DJI Matrice 400: Heavy-Lift Multi-Payload Enterprise Drone with Rotating LiDAR and Power Line-Level Obstacle Sensing

The DJI Matrice 400 is DJI's enterprise flagship drone platform, released in June 2025 as the successor to the Matrice 350 RTK. It is built for the heaviest professional mission requirements: a 6 kg payload capacity, 59 minutes of forward flight time (measured with the H30T payload at sea level), and a triple-layer sensing system combining rotating LiDAR, six-direction mmWave radar, and full-color fisheye vision sensors.

The rotating LiDAR covers 360° horizontally at 520,000 points per second and can detect a 21.6 mm steel-core aluminum stranded wire from 35 m—the obstacle avoidance capability that power line inspection programs require. The O4 Enterprise Enhanced transmission system extends live view range to 40 km (FCC) with 3-channel 1080p/30fps output and a built-in airborne relay function that allows one Matrice 400 to extend the signal range of a second M400 operating in obstructed terrain.

At DSLRPros, the Matrice 400 is available as a standalone aircraft, with battery station bundles, with DJI Care Enterprise Plus, and in pre-configured mission packages pairing the aircraft with the Zenmuse H30T for public safety and inspection operations.

The full payload and accessory ecosystem: Zenmuse H30T, Zenmuse L3 LiDAR, Zenmuse P1 photogrammetry, MicaSense RedEdge-P multispectral, Sentera 6X Thermal, gimbal connectors, RTK stations, Manifold 3, and field tools, is stocked and available to configure.

DSLRPros is a DJI Enterprise Gold Partner with over a decade of enterprise UAV deployment experience, providing pre-sale configuration guidance, fleet planning, and post-purchase support for every Matrice 400 order.

DJI Matrice 400 Platform Architecture and Flight Specifications

The Matrice 400 is a hexarotor-class heavy-lift aircraft with a 1,070 mm diagonal wheelbase and 25-inch propellers. It weighs 5,020g (11.1 lbs) without batteries and 9,740g (21.5 lbs) with both TB100 batteries installed. Maximum takeoff weight is 15.8 kg. The airframe folds to 490 x 490 x 480 mm for transport in the included carrying case (779 x 363 x 528 mm). It carries an IP55 rating and operates between -20°C and 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) without solar radiation.

Maximum forward speed is 25 m/s (55.9 mph), maximum ascent is 10 m/s, and maximum wind resistance at takeoff and landing is 12 m/s. Maximum takeoff altitude is 7,000 m (22,966 ft). Forward flight time is 59 minutes and hover time is 53 minutes — both measured at sea level with the H30T payload installed. Maximum flight distance is 49 km at 17 m/s in a windless environment.

RTK positioning delivers 1 cm + 1 ppm horizontal and 1.5 cm + 1 ppm vertical accuracy. The aircraft includes a built-in airborne ADS-B In receiver with dual antennas supporting traffic reception to 20 km.

The full aircraft specification table is below.

Matrice 400 Sensing Architecture: Rotating LiDAR, mmWave Radar, and Vision System

The Matrice 400 runs three independent sensing layers simultaneously. The rotating horizontal LiDAR covers 360° horizontally and 58° vertically at 520,000 points per second, detecting a 21.6 mm steel-core aluminum stranded wire from 35 m in standard measurement mode. A six-direction mmWave radar extends wire detection to 36 m for 12 mm wire and 50 m for 21.6 mm wire, operating through rain, fog, and snow where optical sensors cannot.

The omnidirectional binocular vision system uses full-color fisheye sensors across all six directions, with forward and backward detection to 200 m maximum range and lateral detection to 200 m. An upper LiDAR (3D ToF) covers overhead obstacles to 25 m at night, and a downward 3D infrared range sensor handles ground proximity from 0.3 to 8 m. Maximum obstacle avoidance speed is 25 m/s forward — the full rated airspeed of the aircraft.

FAQs

What is the DJI Matrice 400 and who is it designed for?

The DJI Matrice 400 is DJI's enterprise flagship drone platform, released in June 2025 as the successor to the Matrice 350 RTK. It is designed for professional programs operating at the limits of what lighter enterprise aircraft can deliver — operations requiring 6 kg of payload capacity, 59 minutes of forward flight time, power line-level obstacle sensing, and 40 km of transmission range. Primary markets include utility inspection, public safety, large-scale survey and mapping, emergency response, and industrial inspection programs running multi-sensor payload configurations.

How does the Matrice 400's sensing system differ from previous DJI enterprise aircraft?

The Matrice 400 uses three independent sensing layers simultaneously: a rotating horizontal LiDAR covering 360° at 520,000 points per second (capable of detecting a 21.6 mm power line wire from 35 m), a six-direction mmWave radar that detects the same wire from 50 m and operates through rain, fog, and snow, and an omnidirectional full-color fisheye vision system with forward and backward detection to 200 m. Previous platforms like the Matrice 350 RTK used binocular vision and infrared sensing without rotating LiDAR or mmWave radar. The Matrice 400 can maintain obstacle avoidance at its full 25 m/s forward airspeed.

What payloads are compatible with the DJI Matrice 400?

The Matrice 400 supports up to seven simultaneous payloads via four E-Port V2 ports at 120W per port. Compatible payloads available at DSLRPros include the DJI Zenmuse H30T (multi-sensor thermal and optical), DJI Zenmuse L3 (LiDAR), DJI Zenmuse P1 (full-frame photogrammetry), Sentera 6X Thermal, Sentera 6X Thermal Pro, Sentera 65R, MicaSense RedEdge-P (multiple variants), and the Deepthink S3 Tri-Sensor Night Vision camera. Third-party tools including the Rivabyte AD4 throwing device, JZ Drones PT4 drop kit, FoxFury D10 light, and DJI Manifold 3 onboard computing module are also available.

What is the airborne relay function on the Matrice 400?

The Matrice 400 has a built-in video transmission relay module that allows one M400 to act as an airborne signal relay for a second M400 operating in terrain-obstructed environments. When a second aircraft is operating in a valley, behind a ridgeline, or through a mountain corridor where direct RC-to-aircraft line of sight is blocked, the first M400 can hover at altitude and relay the signal between the controller and the second aircraft. This function eliminates the need for a separate relay drone and significantly expands the operational range in complex terrain.

What is the difference between DSLRPros Care Extended Warranty and DJI Care Enterprise for the Matrice 400?

DJI Care Enterprise is DJI's official protection plan covering unlimited free repairs within specified limits and streamlined replacement through DJI's service network. DSLRPros Care Extended Warranty is an exclusive DSLRPros program that covers one replacement for accidental damage — pilot error, collisions, drops, water exposure, signal interference, and internal malfunctions — over 13 months from the ship date. The two are different programs from different providers. The DJI Matrice 400 Aircraft, Zenmuse L3, and Zenmuse P1 are all explicitly listed as eligible for DSLRPros Care. Both options are available at DSLRPros; contact our team if you have questions about which is better suited to your operational requirements.

What battery and charging system does the Matrice 400 use?

The Matrice 400 uses the DJI TB100 Intelligent Flight Battery, which includes self-heating functionality — automatically heating to operating temperature when inserted into the BS100 Battery Station below 5°C, or when installed in the aircraft below 20°C. The BS100 Intelligent Battery Station manages multi-battery charge sequencing for continuous field operations. Battery charge and temperature status are monitored in real time through DJI Pilot 2 and visible on the RC Plus 2 Enterprise Enhanced controller during pre-flight checks.

Can the DJI Matrice 400 operate from a ship?

Yes. The Matrice 400 is certified for ship-based takeoff and landing. DJI recommends using the rear of the vessel for takeoff and landing operations. The aircraft currently supports takeoff from static vessels and landing on moving vessels traveling at speeds below 10 knots. This capability extends operational reach to offshore platforms, coastal infrastructure, and marine survey programs where land-based launch is not practical.
