The DJI Matrice 4E is a compact, intelligent multi-sensor enterprise drone purpose-built for geospatial applications including surveying, mapping, construction, and mining. It integrates a 4/3-inch mechanical shutter wide-angle camera, a 48 MP medium tele camera, a 48 MP telephoto camera, and a laser range finder into a folding airframe weighing just 1,219 g. With a built-in RTK module, O4 Enterprise video transmission reaching 25 km, up to 49 minutes of flight time, and omnidirectional obstacle sensing, the Matrice 4E sets a new benchmark for field-deployable precision mapping platforms.
Compact enough to carry anywhere. Capable enough to map everything — with centimetre-level accuracy built in.

FAQ
What is the difference between the Matrice 4E and Matrice 4T?
The Matrice 4E is designed for geospatial applications — surveying, mapping, construction, and mining — and features a 4/3-inch mechanical shutter wide-angle camera with RAW output and built-in RTK for centimetre-level accuracy. The Matrice 4T is designed for inspection and public safety applications and replaces the wide-angle mechanical shutter camera with a larger aperture sensor optimised for night vision, and adds a thermal infrared camera and NIR auxiliary light. Both models share the same airframe, battery, and medium tele and telephoto cameras.
Does the Matrice 4E include RTK?
Yes. The Matrice 4E has a built-in RTK module supporting the extended L5 frequency band and GNSS+Vision Fusion Positioning. It delivers 1 cm + 1 ppm horizontal accuracy and 1.5 cm + 1 ppm vertical accuracy in RTK Fix mode, and supports rapid takeoff within 15 seconds.
What remote controller is included with the Matrice 4E?
The Matrice 4E is controlled by the DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise, which uses the O4 Enterprise video transmission system for a range of up to 25 km (FCC). It supports internet-connected terrain map loading for automated obstacle avoidance path planning and runs DJI Pilot 2 for mission planning and execution.
Can third-party payloads be attached to the Matrice 4E?
Yes. The Matrice 4E includes an E-Port interface supporting PSDK-compatible third-party accessories and payloads, with a maximum payload capacity of 200 g. An E-Port Lite interface is also available for USB connection to DJI tuning software and select third-party PSDK devices. Note that accessories must be installed before powering on the aircraft.
What mapping software is compatible with the Matrice 4E?
The Matrice 4E is designed to integrate with DJI Pilot 2 for mission planning, in-flight survey quality reporting, and RTK status monitoring. FlightHub 2 supports fleet management and real-time data sharing. The mechanical shutter wide-angle camera outputs DNG RAW files compatible with industry-standard photogrammetry software including DJI Terra, Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape, and others.
