Matrice 4E

Q: What is the difference between the Matrice 4T and the Matrice 4E?

Both carry a 48 MP medium tele camera, a 48 MP tele camera and a laser rangefinder. The 4T adds a thermal camera, an NIR light and a 48 MP wide camera, for public safety and search and rescue. The 4E has a 4/3 CMOS 20 MP wide camera, for surveying and mapping.

Q: Is it waterproof?

No. If it starts to rain, bring it back and land, and fly again once it is completely dry. For all-weather missions there are the Matrice 4TD (IP55, dock-based) and the Matrice 400 (IP55).

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

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

Q: How does its oblique capture compare with the Zenmuse P1?

Both shoot in five directions in a single flight. The Matrice 4E moves the camera in an "X" pattern, the P1 in a "+" pattern.

Q: How long does the battery take to charge?

With the 100 W hub, about 78 minutes to full or 60 minutes to 90%. With the 200 W hub, about 55 minutes or 40 minutes to 90%.

Q: How does it connect to network RTK without 4G?

Over the remote controller's Wi‑Fi.
