DJI Matrice 30 Series: DJI Enterprise's flagship backpack-able drone

The DJI Matrice 30 and DJI Matrice 30T are both advanced commercial drones from DJI's Matrice series, designed for a variety of industrial and public safety applications.

These drones come equipped with optical and digital zoom camera with 5-16 optical and 200-200 digital zoom, a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera with 4K/30 fps video, and a laser rangefinder that can pinpoint objects up to 1,200 meters away.

The primary difference between the two models lies in their thermal imaging capabilities.

The power of thermal

The DJI Matrice 30T ("T" standing for Thermal) includes a 640x512 radiometric thermal camera in addition to the standard visual camera, laser rangefinder, and other sensors that are present on the Matrice 30.

This thermal camera allows users to capture heat signatures, making the Matrice 30T particularly useful for tasks such as search and rescue operations, firefighting support, and infrastructure inspection where thermal data is critical for identifying hotspots, locating individuals, or assessing the condition of equipment.

High-performance visual cameras

In contrast, the DJI Matrice 30 is equipped with high-performance cameras and sensors for visual inspection and mapping but does not include the thermal imaging capability of the 30T model.

Both drones offer robust features including high wind resistance, rain resistance, and advanced flight and imaging capabilities, but the inclusion of the thermal camera on the Matrice 30T makes it the more versatile option for specific applications requiring thermal data analysis.

These drones offer power, endurance, and capability for demanding professional tasks, but their small size makes them easy to transport and set up quickly.

Integrating the new DJI FlightHub 2 fleet management cloud software and the DJI Dock for remote and unattended operations, M30 Series provides efficiency and innovation to so many industries.

Applications of the DJI Matrice Series Drones Across Industries

  • Search and Rescue Operations: The thermal camera of the Matrice 30T is used to detect heat signatures from living beings in challenging environments - like locating missing persons in dense forests or at night, significantly boosting the efficiency and effectiveness of rescue missions.

  • Firefighting and Emergency Response: Firefighting teams benefit from the Matrice 30T's ability to provide aerial thermal views. By capturing heat data, the drone can help identify hotspots in wildfires or structure fires, guiding firefighting efforts to crucial areas and assessing the risk of spread. This data is needed for strategizing fire suppression and ensuring the safety of personnel on the ground.

  • Infrastructure Inspection: Both the DJI Matrice 30 and 30T drones are used for infrastructure maintenance and inspection, particularly in sectors like energy, telecommunications, and civil engineering. Equipped with high-resolution cameras and laser rangefinders, these drones can access hard-to-reach areas or potentially hazardous environments to inspect power lines, wind turbines, and bridges. 

  • Environmental Monitoring and Conservation: The Matrice series drones can be deployed to monitor wildlife populations, track changes in ecosystems, and even detect illegal activities such as poaching or unauthorized logging. With high-definition video capabilities and the ability to cover large areas quickly, these drones offer conservationists a powerful tool for managing and studying natural environments with minimal disturbance to wildlife.

  • Agriculture and Land Management: Farmers use these drones to assess crop health, monitor irrigation, and manage resources more effectively. The drones' imaging technology can identify areas needing attention, helping to optimize crop yields and reduce waste in water and fertilizers.
