The DJI Matrice 400 (M400) is an enterprise drone platform designed for UK organisations that need long endurance, advanced obstacle sensing and a flexible payload ecosystem. It’s ideal for utilities, infrastructure inspection, public safety, surveying/mapping and environmental monitoring.

Endurance is mission- and payload-dependent; in optimal test scenarios it supports extended flight times to reduce battery swaps and increase on-task time. Plan conservatively for UK conditions (wind, temperature) and payload weight, and build in reserves for safe return-to-home.

The M400 supports a broad DJI payload ecosystem including multi-sensor camera gimbals, LiDAR, and full-frame photogrammetry, plus accessories such as a spotlight and loudspeaker. Speak to Drone Sales UK for the latest compatibility matrix and recommended bundles for your workflow.

The platform combines high-fidelity environment perception (including rotating LiDAR and mmWave radar elements) to enhance obstacle awareness in complex sites, around cables and structures, and in mixed lighting. Always verify avoidance settings during your pre-flight checks.

M400 works with the DJI RC Plus controller and an enterprise-grade transmission link for resilient command and video in challenging RF environments. UK/EU operation is CE-compliant—always maintain VLOS and follow CAA rules.

The airframe is weather-resistant and designed for enterprise use, but you should avoid heavy precipitation and operate within wind and temperature limits stated in the manual. After wet or dusty jobs, clean and dry components and inspect payload ports and gimbals.

Yes—RTK-enabled workflows are supported when paired with compatible bases or network corrections (NTRIP). For photogrammetry and LiDAR, RTK/PPK improves absolute accuracy and line repeatability. Use ground control or check points where specifications require.

Range figures quoted in marketing assume ideal conditions. In UK operations, you must remain within visual line of sight (VLOS) and comply with local airspace rules. Plan for RF congestion, terrain masking and weather, not just theoretical maximums.

The M400 supports multi-payload configurations (e.g., dual or tri) depending on mounts and balance. Multi-sensor setups can capture thermal, zoom, RGB, LiDAR or mapping data in a single flight. We’ll advise on brackets, cabling and weight distribution.

Many enterprise accessories and workflows carry over, but not everything is cross-compatible. Contact Drone Sales UK with your current kit list and we’ll confirm what can be reused versus what requires an update.

Plan and fly with DJI Pilot 2. For data processing and reporting, teams commonly use DJI Terra (photogrammetry/LiDAR), FlightHub-style fleet tools, and specialist third-party software. We can help design an end-to-end workflow for your sector.

Yes—pair with Zenmuse P1 for photogrammetry or L2 for LiDAR. Use RTK, capture with appropriate overlap and speed, and include ground control/check points per your survey spec. Validate results before full deployment.

The M400 power ecosystem supports fast swaps and high-throughput charging to keep the aircraft flying all day. Battery stations streamline multi-crew rotations. We’ll recommend a field-ready kit sized to your mission tempo.

Yes—when equipped with suitable payloads (e.g., thermal, spotlight), the M400 can support night-time tasks where permitted. Ensure appropriate risk assessment, lighting, crew training and compliance with your Operational Authorisation.

Most enterprise operations fall in the Specific category under UK CAA rules. You’ll typically need a GVC, an Operational Authorisation, and, for non-standard/congested ops, a safety case based on SORA. Keep aviation insurance and follow site-specific permissions.

Yes—Drone Sales UK offers onboarding, commissioning, and role-specific training (inspection, mapping, public safety). We can assist with RTK setup, payload calibration, data best practice and crew procedures.

The M400 is an enterprise-grade platform built for daily use. Regularly inspect arms, props, landing gear, gimbal mounts and connectors. Keep a spares kit and follow maintenance intervals to maximise uptime.

Both are multi-sensor camera payloads; the H30T adds a thermal channel for temperature-based inspection and search tasks. We’ll recommend the right variant (and lenses) for your sector and typical stand-off distances.

Zenmuse L2 provides survey-grade point clouds when flown to specification with RTK corrections and appropriate ground control. Accuracy depends on altitude, speed, overlap, scan settings and environmental conditions—perform test lines to validate.

Bundles vary, but usually include the aircraft, RC Plus, batteries, charging solution and case. Payloads (H30/L2/P1), mounts and accessories are tailored to your mission. Ask for a proposal based on your use case and budget.

Yes—business finance and leasing options are available subject to status. We can provide quotes and structure a bundle that aligns with your deployment timeline.

Drone Sales UK provides UK-based after-sales support, warranty handling, spares, repairs and loan gear (subject to availability). We stock common consumables and can build a spare-parts plan for your fleet.

For teams needing longer flights, better obstacle perception and flexible payloads, the M400 can reduce site time and repeat visits—especially on corridors, utilities and critical infrastructure. We can benchmark against your current platform.

Yes—extended endurance, multi-payload options (e.g., LiDAR + RGB) and stronger link/control help capture more high-quality data per day. The result is fewer sorties, quicker processing and higher confidence in deliverables.
