The DJI Matrice 30T is DJI Enterprise's compact, IP55-rated quadcopter built around an integrated four-sensor payload: a 48 MP zoom camera, a 12 MP wide camera, a 640 × 512 radiometric thermal imager, and a 1,200 m laser rangefinder, all stabilized on a single gimbal. The airframe folds into a backpack-sized footprint, takes off in under a minute, and delivers up to 41 minutes of flight time on dual TB30 batteries. Paired with the DJI RC Plus and DJI Pilot 2, the M30T is built for the operations where you need a full sensor stack on scene in minutes: search and rescue, fire response, law enforcement, industrial inspection, and night operations.
Four sensors on one gimbal, IP55, 41-minute flight time, foldable into a backpack. The M30T is DJI's mid-class enterprise quadcopter for public safety and inspection.
Features
- Four imaging modules in a single stabilized payload: 48 MP zoom (113-405 mm equivalent), 12 MP wide, 640 × 512 radiometric thermal, and a 1,200 m Class 1M laser rangefinder. No payload swap, no second flight.
- IP55 weather rating for sustained operation in rain, dust, and harsh field conditions across a -20 °C to 50 °C (-4 °F to 122 °F) operating range
- Hot-swappable dual TB30 batteries with built-in self-heating, so the aircraft can launch reliably in cold weather without external warming, and packs can be exchanged without powering down between flights
- Up to 41 minutes of flight time and a 7 kg maximum takeoff weight with standard 1671 propellers; switch to the 1676 high-altitude propellers for operations up to 7,000 m above sea level
- DJI O3 Enterprise transmission for up to 15 km of unobstructed range (FCC) with low-latency 1080p live video to the controller
- DJI RC Plus controller with a 7.02-inch 1080p, 1,200 cd/m² high-brightness display, IP54 rating, GPS / Galileo / BeiDou positioning, and an internal-plus-external battery design that delivers about 6 hours of operation
- DJI Pilot 2 mission software with smart features: AI Spot-Check for repeatable comparison shots, High-Res Grid Photo for detailed area capture, PinPoint for marking and broadcasting targets, and Smart Track for following a moving subject
- Auxiliary navigation lights with 5 m effective illumination for nighttime takeoff, landing, and orientation
- Built-in FPV camera with 161° DFOV at 1080p 30 fps, plus a primary gimbal feed up to 3840 × 2160 30 fps
- Folds into a compact carry case and deploys in under one minute, which is the difference between a first-on-scene tool and a vehicle-bound asset

Sensor and mission features
- AI Spot-Check. Saves a reference framing and exposure, then automatically reproduces the same shot on subsequent flights. Critical for change-detection inspections on towers, substations, and infrastructure where the same asset is photographed across months or years.
- PinPoint. Tap a location in the live feed; the aircraft computes its real-world coordinates and broadcasts them to ground crews and to other M30T aircraft in DJI FlightHub 2. Built for search-and-rescue handoffs and for marking subjects of interest in DFR operations.
- High-Res Grid Photo. Operator picks an area in the wide camera frame; the zoom camera automatically captures a grid of high-resolution stills and stitches them into one detailed image. Useful for inspection passes where the operator wants both context and resolution.
- Smart Track. Identifies and follows a vehicle, vessel, or person in the gimbal feed while the aircraft keeps the subject framed. Manual override is always available; the operator stays in command.
- Laser-assisted measurement. The 1,200 m rangefinder provides target distance and elevation, which DJI Pilot 2 fuses with the aircraft's GNSS position to produce accurate coordinates for PinPoint targets and Smart Track subjects.
Who this is for
- Public-safety agencies running DFR, search-and-rescue, suspect tracking, and traffic / scene management programs that need a multi-sensor aircraft on scene in under five minutes
- Fire-service crews fighting structure fires, wildland fires, and wildland-urban interface incidents who need radiometric thermal, wide-area situational awareness, and zoom for evolving scene tactics
- Law-enforcement agencies operating day and night, where the integrated zoom, thermal, and rangefinder reduce the need for separate aircraft or specialized payloads
- Inspection teams in energy, utility, oil and gas, telecom, and renewables, who need to combine visual inspection, thermal hot-spot detection, and accurate target geolocation in a single flight
- Government and federal customers working under enterprise IT and data-handling requirements, including those using DJI FlightHub 2 On-Premises for closed-network operations

FAQ
What's the difference between the M30 and the M30T?
Same airframe, same flight performance, same controller, same software. The M30T adds the 640 × 512 radiometric thermal camera and the laser rangefinder to the camera payload; the standard M30 has the zoom and wide cameras only. If your mission profile includes night work, thermal hot-spot detection, or target geolocation at distance, the M30T is the right aircraft.
How long does it fly?
Up to 41 minutes of flight time and 36 minutes of hover time on a full pair of TB30 batteries, per DJI's published lab data. Real-world endurance is shorter and depends on payload draw, wind, altitude, aggressive maneuvering, and temperature. Plan conservatively, and use DJI Pilot 2's flight-time estimator on the controller before takeoff.
Does it work in the rain?
The M30T is rated IP55 for rain, snow, and dust resistance, so it can fly in adverse weather where comparable aircraft are grounded. The IP rating is not permanent — DJI notes it may degrade over time with use, and it does not authorize flight in active downpours or submerged conditions. Dry the aircraft and accessories after wet operations.
What altitude can it reach?
With the standard 1671 propellers and no additional payload, 5,000 m above sea level. With the 1676 high-altitude propellers (sold separately as a swap-in set), 7,000 m above sea level. Operators flying in mountainous terrain or on high plateaus should plan on the 1676 set as part of the kit.
Is the aircraft on the Blue UAS Cleared List?
No. The DJI Matrice 30T is not on the DIU Blue UAS Cleared List and is not NDAA Section 848 compliant. Federal and DoD buyers with NDAA procurement requirements should look at Blue UAS Cleared aircraft like the Freefly Astro Max NDAA. State and local agencies that do not have an NDAA procurement requirement can operate the M30T under their normal authorities.
Can I geolocate a target from the aircraft?
Yes. The PinPoint feature uses the gimbal pointing data, the aircraft's GNSS position, and the 1,200 m laser rangefinder to compute real-world coordinates for any pixel in the live feed. Coordinates can be broadcast to other M30 aircraft in DJI FlightHub 2 and to ground crews, which is why the M30T is a common DFR and search-and-rescue platform.
How long can I keep flying with hot-swap batteries?
The TB30 hot-swap feature allows you to replace one battery at a time without powering down the aircraft, so the controller and gimbal stay live between flights. Practical hot-swap intervals depend on how quickly your ground crew works, but the design lets you keep the M30T in the air across most of a shift with two crews rotating batteries through the BS30 charging station.
Does it support RTK positioning?
Yes. The M30T accepts the DJI RTK module (sold separately) for ±0.1 m horizontal and vertical hovering accuracy. Pair it with a DJI D-RTK 2 or D-RTK 3 base station, or with an NTRIP service, for centimeter-grade positioning on inspection and survey work.
Do I need a Part 107 license to fly this?
Yes, for commercial operation in the United States. The FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate is the standard credential for commercial drone work. Public-safety agencies operating under Part 89 or public aircraft authorities follow different rules; consult your agency's policy. The aircraft ships ready to comply with FAA Standard Remote ID broadcast requirements.
Is training available?
Yes. We offer in-person and virtual training, plus Part 107 exam prep, for agencies and operators bringing the M30T into service. Contact us about scheduling training alongside the aircraft purchase.
