Before you buy

Frequently asked questions

Which drones does it fit?

The DJI Matrice 400.

What weight can it hold?

Up to 15.8 kg total takeoff weight.

How does it help with EU classes C5 and C6?

Fitted to an existing Matrice 400 it meets C5 requirements. For both C5 and C6 you need the Matrice 400 (C6) combo, certified at the factory.

How fast does the drone descend?

Up to 5 m/s, when deployed from 30 m or higher.

When does it deploy by itself?

When the drone's or the parachute's sensors detect a flight anomaly, such as abnormal tilt or descent speed, or when the drone leaves a geocage set in DJI Pilot 2.

Can it be deployed manually?

Yes, from the DJI Pilot 2 app or, where supported (e.g. in the EU), from DJI FlightHub 2's flight termination system over 4G.

How often is it replaced?

It is single-use and fully replaced after every deployment. Even if never used, replacement is recommended 3 years after activation.

How well is it protected?

IP55.
