DJI Matrice 400: Flagship Enterprise Drone, 6kg Payload, 59-Min Flight Time

Overview

Enterprise Flagship Drone Platform With 59-Minute Flight Time and Power-Line-Level Obstacle Sensing

The DJI Matrice 400 is a heavy-lift enterprise drone designed for power line inspection, surveying, mapping, public safety, emergency response, and industrial operations.

Featuring a 6 kg payload capacity, up to 59 minutes of flight time, and advanced obstacle sensing with rotating LiDAR, mmWave radar, and low-light vision sensors, it delivers exceptional endurance, situational awareness, and mission flexibility.

The Matrice 400 supports up to seven payloads simultaneously and integrates seamlessly with DJI's flagship payload ecosystem.

Released in June 2025, it represents a significant leap over its predecessor—nearly 50% longer effective flight time, double the transmission range, and a sensing suite capable of detecting overhead power lines at speeds up to 25 m/s.

The M400's versatility is built into its architecture. Four external E-Port V2 ports allow up to seven payloads to be mounted simultaneously, supporting flexible single or dual downward gimbal configurations alongside topside accessories.

The DJI O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission system delivers 3-channel 1080p/30fps live view at up to 40 km (FCC) — double the range of the O3 system — and the built-in airborne relay module allows one M400 to extend signal coverage for a second M400 operating in obstructed terrain.

Highlights

• 59-minute flight time: forward flight endurance measured with H30T payload at sea level.
• 6 kg payload capacity: supports up to seven simultaneous payloads via four E-Port V2 ports.
• Rotating LiDAR: 360° horizontal, 58° vertical FOV with 520,000 points/second point frequency.
• mmWave radar: six-direction sensing detects power lines up to 50 m in all-weather conditions.
• 40 km transmission: O4 Enterprise Enhanced system delivers 3-channel 1080p live view at range.
• Airborne relay: built-in module allows one M400 to relay signal for a second M400.
• IP55 protection: operational in rain, dust, and temperatures from -20°C to 50°C.
• 7,000 m ceiling: max takeoff altitude supports high-elevation and mountainous terrain operations.
• ADS-B In: standard dual-antenna airborne receiver with detection range up to 20 km.
• RTK positioning: 1 cm + 1 ppm horizontal accuracy with microsecond-level synchronization.
• Zenmuse H30 and H30T: all-weather multi-sensor payload with wide-angle, zoom, thermal, laser rangefinder, and NIR auxiliary light.
• Zenmuse L2: LiDAR payload with frame-based LiDAR, high-accuracy IMU, and 4/3 CMOS RGB mapping camera.
