DJI Matrice 400 engineered for excellence, designed for unmatched versatility. DJIs newest enterprise flagship stretches flight endurance, payload flexibility, and situational awareness further than any Matrice to date. With a class-leading 59-minute forward-flight time, a 13.2 lb / 6 kg maximum payload, and a triple-layer obstacle-sensing suite that pairs rotating LiDAR with mmWave radar and full-color low-light vision, the M400 empowers power-grid engineers, search-and-rescue crews, surveyors, and AEC professionals to cover more ground in fewer flightsday or night, rain or shine.

Extended Flight Time & High-Speed Performance

• Fly Longer 59 min forward flight / 53 min hover* keeps wildfire overwatch, wide-area SAR, and long-corridor mapping missions on a single battery set.
• Arrive faster 25 m/s ( 56 mph) max cruise slashes transit legs while the obstacle-sensing array actively scans for buildings, towers, and terrain.
• TB100 Intelligent Flight Batteries deliver up to 400 charge cycles, self-heat below 50 F (10 C), and recharge to 100 % in just 45 min** inside the BS100 station.

Multi-Payload, Multi-Scene Versatility

DJI Matrice 400 – 6kg (13lbs) Payload Capacity

Four E-Port V2 interfaces, dual downward gimbals, and a third underslung gimbal connector let the M400 fly up to seven simultaneous payloads. Seamlessly switch between single – or dual-gimbal set-ups to suit the assignment.

Compatible Payloads:

• Zenmuse H30 Series 5-in-1 sensor block (wide, zoom, thermal, LRF, NIR) shattering day-to-night ISR limits.
• Zenmuse L2 LiDAR 240 k pts/s frame-based LiDAR + 4/3 RGB for centimeter-grade point clouds.
• Zenmuse P1 Photogrammetry full-frame, 45-MP stills at 0.7 s intervals with 24 / 35 / 50 mm lenses.
• Zenmuse S1 Spotlight & Zenmuse V1 Speaker 32 W LEP long-throw lighting and 114 dB PA for night SAR, crowd comms, and tactical ops.
• Manifold 3 100 TOPS NVIDIA processing unlocks onboard AI models and advanced autonomy.

Safe and Reliable Flight

Built for Challenging Conditions

Rated IP55, the Matrice 400 performs dependably in harsh environments, shrugging off heavy dust and rain. Designed for temperature extremes, it delivers consistent performance from 20 C to 50 C (4 F to 122 F), ensuring reliable results in both frigid and scorching conditions.

Power-Line-Level Obstacle Sensing

An integrated rotating LiDAR + mmWave radar + full-color low-light vision system detects obstacles as small as 0.85 in / 21.6 mm conductors at speeds up to 56 mpheven in fog, rain, or total darkness. Six fisheye cameras switch to black-and-white below 12 lux for enhanced contrast, while GNSS + Vision Fusion maintains precise positioning in GPS-denied canyons, under bridges, and alongside glass-curtain facades.

Robust Video Transmission & Airborne Relay

• O4 Enterprise Enhanced streams 1080p / 60 fps up to 24.9 mi / 40 km (FCC) line-of-sight.
• Sub-2 GHz fallback & dual 4G DJI Cellular Dongle 2 keep the downlink alive in RF-dense metros and remote valleys.
• Airborne Relay mode turns a high-hover M400 into a skyborne repeater, extending C2 links for a second drone beyond ridgelines or deep inside urban canyons.

Aircraft Fusion Positioning & Full-Color Vision Assist

Rotating LiDAR, radar, and fisheye vision fuse with dual-band GNSS to create centimeter-class positional accuracyeven when primary satellites fade. Four full-color fisheye sensors feed Full-Color Vision Assist, overlaying a pilot-eye view on the controller to reveal blind-spot hazards during complex maneuvers.

Enhanced Intelligence & Operational Efficiency

Smart Detection

Paired with the H30 Series, onboard AI auto-labels vehicles, vessels, and people across visible and thermal feeds, pushing real-time metadata to FlightHub 2 for team-wide situational awareness.

Smart AR Projection

• Power-Line AR highlights conductors as bold on-screen vectors, slashing pilot workload in lattice corridors.
• Map View AR labels buildings, landmarks, and core roadways in real timeday or night.
• AR Waypoint & Landing Shadow previews RTH routes and projects an on-ground aircraft shadow to nail pinpoint touchdowns.

Real-Time Terrain Follow

Maintains constant AGL in any horizontal directionperfect for slope mapping, forest SAR, or uniform-GSD photogrammetry.

Takeoff & Landing on Ships

Pattern-recognition landing detects deck markers and lands safely on vessels moving 10 knots (11.5 mph). Critical for coastal patrol and offshore turbine inspection.

Intelligent Flight Modes

• Cruise lock heading and speed for mile-long linear surveys without thumb fatigue.
• FlyTo single-tap rerouting with obstacle-aware path planning to the clicked waypoint.
• Smart Track auto-zoom, subject re-acquisition, and hands-off orbiting for persistent target coverage.
• POI automated 360 orbits and 3D modeling of assets such as stacks, spires, or cell towers.

Easier Automated Operations

The M400 natively supports DJI Pilot 2 quick-task templates, slope and geometric route planners in FlightHub 2, and power-line follow missions when paired with the Zenmuse L2 LiDAR. Onboard compute continuously analyzes LiDAR returns to auto-sidestep crossing conductors during energized-line patrols.
