DJI Matrice 4TD - Optimized Thermal Intelligence for Demanding Missions
The DJI Matrice 4TD is a high-performance commercial drone tailored for critical thermal, visual, and environmental intelligence. With a max flight time of 47 minutes and IP55-rated weather resistance, it's designed for deployment in unpredictable conditions. From precision powerline inspections to 24/7 public safety response, the Matrice 4TD pairs endurance with superior imaging.
Engineered with advanced obstacle sensing-combining rotating LiDAR and millimeter-wave radar-it achieves wire-level detection, enabling safe navigation in complex industrial spaces. Its powerful 48MP tele camera captures fine details from up to 250 meters, while UHR thermal capabilities provide accurate temperature data even in total darkness.
