DJI Matrice 30T

The DJI Matrice 30T Camera

The DJI M30T has an extremely powerful set of sensors, which are comparable to the capabilities of the H20T camera. For example, the M30T has a 48 megapixel zoom camera with 16x optical zoom and 200x digital zoom. In addition, there is a 12 megapixel Wide camera. We also know the Laser Rangefinder with a range of 1200m from the DJI Zenmuse H20T camera. The 4th sensor in the M30T is a 640x512px Thermal imaging camera. Despite the fact that the sensors are comparable to the H20T, it has become much smaller (from 828 grams for an H20T to 320 grams for the M30T camera). DJI achieved this by moving the ISP (Image Signal Processing) Chip from the gimbal to inside the Matrice 30T drone. This allowed the camera to be a lot smaller, but it also required no less than 96 cables to pass through a 6mm hole to get all the sensors and images from the gimbal to the ISP. Solving this challenge is one of the reasons why the DJI M30T has become so compact.

A Robust Platform

The DJI Matrice 30T can be seen as the little brother of the Matrice 300. It is therefore not surprising that despite its more compact size, the DJI M30T is an extremely powerful and reliable platform. The DJI Matrice 30T has an IP55 Rating, which allows the M30T to withstand the most extreme (weather) conditions. The device can be used in temperatures from -20 to +50 degrees and can handle a wind speed of no less than 15 m/s. The top speed is 23 m/s. The M30T is also full of (redundant) sensors. The DJI Matrice 30T is equipped with an FPV camera that has a special low light mode, so that you can still see well in the dark to orient yourself. Just like the Matrice 300, the DJI M30T has obstacle detection on all sides, redundant sensors and backup systems and the DJI Matrice 30T is able to perform a 3 propeller emergency landing. No less than 4 antennas ensure, in combination with the OccuSync 3 video protocol, that the connection continues to work in all circumstances.

Foldable design

The DJI Matrice 30T has a compact design that is easy to fold. The arms can be folded with a Quick release system. When you unfold them, they automatically click into place. To fold them, you only have to press the lock on the arm to unlock it and fold it back in. In terms of landing gear, the DJI M30T is very similar to a Mavic. Instead of a large landing gear, the camera is on the front instead of under the drone and the M30T lands on small feet on the bottom. This also saves an extra step when preparing the M30T, so that it can be made ready to fly in less than 1 minute!

TB30 Batteries

The DJI Matrice 30T uses a new type of battery: the DJI TB30. By using 2 TB30 batteries at the same time, the DJI M30T is not only redundant in terms of battery, but you can also Hot Swap them. This allows you to replace the batteries one by one with a new set, without having to restart the M30T. This allows you to continue your flight immediately after replacing the batteries. These batteries are also made of a new chemical composition called Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide. This ensures, among other things, that the TB30 batteries last for at least 400 cycles. With a set of 2 TB30 batteries, the DJI M30T flies for no less than 41 minutes.

Data Security

The DJI Matrice 30T has taken over many data features from the Matrice 300. For example, the DJI M30T has the option to install updates offline, without having to connect to the internet. The Local Data Mode and the option to provide the SD card with AES encryption are also built into the DJI M30T as standard.

DJI RC Plus

With the release of the DJI Matrice 30T, a new remote has also been released. The DJI RC Plus. This remote is specially made for the most demanding pilots. The DJI RC Plus is equipped with a 7 inch touchscreen with a brightness of no less than 1200 Nits. This makes the screen always easy to read, even in full sun. In addition, this is the first DJI remote with an IP rating. The IP 54 rating ensures that the remote can be used without any problems in all weather conditions, even in the rain. In addition to the standard buttons such as the joysticks and camera wheels, there are also 6 buttons placed next to the screen. These can be linked to various functions. For example, you can place functions such as switching between cameras, settings or displaying the map directly under a shortcut key, without having to touch the screen. Just like the Smart controller Enterprise from DJI, the DJI RC Plus is powered by a WB37 battery. In addition, the RC Plus also has a built-in battery, so this WB37 can also be changed without any problems during the flight. In terms of connections, the DJI RC Plus has a Micro SD, USB, HDMI and USB-C connection.
