It carries up to 6 kg of payload for as long as 59 minutes, with an obstacle sensing system built on rotating LiDAR, six-direction mmWave radar, and full-color fisheye vision sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capability that separates it from everything below it is power line-level obstacle detection. A conductor presents almost no cross-section and returns very little signal, which makes thin-obstacle detection the hardest thing an aircraft's sensing system is ever asked to do. The rotating LiDAR is built for that problem specifically, and it is what makes utility corridor work practical rather than nerve-wracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulti-payload support is the second differentiator. The aircraft accepts up to seven payloads across dual downward gimbals and a third gimbal connector, which means a thermal head and a mapping camera fly the same sortie instead of the same ground being flown twice. For an operator billing by the flight hour, that is one mobilization instead of two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey specifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax flight time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 59 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax hover time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 53 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax payload:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 kg at the third gimbal connector, sea level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTakeoff weight with batteries:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9,740 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax takeoff weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15.8 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax flight distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49 km, no wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax horizontal speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 m\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax takeoff altitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7,000 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWind resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 m\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e −20°C to 50°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropeller size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiagonal wheelbase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,070 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission:\u003c\/strong\u003e O4 Enterprise Enhanced with Airborne Relay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePositioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, GLONASS, integrated RTK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngress protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eADS-B:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard airborne ADS-B In receiver, dual antennas, reception to 20 km\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions unfolded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 980×760×480 mm with landing gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions folded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 490×490×480 mm with landing gear and gimbal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aircraft also supports takeoff from static vessels and landing on moving vessels below 10 knots, which opens up offshore and marine inspection work that most airframes cannot service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e⚙️ Operational Capability\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Matrice 400 is configured to carry heavy, high-value sensor combinations for long durations in demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe platform helps operators:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFly two or more sensors on a single sortie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover large acreage in one battery cycle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetect thin obstacles including conductors and guy wires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow terrain accurately at low altitude\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapture survey-grade positioning through integrated RTK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperate in rain, dust, and marginal weather at IP55\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintain link at distance through O4 Enterprise Enhanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeploy from vessels for offshore and marine work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduce mobilizations by consolidating missions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe consolidation point carries the commercial argument.

Getting a crew, a vehicle, and site access lined up is frequently the largest cost in a survey day, and it costs the same whether the aircraft flies twenty minutes or fifty-nine. An airframe that carries two sensors for an hour retires substantially more billable work per trip than one that carries a single sensor for twenty-five minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe obstacle sensing changes what work is available at all.

It carries up to 6 kg of payload for as long as 59 minutes and uses rotating LiDAR, six-direction mmWave radar, and fisheye vision sensors for obstacle detection at speeds up to 25 m\/s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does this listing include?\u003c\/strong\u003e The aircraft and propellers, brand new. Payloads, batteries, the battery station, and the remote controller are supplied separately so the kit can be matched to the mission and to an existing fleet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the payload sold separately?\u003c\/strong\u003e Because payload choice is mission-specific and expensive enough to be worth getting right. A survey-grade LiDAR sensor and a thermal-plus-visual head do entirely different work and differ in cost by many thousands of dollars. Bundling forces a decision the operator should be making on their own terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes its obstacle sensing different?\u003c\/strong\u003e Power line-level detection. A conductor presents almost no cross-section and returns very little signal, which makes thin-obstacle detection the hardest task a sensing system faces. The rotating LiDAR is built for that specific problem, which is what makes utility corridor work practical on this airframe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many payloads can it carry at once?\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to seven, across dual downward gimbals and a third gimbal connector, with 6 kg total capacity measured at the third connector at sea level. Payload capacity decreases as altitude increases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it the same as the Matrice 4T or Matrice 4 Series?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The M400 is a larger, separate airframe carrying substantially more payload, and its parts do not interchange with the Matrice 4 Series. If you are sourcing components, confirm which line your aircraft belongs to first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it fly from a boat?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, within limits. It supports takeoff from static vessels and landing on moving vessels below 10 knots, with a clear 3 m × 3 m deck area and no payloads attached to the underside during the maneuver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat controller and batteries does it use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise Enhanced controller and TB100 Intelligent Flight Batteries. The aircraft uses a single battery rather than a dual-battery configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I get replacement parts for it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
