DJI Zenmuse P1 — Full-Frame Photogrammetry Camera

The DJI Zenmuse P1 integrates a 45-megapixel full-frame sensor, global mechanical shutter and a fixed-focus lens system on a 3-axis stabilised gimbal — engineered for rapid, highly accurate aerial surveying, mapping and inspection missions.

With capability to achieve horizontal accuracy down to 3 cm and vertical accuracy of 5 cm without ground control points, and coverage of up to 3 km² in a single flight, the P1 sets the new benchmark in drone photogrammetry.

Which Lens Should I Add?

DJI P1 24 mm Lens

Fastest coverage and efficient orthomosaic or corridor mapping at moderate detail — ideal for general survey work.

DJI P1 50 mm Lens

Finest detail for façade inspection, volumetric surveys, and high-precision structural mapping.

Tip: Match altitude and overlap to your target GSD and terrain complexity. Use RTK + TimeSync for survey-grade results.

DJI Zenmuse P1 — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DJI Zenmuse P1?›

The DJI Zenmuse P1 is a full-frame photogrammetry camera designed for aerial surveying and mapping. It features a 45 MP sensor, mechanical shutter, and interchangeable lenses, delivering centimetre-level accuracy when paired with RTK/PPK workflows.

Which drones is the P1 compatible with?›

The P1 is compatible with the DJI Matrice 300 RTK and Matrice 350 RTK, using the DJI SkyPort V2.0 interface. Missions are planned and flown using DJI Pilot 2.

What are the key specifications (sensor, resolution, shutter)?›

The P1 has a 45 MP full-frame sensor (35.9 × 24 mm, 8192 × 5460 pixels), 4.4 μm pixel size, and a global mechanical shutter up to 1/2000 s, enabling crisp capture during fast flight.

What lenses are supported and what focal lengths can I use?›

The P1 supports DJI DL series lenses: 24 mm, 35 mm and 50 mm fixed-focus. This allows balancing coverage area with required ground resolution.

How accurate are surveys captured with the P1?›

With RTK or PPK enabled and correct workflow, the P1 can achieve ~3 cm horizontal and ~5 cm vertical accuracy without ground control points, depending on conditions.

How much area can I cover per flight?›

Under typical conditions (~150 m AGL, 75% overlap), the P1 can cover up to ~3 km² in a single flight, depending on battery, terrain and wind.

What mission types are supported?›

The P1 supports 2D orthomosaics, 3D oblique models, corridor mapping, façade and vertical surveys, and detailed reconstruction workflows.

What are the size, weight and operating limits?›

Approx. size is 198 × 166 × 129 mm; weight ~800 g (lens excluded). Operating range: –20 °C to +50 °C; IP4X dust resistance in lab conditions.

Do I need GCPs to get accurate results?›

The P1 can achieve high accuracy without GCPs when RTK or PPK is used properly. However, check points are advised for verification and compliance.

What software can I use to process the data?›

DJI Terra supports full P1 workflows including orthos, point clouds and 3D models. You can also use third-party tools like Pix4D, Agisoft or LP360 as needed.

What are typical UK use cases?›

Common jobs include topographic mapping, site surveys, construction progress, urban planning, forestry, asset inspection and flood modelling.

What accessories or prep is recommended?›

Use quality DL lenses, UHS-I SD cards, RTK or base station, and check calibration. GCPs or checkpoints improve QA. Keep firmware up to date and store dry.
