Matrice 300 RTK (UK version)

What is it good for? The Matrice series has been the drone of choice for mapping, inspection, and surveying since the now vintage Matrice 100, through the M200 series and now DJI has raised the bar again with the M300. The Matrice 300 has quickly become the most popular enterprise drone for all kinds of industrial applications. With a great range of possible configurations and options, the M300 supports both the latest sensors produced by DJI along with 3rd party sensors such as those of Micasense and others for users wanting to use the airframe for applications not covered by the DJI sensor range. With improved weather resistance over the M200 series (IP45 over the IP43 rating of the M210 V2), the M300 has improved water resistance. While this doesn’t mean it’s entirely waterproof, and the water resistance of the sensors attached to the drone becomes a factor when operating in inclement weather, it does mean that the airframe can function in light rain and speaks of the build quality of the drone. With the welcome addition of hot-swappable batteries, the user is able to swap out one of the batteries without powering down the drone, saving time when out on the job. The drone won’t take off if the battery locking knob isn’t secured in place, offering an additional level of protection when swapping out batteries quickly between flights. The FPV Camera on the M300’s has a larger, wider angle than the FPV camera on the 200 series with increased resolution and video quality. The DJI M300 is equipped with a greatly improved obstacle avoidance system than the M200 series, with sensors on the back for rear obstacle avoidance, sensors on the sides for side obstacle avoidance, and sensors on the top and the bottom. With the addition of dual-vision and ToF sensors on all six sides of the airframe, offering a maximum detection range of up to 40 m and the ability for the user to determine certain parameters for obstacle avoidance it offers a great improvement on the M200. The RTK system on the M300 has 2 different paired-antenna sets located at the rear of the airframe. The RTK system can be used with the D-RTK 2 ground station (same base station as the M210 V2 RTK) or a local NTrip network/ground station such as Emlid Reach RS2 or similar. With the addition of a range of new sensors released specifically for the M300, including the P1 photogrammetry sensor, L1 LIDAR sensor, H20 camera, and H20T thermal sensor, the M300 is quickly becoming a favourite drone for a wide range of use cases. This IP45-rated drone sets a new standard, combining intelligence with reliability, with a 55-minute maximum flight time, advanced AI capabilities, six directional sensing and positioning, and the ability to carry three payloads – including hybrid camera solutions designed specifically for the platform. To give operators peace of mind when executing commercial missions, the M300 RTK comes with a complimentary DJI Enterprise Shield (DJI Care Enterprise) – Basic. Two replacements are included in the protection package for a little cost. Who is it for? With such a wide range of sensors available for the M300, it is the go-to solution for all types of applications. Construction, Inspection, and Surveying professionals are speeding up their workflows on projects utilising the P1, H20T, and L1 sensors for large-scale mapping, modeling, and inspection work, while the emergency services and Search and Rescue are able to make great use of the M300 paired with the H20T and it’s high-resolution thermal capabilities alongside the laser range finder. The M300 allows for a wide array of options and configurations in regard to gimbals, cameras, durability, flight characteristics, and precision. Upward gimbals, two or more downward gimbals, compatible with a range of high-performance sensors, and many more customization options make the M300 a top choice for industrial applications of all kinds.
