DJI Matrice 400 Gimbal Detail

DJI Matrice 400 — Frequently Asked Questions

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

The DJI Matrice 400 (M400) is a next-generation enterprise platform for inspections, surveying, mapping and public-safety tasks. It supports interchangeable payloads (thermal, zoom, LiDAR, photogrammetry) and adds advanced all-round obstacle sensing for safer missions.

How long can the M400 fly?›

Can be up to 59 minutes but endurance depends on payload, temperature, wind and flight profile. With light payloads and calm conditions you can expect extended flight times suitable for corridor surveys and long inspection runs. Plan conservatively and keep battery turnaround logistics ready on site.

Is the Matrice 400 weather-resistant? What’s the IP rating?›

The airframe is IP55-rated for outdoor work, offering dust and water-jet resistance. This is not a “waterproof” claim avoid heavy rain and always inspect seals, doors and gaskets after field use.

How good is obstacle sensing on the M400?›

The M400 fuses omnidirectional vision with rotating LiDAR and mmWave radar for robust 3D awareness, improving detection of slim structures such as cables and masts. Always maintain VLOS and fly with prudent margins.

Does the M400 support offline work and data security controls?›

Yes. You can operate without network connectivity and control data transfer paths. Limit log syncing, keep media on encrypted cards, and apply internal IT policies for evidence handling. For sensitive UK sites, use air-gapped workflows and documented chain-of-custody.

How do I get RTK corrections in the UK (NTRIP vs base station)?›

Most teams use an NTRIP subscription via 4G/5G on the controller for convenience. For weak signal areas or repeatable jobs, a local RTK base gives reliable, consistent corrections. Always confirm mountpoint, datum and antenna setup before flight.

What’s the best way to plan mapping missions for UK farms and estates?›

Fly at consistent AGL with terrain follow where needed.
Start around 70–80% overlap/sidelap for RGB mapping; increase in wind.
Use RTK and place a few check points to validate accuracy.
Avoid strong sun angles for uniform imagery; keep lenses clean and dry.

Can the M400 integrate with cloud platforms and live streaming?›

Yes—enterprise controllers support live streaming and Cloud API workflows. For remote stakeholders, configure a low-latency stream and use role-based access. Where connectivity is patchy, record locally and sync when back online.

What UK approvals do I need to fly the M400 commercially?›

Operations are usually in the Specific category. Expect to need a GVC, a CAA Operational Authorisation, and insurance. For complex work, build a SORA-based safety case. Keep ops manuals current and brief your crew.

How should I care for batteries in hot/cold UK weather?›

Charge within the advised temperature range; never when packs are hot.
Shade packs in summer; pre-warm in winter before heavy loads.
Rotate cycles evenly; store around storage SOC when idle for weeks.
Update firmware and follow on-screen maintenance prompts.

Can the M400 operate safely near power lines and metal structures?›

Use conservative speeds and extra standoff near EMI sources. The enhanced sensing stack improves awareness, but pilots must maintain VLOS and consider manual modes where reflections or narrow gaps could mislead sensors.

What’s the recommended maintenance schedule for enterprise use?›

Pre-flight: props, arms, latches, gimbal mounts, antennas, batteries.
Post-flight: wipe down, inspect for moisture/dust, log hours.
Routine: firmware checks, calibration, prop replacement by hours/cycles, battery health review.
Annual: deeper inspection and documentation for audit trails.

Does the M400 work with relay solutions for difficult terrain and long corridors?›

Yes—consider a dedicated relay in rolling landscapes, forestry edges or urban fringes. Position it to preserve line-of-sight and reduce signal occlusion by hedgerows, buildings or topography.

What payload should I choose—thermal, LiDAR or photogrammetry?›

Thermal/Zoom (H30T-class): inspections, search, night ops.
LiDAR (L2-class): fast terrain/vegetation structure capture, low-texture scenes.
Photogrammetry (P1-class): high-res mapping/3D models with strong RGB texture.

Many fleets carry both LiDAR and RGB across projects for best results.

Can I fly at night or in low light in the UK?›

Yes, subject to your Operational Authorisation and risk assessment. Use adequate lighting, strong VLOS practices and consider additional spotters. Calibrate sensors and confirm home point and compass health before take-off.

How do I keep firmware and apps under control for a multi-pilot team?›

Standardise on tested firmware versions and document update windows.
Keep a “gold image” controller as a reference for rapid rollback.
Train crew on change logs and new safety behaviours after updates.

What’s the best way to transport the M400 and payloads on UK roads?›

Use rugged cases with foam cut-outs, remove payloads during transport, and secure batteries in approved containers. Keep an equipment checklist in the vehicle and store MSDS for any site materials you’ll interact with.

M400 for agriculture: can it support crop mapping and variable-rate workflows?›

Yes—pair the M400 with a photogrammetry payload (e.g., P1-class) or a multispectral platform (separate aircraft) to generate indices and prescription maps. Use RTK for boundary accuracy and export to agronomy/GIS tools for variable-rate plans.

What UK training and support does Drone Sales UK provide?›

We offer onboarding, UK-focused training, ops manual guidance, and ongoing technical support. We can also help with payload selection, RTK setup, relay options and post-processing workflows.

Which controllers does it use? Can two pilots control it?›

The M400 uses the DJI RC Plus 2 (Enterprise) family. Dual-operator features vary by firmware and payload—check current release notes. For most UK workflows, one pilot plus a spotter is a common, efficient setup.

Which payloads are compatible?›

Typical options include the Zenmuse H30/H30T (zoom/thermal), Zenmuse L2 (LiDAR) and Zenmuse P1 (full-frame photogrammetry), plus enterprise accessories like spotlight and speaker modules. Confirm the latest compatibility list before purchasing.

Does it support RTK for survey-grade work?›

Yes—RTK/NTRIP workflows are supported for cm-level positioning and repeatable lines. For mapping, combine RTK with good mission design and check points to validate absolute accuracy.

What batteries and chargers does the M400 use?›

The Matrice 4 Series uses high-capacity intelligent flight batteries and matching multi-bay chargers. Charge rates and temperatures are managed by the system; follow on-screen guidance and the handbook for safe operation and storage.

What transmission system does it use? Can I improve coverage on large UK sites?›

The M400 uses O4 Enterprise for a robust control/video link. For complex terrain, vegetation and long corridors, consider strategic pilot positioning, elevated antennas, or a relay solution to maintain line-of-sight and link quality.

Can I use the M400 for UK commercial work? What approvals are needed?›

Yes—most M400 jobs are in the CAA Specific category. You’ll typically need a GVC, an Operational Authorisation and operations manuals. Many operators use a SORA-based safety case for more complex tasks. Always check current CAA guidance.

How much does a DJI Matrice 400 cost in the UK?›

Pricing varies by bundle (aircraft, batteries, chargers, payloads, training). Contact Drone Sales UK for a tailored quote and lead times.

Matrice 400 vs Matrice 350/300 — what’s the difference?›
