DJI Matrice 400 Standard, The Next Evolution in Enterprise Drones
DJI Matrice 400 Standard redefines what’s possible in aerial operations. Engineered for peak performance, it delivers extended flight endurance, adaptable payload capacity, and next-level situational awareness. Boasting an industry-leading 59-minute forward flight time, a maximum payload capacity of 13.2 lb (6 kg), and an advanced triple-layer obstacle sensing system—featuring rotating LiDAR, mmWave radar, and full-color low-light vision—the M400 is built to excel in the most demanding environments. Whether supporting power grid inspections, search and rescue missions, land surveying, or AEC applications, the M400 enables professionals to accomplish more with fewer flights, in any condition—day or night, rain or shine.
The DJI Matrice 400 stands out with an impressive maximum flight time of 59 minutes when paired with the H30T payload—and approximately 53 minutes in hover mode—making it ideal for long-duration missions such as power-line inspections, wide-area mapping, and critical emergency response operations . Built with resilience in mind, DJI Matrice 400 Standard is IP55-rated, capable of withstanding rain, dust, and harsh conditions across a wide temperature range of –20 °C to 50 °C .
Extended Flight Time, High Speed Performance
The DJI Matrice 400 Standard sets a new benchmark in endurance and reliability, delivering up to 59 minutes of forward flight time—even while carrying a payload—and up to 53 minutes of hovering duration. These extended flight capabilities make it an ideal platform for continuous operations such as search and rescue, firefighting, and wide-area mapping. With the ability to detect and avoid large obstacles, including buildings and terrain features, at flight speeds up to 25 m/s, the M400 ensures safe and efficient navigation in complex environments.
Adaptable Payloads. Seamless Scene Integration
The DJI Matrice 400 Standard is built to adapt, with a robust 6 kg (13.2 lb) maximum payload capacity that meets the diverse demands of enterprise missions. Its modular design supports seamless transitions between a single downward gimbal and a dual downward gimbal setup. With four external E-Port V2 interfaces, the M400 can simultaneously support up to seven payloads—making it a true multi-mission platform, ready for complex, data-intensive operations.
