The DJI Matrice 400 is UAV Imaging's flagship industrial aircraft — built for long-endurance inspection, mapping and thermal missions in rough Alberta conditions. Longer flight time, heavier payload capacity and integrated obstacle sensing mean more of a site closes in a single sortie, with fewer landings and less crew exposure.
Specifications
| Attribute | Specification |
|---|---|
| Max flight time | Up to 59 minutes |
| Payload capacity | Up to 6 kg; multi-payload configurations |
| Positioning | RTK GNSS for centimetre-class flight and mapping accuracy |
| Obstacle sensing | Integrated rotating LiDAR + mmWave radar for all-around and low-light obstacle avoidance |
| Transmission range | Up to 40 km operational range (line-of-sight, regulation permitting) |
| Weather rating | All-weather sealed for rain, dust and cold-climate operation |
| Primary payload | DJI Zenmuse H30T five-sensor inspection gimbal |
Why UAV Imaging flies it
- Fewer landings per site — up to 59 minutes of endurance covers a full pit, array or line section in one window instead of stretching the job across battery swaps
- Heavier, smarter payloads — the 6 kg capacity carries the flagship H30T inspection gimbal and dedicated LiDAR mapping payloads without compromise
- Safer close-proximity flight — integrated LiDAR and mmWave obstacle sensing holds position near structures, lines and terrain, including in low light
- Centimetre positioning — RTK keeps stockpile volumes and map deliverables audit-grade and repeatable year over year
- Alberta-hardened — all-weather sealing and cold tolerance keep the aircraft flying through the conditions that ground lighter platforms
How it pairs with payloads
For inspection, thermal and night work the Matrice 400 carries the Zenmuse H30T five-sensor gimbal. For survey-grade mapping and stockpile volumetrics it flies a dedicated LiDAR or mapping payload. For natural gas leak detection it carries the Pergam Falcon laser methane sensor. Confined-space and indoor work moves to the collision-tolerant Flyability Elios 2.
