DJI · Mapping drone for DJI Dock 3

Matrice 4D

Q: What is the difference between the Matrice 4TD and the Matrice 4D?

Both carry a 48 MP medium tele camera, a 48 MP tele camera and a laser rangefinder. The 4TD adds a thermal camera, an NIR light and a 48 MP wide camera for day and night imaging. The 4D has a 4/3 CMOS 20 MP wide camera instead, built for mapping.

Q: Which EU class is it certified for?

It is C2 and C6 certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

Q: Can it fly in the rain?

Yes. It is IP55 rated against dust and water, and flies from the DJI Dock 3 in rain up to 2 mm per hour.

Q: Can it map without ground control points (GCPs)?

Yes, with the Matrice 4D's 4/3 CMOS wide camera. The tele cameras are not used for GCP-free mapping.

Q: How long does the battery take to charge?

In the Dock 3, about 27 minutes from 15% to 95% and about 37 minutes to 100%. With the 240 W charging hub, about 30 minutes from 15% to 90% and about 40 minutes to 100%.

Mapping without anyone on site.
