and public safety where long-range visual inspection, radiometric thermal data and reliable operation across changing conditions are required.

Zenmuse H30T

The DJI Zenmuse H30T is a five-sensor enterprise payload combining a 48MP wide-angle camera, 40MP zoom camera, high-resolution infrared thermal camera, laser range finder and NIR auxiliary light in a single three-axis stabilised system. Designed for detailed inspection and situational awareness, it allows operators to move between wide-area context, long-range visual detail, thermal information and precise distance measurement without changing payloads.

Its zoom camera supports 34× hybrid optical zoom and up to 400× maximum zoom, allowing operators to assess assets and identify details from a safe distance. The integrated laser range finder measures targets from 3 m to 3,000 m under supported conditions and can provide information including distance, altitude and GPS coordinates.

For thermal inspection, the H30T uses a native 1280 × 1024 infrared sensor with radiometric temperature measurement, up to 32× digital zoom and UHR Infrared Image capability. Temperature measurement supports multiple gain modes, with measurement ranges extending up to 1,600°C when used with the appropriate Infrared Density Filter, making the payload suitable for applications ranging from electrical and renewable-energy inspection to industrial monitoring and emergency response.

Flexible Payload Compatibility

While the Matrice 400 H30T Combo is supplied with the Zenmuse H30T, the aircraft remains a flexible multi-payload platform and can be reconfigured as operational requirements change. Compatible options include the Zenmuse L3 and L2 for LiDAR surveying, Zenmuse P1 for photogrammetry, as well as the Zenmuse S1 Spotlight, V1 Speaker, Manifold 3 and supported third-party payloads. This allows the same Matrice 400 aircraft to support inspection, thermal imaging, surveying, mapping, asset management and other enterprise workflows beyond its primary H30T configuration.

Visual, Thermal and Low-Light Inspection

• 48MP Wide-Angle Camera: A 1/1.3-inch CMOS wide-angle camera provides detailed 48MP imagery and a broad field of view for overall asset and site context.
• 40MP Zoom Camera: The 1/1.8-inch CMOS zoom camera supports detailed inspection of distant assets without requiring the aircraft to fly as close to the subject.
• 34× Hybrid Optical Zoom: Extended zoom capability allows operators to examine fine details from a greater stand-off distance, with maximum zoom of up to 400× available when required.
• 1280 × 1024 Radiometric Thermal Imaging: The H30T's native high-resolution thermal sensor captures detailed infrared imagery at up to 1280 × 1024, improving visibility of smaller temperature differences and thermal anomalies.
• Radiometric Temperature Measurement: Spot, area and centre-point measurements allow temperature data to be captured directly from inspected assets, with configurable alerts available for thermal monitoring.
• UHR Infrared Image: Ultra-High Resolution infrared imaging helps maintain clearer thermal imagery at higher digital zoom levels, supporting more detailed remote inspection.
• Extended Temperature Measurement: The thermal camera supports high- and low-gain measurement modes, with an Infrared Density Filter extending the supported measurement range up to 1,600°C.
• Night Scene Mode: Enhanced low-light imaging supports operations after dark, with selectable frame rates for different night-time inspection requirements.
• NIR Auxiliary Light: An 850 nm NIR light provides additional illumination in dark environments, producing an approximately 8 m diameter illuminated area at 100 m under DJI's stated conditions.
• Laser Range Finder: Measure targets from 3 m to 3,000 m, supporting accurate positioning and distance measurement during inspection and situational-awareness missions.
• Smart Capture: Intelligent image processing automatically adjusts camera parameters according to the scene and available lighting to improve photo quality across changing conditions.
• Telephoto Stabilisation: DJI's image stabilisation algorithms help reduce shake in long-range zoom imagery, supporting clearer inspection of assets such as powerlines and other infrastructure.

Flight Performance and Challenging Environments

• Long-Endurance Flight Performance: The Matrice 400 is designed for extended missions, helping large inspection areas, utility networks and distributed assets be covered with fewer interruptions.
• Up to 6 kg Payload Capacity: The Matrice 400 provides substantial payload capacity and a flexible mounting architecture for demanding enterprise operations.
• IP55 Aircraft Protection: Dust and water resistance supports operation in demanding outdoor environments, with the aircraft designed for temperatures from -20°C to 50°C.
• IP54 H30T Protection: The Zenmuse H30T carries an IP54 protection rating under controlled conditions and is designed for operation from -20°C to 50°C.
• Power-Line-Level Obstacle Sensing: Rotating LiDAR, high-precision mmWave radar and low-light fisheye vision help identify small obstacles, including powerlines, in challenging terrain and lighting conditions.
• Aircraft Fusion Positioning: LiDAR, radar and vision sensing work together to provide omnidirectional sensing and stable positioning around challenging surfaces such as glass façades, wind turbines, bridges and other complex structures.
• Full-Colour Vision Assist: Four low-light fisheye sensors provide additional visual awareness to support safer operations in reduced-light environments.

Video Transmission and Connectivity

• O4 Enterprise Enhanced Transmission: The aircraft's ten-antenna system and high-gain phased-array controller antenna provide long-range image transmission for inspections across large and remote sites.
• Enhanced Cellular Connectivity: Two optional DJI Cellular Dongle 2 units can allow the system to select the stronger available carrier network, helping improve connection stability where cellular coverage varies.
• Airborne Relay: One Matrice 400 can operate as an airborne relay for another aircraft, extending transmission coverage for inspections in mountainous terrain and other obstructed environments.

Intelligent Inspection and Flight Operations

• Smart Detection: When paired with the Zenmuse H30 Series, the Matrice 400 can use visible and thermal imaging to detect vehicles, vessels and subjects, with high-resolution grid photography and advanced tracking capabilities supporting detailed observation.
• Power Line AR: Wire obstacles detected by the aircraft can be represented as augmented-reality lines on the controller display, providing clearer awareness when operating around power infrastructure.
• Map View AR: Building and landmark names can be displayed in real time, while major roads are highlighted on the controller to improve situational awareness in complex environments.
• AR Flight Waypoint: Preview the aircraft's planned route during Return-to-Home, obstacle sensing and FlyTo operations, while AR Aircraft Shadow helps operators verify the intended landing position.
• Live Annotations: Mark points, measure distances and calculate areas directly from the controller, with results able to be synchronised to DJI FlightHub 2 for wider team collaboration.
• Cruise: Maintain a selected flight direction without continuous control-stick input, reducing operator workload during long-distance and linear inspection missions.
• FlyTo: Automatically adapt route and speed to the surrounding environment while travelling to a selected destination.
• Smart Track: Maintain accurate subject positioning with automatic zoom adjustment and reacquisition if a tracked subject is temporarily obscured.
• Point of Interest: Orbit a designated asset or area while maintaining observation, supporting repeatable fixed-point inspection and visual documentation.
• Ship-Based Takeoff and Landing: The Matrice 400 can take off from stationary vessels and land on moving vessels using deck landing-point patterns, extending inspection capabilities to offshore and maritime assets.
