The DJI Zenmuse P1 is a full-frame photogrammetry payload designed for the Matrice 300 RTK, 350 RTK, and Matrice 400. This listing includes the DJI DL 35mm F2.8 LS ASPH lens — a versatile focal length suited to a wide range of mapping missions, from large-area 2D orthomosaics to detailed 3D oblique capture. With a 45 MP full-frame sensor, global mechanical shutter, TimeSync 2.0 microsecond-level synchronisation, and 3 cm horizontal / 5 cm vertical absolute accuracy without GCPs, the P1 sets the benchmark for aerial photogrammetry efficiency and precision.
45 MP full-frame accuracy. 3 km² per flight. No GCPs required.
Features
- 45 MP full-frame sensor (35.9 × 24 mm) with 4.4 μm pixel size — low-noise, high-sensitivity imaging extends daily operational hours and delivers sharp detail across large survey areas
- Includes DJI DL 35mm F2.8 LS ASPH lens with 63.5° FOV — a flexible focal length for topographic mapping, 3D oblique capture, urban planning surveys, and detailed reconstruction workflows
- Global mechanical shutter at up to 1/2000 s eliminates rolling shutter distortion for accurate imagery at high flight speeds
- TimeSync 2.0 synchronises the camera, flight controller, RTK module, and gimbal at the microsecond level — delivering 3 cm horizontal and 5 cm vertical absolute accuracy without ground control points
- Minimum photo interval of 0.7 s enables coverage of up to 3 km² in a single flight at 3 cm GSD
- Smart Oblique Capture automatically rotates the gimbal to capture multi-angle imagery for 3D reconstruction — covering up to 7.5 km² in a single workday, with up to 50% post-processing efficiency gains by capturing only essential edge-area photos
- 3-axis stabilised gimbal with ±320° pan range supports 2D orthomosaic, 3D oblique, and detailed modelling mission modes in a single payload
- Fieldwork Report generated immediately post-flight for in-field data quality verification — position data, image count, RTK status, and positioning accuracy at a glance
- Smart data management centralises photos, GNSS raw observation data, and TimeStamps.MRK files under mission name and time for streamlined post-processing
- Interchangeable DJI DL mount lenses — compatible with 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm options for mission-specific focal length selection
- Compatible with DJI Matrice 300 RTK, Matrice 350 RTK, and Matrice 400 via detachable DJI Skyport mount

FAQ
Why choose the 35mm lens over the 24mm or 50mm?
The 35mm lens (63.5° FOV) offers a balance between coverage area and image detail, making it the most versatile choice for general-purpose photogrammetry. The 24mm lens (84° FOV) covers a wider area per image and suits large-scale topographic surveys where maximum efficiency is the priority. The 50mm lens (46.8° FOV) delivers higher detail per image and is better suited to detailed modelling, facade inspection, and high-resolution cadastral work. If you're mapping a variety of terrain types and project sizes, the 35mm is typically the best starting point.
Can the P1 achieve survey-grade accuracy without ground control points?
Yes. When flown with an RTK-equipped aircraft (Matrice 300 RTK, 350 RTK, or Matrice 400), the P1 combined with TimeSync 2.0 delivers 3 cm horizontal and 5 cm vertical absolute accuracy without the need for GCPs. This significantly reduces fieldwork time and makes it possible to survey areas where placing GCPs is impractical or unsafe.
What aircraft is the Zenmuse P1 compatible with?
The Zenmuse P1 is compatible with the DJI Matrice 300 RTK, Matrice 350 RTK, and Matrice 400. It connects via the DJI Skyport detachable mount. It is not compatible with the Matrice 30 Series or Matrice 4 Series.
What is Smart Oblique Capture and when should I use it?
Smart Oblique Capture automatically rotates the P1's gimbal to capture imagery from multiple angles in a single flight — forward, backward, left, right, and nadir — eliminating the need for multiple separate passes. It's designed for 3D reconstruction missions such as urban planning, smart city modelling, and cadastral surveys. The system also intelligently skips non-essential edge-area photos, reducing post-processing time by up to 50%.
What post-processing software is compatible with the P1?
The P1 outputs standard JPEG and RAW image files along with GNSS raw observation data and TimeStamps.MRK files, which are compatible with leading photogrammetry platforms including DJI Terra, Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape, and Context Capture. The structured mission data output — organised by mission name and time — simplifies import and processing across all major workflows.
