M400 Total Survey Solution — Premium LiDAR & Photogrammetry Drone Package
Achieve survey-grade accuracy for drone surveying UK, topographic mapping and infrastructure projects with the DJI Matrice 400, equipped with L3 LiDAR and P1 photogrammetry payloads.
M400 Total Survey Solution (L3 + P1)
The M400 Total Survey Solution combines the power of the DJI Matrice 400 with Zenmuse L3 LiDAR and Zenmuse P1 photogrammetry, giving surveyors,
engineers and geospatial teams a complete drone surveying UK platform for topographic mapping, construction monitoring and complex terrain.
Instead of choosing between LiDAR or photogrammetry, this special bundle delivers both: dense, accurate point clouds from the L3 and crisp, 45 MP imagery from the P1. Together, they unlock faster workflows, better deliverables and more billable services from a single aircraft.

Why This Bundle Includes Both L3 and P1
L3 LiDAR – Ground Truth in Any Terrain
The Zenmuse L3 captures high-density LiDAR data with multiple returns, reaching the ground through trees, scrub and rough terrain where cameras alone struggle. It delivers:
- Accurate DTMs and DSMs for engineering design
- Clean ground models under vegetation
- Reliable elevation data for flood and drainage studies
- Corridor mapping for roads, rail and utilities
For LiDAR drone survey UK workflows, the L3 plus RTK-3 positioning gives survey-grade accuracy in a fraction of the time of traditional ground methods.

P1 Photogrammetry – High-Detail Visual Outputs
The Zenmuse P1 uses a 45 MP full-frame sensor and 24 mm lens to create sharp, detailed imagery and models. It is ideal for:
- Orthomosaics for planning and design
- 3D meshes and textured models
- Construction progress mapping and reporting
- Building facades, roofs and structural inspections
For drone mapping UK projects, the P1 gives clients the photorealistic views and documentation they expect alongside traditional survey outputs.

Why You Want Both – In One Package
Many jobs now require more than a simple orthophoto. With L3 and P1 together, the M400 can deliver both engineering-grade data and client-friendly visuals from a single site visit:
- One aircraft, multiple outputs – DTMs, DSMs, point clouds, orthos and 3D models.
- Fewer revisits – capture LiDAR and imagery in the same project window.
- More service offerings – win work in forestry, quarries, construction and infrastructure.
- Better ROI – maximise the value of every flight and every project.
This special bundle is designed so survey and mapping teams don’t have to compromise: LiDAR for bare earth accuracy, photogrammetry for rich visual context — all powered by RTK-3 and the Matrice 400 platform.

M400 Total Survey Solution — Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the M400 Total Survey Solution?›
This bundle includes the DJI Matrice 400 airframe, Zenmuse L3 LiDAR, Zenmuse P1 photogrammetry camera, DJI RTK-3 module, RC Plus controller, TB65 batteries, BS65 charging station, landing gear and all required cables and accessories. It provides a complete drone surveying UK solution for topographic mapping, engineering surveys and construction workflows.
What are the advantages of using both the L3 and P1 payloads together?›
The L3 LiDAR delivers high-accuracy ground point data through vegetation and uneven terrain, while the P1 full-frame camera provides crisp RGB imagery for orthomosaics, 3D modelling and visual documentation. Combining both enables surveyors to produce engineering-grade LiDAR outputs alongside photorealistic mapping, covering every UK survey scenario from woodland to construction sites.
Does the M400 Total Survey Solution include RTK?›
Yes. The package includes the DJI RTK-3 module, enabling centimetre-level positioning for both LiDAR and photogrammetry missions. RTK improves accuracy, reduces reliance on ground control points and ensures consistent results across all drone mapping UK tasks.
Do I need a base station or can I use an NTRIP correction service?›
The RTK-3 can use either a DJI base station or NTRIP network corrections. Most UK surveyors prefer NTRIP for reliable real-time alignment with OSGB36 / British National Grid. A base station is helpful in areas with limited mobile coverage but is not required for typical UK project workflows.
Is the M400 suitable for topographic drone surveying in the UK?›
Absolutely. With L3 LiDAR and RTK-3, the M400 can produce highly accurate DTMs, DSMs, elevation models and contour data suitable for civil engineering, land development, flood-risk studies, utilities and environmental assessments. It handles woodland, scrub and complex sites exceptionally well.
What accuracy can I expect from the L3 LiDAR payload?›
With RTK corrections, the L3 can achieve centimetre-level absolute accuracy, making it ideal forLiDAR drone survey UK applications such as engineering design, transport corridors, utilities
and quarry mapping. Multiple returns and dense point clouds ensure clean ground models, even under canopy.
What does the P1 camera offer for photogrammetry and mapping?›
The Zenmuse P1 features a 45 MP full-frame sensor optimised for high-resolution drone mapping UK. It captures distortion-free imagery for accurate orthomosaics, textured
3D models, building façades, progress reports and planning documentation for construction and surveying firms.
Can the M400 capture LiDAR and photogrammetry data on the same project?›
Yes. Many surveyors run L3 LiDAR flights for accurate ground modelling, followed by P1 photogrammetry flights for high-detail textures and visual outputs. Combining the datasets
produces full digital twins, volumetrics, site maps, DSMs/DTMs, and client-ready 3D visualisations.
Is the M400 suitable for large survey areas and long missions?›
Yes. With hot-swappable TB65 batteries, long flight endurance and reliable transmission, the M400 is ideal for large estates, quarries, forestry, highways, rail corridors and multi-hectare construction sites. Its
rugged design ensures dependable operation in typical UK weather conditions.
What software should I use to process L3 and P1 survey data?›
The M400 integrates with DJI Terra for LiDAR point clouds, photogrammetry workflows, orthomosaics and volumetrics. It is also compatible with Pix4D, Global Mapper, RealityCapture, Esri ArcGIS and most UK-standard GIS/CAD environments used by survey professionals.
Who is the M400 Total Survey Solution designed for?›
This package is ideal for land surveyors, civil engineers, construction firms, infrastructure inspectors, quarry operators, environmental consultants, utility companies and geospatial professionals needing
a complete survey drone package UK capable of both LiDAR and photogrammetry workflows.
