The Next Leap Forward: Introducing the DJI Matrice 400 RTK for Unparalleled Surveying and Mapping

HLCM Trimble Matrice 400 RTK

The world of geospatial data collection is in a constant state of evolution, with new technologies continually pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. For professionals in surveying, engineering, and construction, staying at the forefront of this evolution is not just an advantage; it’s a necessity. At HLCM, we are committed to equipping our clients with the most advanced tools to enhance their efficiency, accuracy, and safety. Today, we are thrilled to introduce a true game-changer: the DJI Matrice 400 RTK.

Building on the legacy of its predecessors, the Matrice 400 RTK represents a significant leap forward in drone technology. This is not just an incremental update; it’s a redesigned platform engineered to tackle the most demanding projects with unprecedented power and intelligence.

Redefining Performance and Endurance

One of the most significant advancements of the Matrice 400 RTK is its enhanced flight performance. With a maximum flight time of up to 59 minutes, this drone allows for extended operations, enabling the coverage of vast areas without the need for frequent battery swaps. This extended airtime, coupled with a higher operational ceiling, means more data can be captured in a single flight, streamlining fieldwork and maximizing productivity.

Furthermore, the Matrice 400 RTK boasts an impressive maximum payload capacity of 6 kg (13.2 lbs). This substantial increase opens the door for a wider range of high-performance sensors and even multi-payload configurations, allowing for the simultaneous collection of diverse datasets from DJI and third-party payloads.

Compatible payloads include:

  • Zenmuse H30: Multi-sensor for all-weather day/night imaging
  • Zenmuse L2: Frame-based LiDAR for high-precision mapping
  • Zenmuse P1: Full-frame sensor for photogrammetry
  • Zenmuse S1: High-brightness spotlight using LEP laser technology
  • Zenmuse V1: Loudspeaker with long broadcast range
  • Manifold 3: Embedded computer for advanced processing

Multiple third-party payloads e.g., YellowScan LiDAR, MicaSense Multispectral and more.

A New Era of Obstacle Sensing and Safety

Navigating complex environments is a daily reality for surveyors and mapping professionals. The Matrice 400 RTK addresses this challenge with a revolutionary obstacle sensing system. For the first time, a commercial drone integrates both rotating LiDAR and millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar. This fusion of technologies provides unparalleled awareness, enabling the detection of small and hard-to-see obstacles like power lines, even in low-light or adverse weather conditions. This multi-layered approach to safety provides pilots with the confidence to operate in challenging terrains, minimizing risks and protecting valuable equipment.

The robust airframe of the Matrice 400 RTK also features an IP55 rating, ensuring its resilience against dust and water ingress, making it a reliable tool in a variety of environmental conditions.

Superior Data Transmission and Control

Maintaining a stable and clear connection with the aircraft is paramount for mission success. The Matrice 400 RTK incorporates the new DJI O4 Enterprise transmission system, offering a robust and reliable link between the drone and the controller. This advanced system provides a triple-channel 1080p HD live feed and supports a transmission distance of up to 20 kilometers, ensuring a clear and consistent view of the operational area, even at extended ranges.

The HLCM Advantage

The arrival of the DJI Matrice 400 RTK marks a pivotal moment for the geospatial industry. Its advanced capabilities in flight performance, payload capacity, and safety will undoubtedly set a new standard for aerial surveying and mapping.

At HLCM, we understand that integrating new technology into your workflows requires expertise and support.
