DJI Matrice 400

DJI Matrice 400: Command the Skies with DJI's Most Advanced Drone Yet

The DJI Matrice 400 delivers class-leading 59-minute forward-flight endurance—even with payloads—outlasting its predecessor by over 50%. Whether it’s wide-area mapping, power line inspection, or emergency response, the M400 is built to go further, faster, and smarter.

With a max cruise speed of 25 m/s and a next-gen obstacle avoidance system that combines rotating LiDAR, mmWave radar, and full-color low-light vision, the M400 flies confidently through complex environments—urban, industrial, or remote.

From first light to night ops, it maintains precision and awareness, even in rain, fog, or darkness. The Matrice 400 redefines operational efficiency: no more constant battery swaps, no more mission restarts. Just relentless performance, mission after mission.

Key Features

• 59-minute forward flight time with payload; 53-minute hover
• 25 m/s max cruise speed; rapid area coverage
• 6 kg payload capacity across 7 mounts and 4 E-Ports
• Rotating LiDAR + mmWave radar + full-color night vision sensing
• IP55 rated; operates from −20 °C to 50 °C
• O4 transmission system; sub-2 GHz + dual 4G backup; 40 km range
  
• Supports onboard Manifold 3 computing and third-party payloads

Payload Freedom for Any Scenario

The M400 isn’t just a drone—it’s a multi-tool in the sky. With a reinforced airframe supporting up to 6 kg across seven mounting hard-points and four advanced E-Port V2 interfaces, it supports simultaneous deployment of DJI native and third-party payloads.

You can run an H30T multi-sensor camera, a spotlight, loudspeaker, LiDAR, or Manifold 3 onboard compute—at the same time.

Whether you’re collecting high-density point clouds, conducting offshore inspections, or running custom AI models in-flight, the M400 adapts to your needs without requiring multiple airframes. The result: reduced pack-out weight, faster readiness, and unmatched flexibility on-site.

Rock-Solid Links and Smart Autonomy

O4 Enterprise Enhanced keeps you connected with ultra-low-latency 1080p/60fps video up to 40 km (FCC), backed by sub-2 GHz fallback and dual 4G dongle support to power through dense RF interference.

Airborne Relay mode turns a high-hovering M400 into a communication repeater, extending range into valleys, over ridgelines, or behind buildings.

Autonomous flight capabilities are smarter and more intuitive than ever: terrain-following, FlyTo, Cruise, Ship-Based Landing, and Smart AR Projection transform complex operations into streamlined workflows.

Paired with Zenmuse H30 Series or L2 LiDAR, onboard AI actively labels objects and enables real-time metadata streaming—boosting team-wide situational awareness and safety.

Compatible Payloads

The Matrice 400 supports a wide array of DJI and third-party payloads, thanks to its four E-Port V2 connectors and seven mounting points. Switch between sensors or fly multiple simultaneously to match the needs of any mission.

• Zenmuse H30 Series: A powerful 5-in-1 sensor system with wide-angle, zoom, thermal, laser rangefinder, and NIR. Ideal for ISR, SAR, and tactical surveillance—day or night.
• Zenmuse L2 LiDAR: Delivers 240,000 pts/s with a frame-based LiDAR system and a built-in RGB camera for high-density, high-accuracy 3D point clouds.
• Zenmuse P1 Photogrammetry: 45MP full-frame sensor with 0.7-second interval capture; perfect for mapping, surveying, and digital twin creation.
• Zenmuse S1 Spotlight: 32-watt long-range LEP lighting cuts through darkness and fog for clear night visibility.
• Zenmuse V1 Speaker: Broadcasts audio at 114 dB for crowd control, disaster response, and search-and-rescue comms.
• Manifold 3: An onboard edge computer with 100 TOPS of NVIDIA® processing power—enabling advanced AI, autonomy, and real-time decision-making.
• Third-Party Payloads: Use open E-Port and PSDK 2.0 interfaces to mount and integrate multispectral sensors, gas detectors, water samplers, tethered power modules, and more.

Real-World Applications

• Public Safety: Day-and-night SAR with thermal imaging, loudspeaker comms, and spotlighting. Launch from moving ships with onboard deck detection.
• Utility & Powerline Inspection: Fly complex lattice corridors with Power-Line AR and GNSS+Vision positioning. Relay mode ensures connectivity in mountainous regions.
• Geospatial Mapping: Cover 60% more area per flight with centimeter-level data via Zenmuse P1 or L2. Terrain-follow ensures even GSD across slopes and valleys.
• Renewable Energy: Inspect offshore turbines or vast solar arrays in low-GNSS environments with total situational awareness and AR overlays.
• Specialty Operations: Run onboard AI or collect water, gas, or dust samples using custom sensors—all without changing airframes.
