DJI · Drone for DJI Dock 3

Matrice 4TD

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: How does it differ from the Matrice 4T/4E?

IP55 rating, up to 54 minutes of flight and a higher payload. It supports airborne relay, where one drone flies high to keep the link for another in mountains. The arms do not fold.

Q: Can it be flown with a remote controller?

Yes, it pairs with the DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise for manual flight.

Q: Does it support airborne relay when used with the Dock 3?

Not at the moment. For difficult terrain with the Dock 3 there is the D-RTK 3 Relay.

Q: Does it work in the cold?

The battery works from −20 to 45 °C. In the cold flight time is shorter, so plan missions accordingly.

Sees by day and night, wherever it flies.

The thermal drone of the Matrice 4D series, built for autonomous missions from DJI Dock 3. Three 48 MP cameras, a thermal camera, laser and NIR light on one gimbal, with IP55 protection and up to 54 minutes of flight.

Six sensors, one flight.

From a wide view of the area to the detail of a licence plate, then to thermal, without changing anything on the drone. The laser overlays the target’s distance and coordinates on the image.

Night missions

Darkness is no obstacle.

Four low-light fisheye cameras keep positioning and obstacle sensing working in the dark. The thermal camera finds people and hot spots, the NIR light illuminates without being seen.

Flight safety

12 mm wires at 15 m/s.

With the Obstacle Sensing Module, a rotating LiDAR and millimetre-wave radar detect obstacles up to 100 m away, even distribution wires, so the drone flies safely around substations and line crossings.

In any condition

Frost, wind, mountains.

Anti-ice propellers

Low-noise propellers with an anti-ice coating keep flight stable even in freezing rain. Take-off and landing in winds up to 12 m/s.

With a remote too

With DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise it also flies independently of the dock. In mountainous areas a second drone can act as an airborne relay.

With DJI FlightHub 2

Flies, follows, alerts.

Smart Track

Locks on to a vehicle or vessel and follows it with auto-zoom, so the pilot never loses the target.

AI patrols

On a scheduled route it detects vehicles, vessels and thermal anomalies on its own, captures them and alerts the operator.

DJI Dock 3

Its dock, even on a vehicle.

The 4TD is built for DJI Dock 3, DJI’s first dock that also mounts on a vehicle. The crew arrives, the dock opens and the drone is airborne in seconds.
