The DJI Matrice 400 is DJI's most powerful enterprise hexacopter — engineered for professionals who operate in the toughest environments. With a 59-minute flight time, 6 kg dual payload capacity, rotating LiDAR + mmWave radar for power-line detection, and three gimbal ports, the M400 sets a new standard for industrial aerial operations. Built for inspection, mapping, public safety, and beyond.
DJI's Most Capable Enterprise Hexacopter
The Matrice 400 represents the apex of DJI's enterprise lineup. A hexacopter platform built around redundancy, endurance, and payload versatility — purpose-built for power-line inspection, photogrammetry, public safety, and complex industrial workflows where failure is not an option.
At its core is a rotating LiDAR sensor combined with mmWave radar, giving the M400 the ability to detect and avoid power lines — one of the most hazardous elements in aerial operations. Pair that with three Zenmuse payload ports, a 59-minute endurance record, and O4 Enterprise video at 20 km, and you have the most mission-capable commercial drone DJI has ever built.
Power-Line LiDAR Detection
The M400 is the first DJI drone to feature a rotating LiDAR combined with mmWave radar, enabling it to detect ultra-thin power lines, cables, and wires at distance. This breakthrough gives inspection teams the confidence to fly close to live infrastructure with an active safety net.
Three-Port Payload System
Two downward-facing E-Port Lite gimbal mounts plus one upward-facing port let you carry multiple Zenmuse sensors simultaneously — capturing RGB, thermal, and LiDAR data in a single pass. Configure for any mission without compromising data quality.
59-Min Endurance & Redundancy
Dual TB100 batteries deliver up to 59 minutes of hover time with no payload. Triple-redundant IMUs, dual compasses, and hexacopter motor redundancy mean the M400 can land safely after a single motor failure — essential for beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations.
O4 Enterprise + Airborne Relay
The O4 Enterprise system delivers 4K/30fps live video at ranges up to 20 km. The Airborne Relay feature lets a second M400 in the air act as a signal repeater, dramatically extending control range in valleys, urban canyons, or complex terrain.
Key Use Cases
⚡ Power-Line & Utility Inspection
The M400 was engineered with utilities in mind. Its rotating LiDAR and mmWave radar detect transmission lines and cables before they become a hazard, while the triple-port payload system captures thermal, zoom, and LiDAR data simultaneously — cutting multi-sensor inspection missions from days to hours.
🗺️ Large-Area Photogrammetry & LiDAR Mapping
With the Zenmuse P1 or L2/L3, the M400 covers vast areas with centimetre-level accuracy in a single flight. The extended endurance and wide operating altitude envelope make it the mapping platform of choice for large-scale survey, forestry, and civil engineering projects.
🔍 Search & Rescue
Time is critical in SAR missions. The M400's 59-minute endurance, O4 Enterprise 20 km video link, and Airborne Relay capability let teams maintain continuous communication and video coverage across remote or obstructed terrain — with thermal night-vision via the Zenmuse H20N.
🏗️ Industrial & Infrastructure Inspection
From wind turbines and oil refineries to bridges and high-rise facades, the M400 delivers stable, high-resolution imagery even in Level 7 winds. Its IP55 rating and -20°C cold-weather capability keep missions running regardless of conditions.
🌿 Precision Agriculture & Environmental Monitoring
Multiple payload ports enable simultaneous multispectral and LiDAR data collection for crop health monitoring, terrain analysis, and conservation mapping — making each flight more data-rich and reducing total mission count.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Matrice 400 different from the Matrice 350 RTK?
The M400 is a hexacopter platform with significantly higher payload capacity (6 kg vs 2.7 kg), rotating LiDAR + mmWave radar for power-line detection, three payload ports (vs two), and longer flight time (59 min vs 55 min). The M400 is purpose-built for heavier, more complex multi-sensor missions where safety redundancy and raw endurance are critical.
Can the Matrice 400 detect power lines automatically?
Yes. The M400 features a rotating LiDAR sensor combined with mmWave radar specifically designed to detect thin, high-voltage cables and power lines at range. This is the first time DJI has integrated power-line obstacle detection into a commercial drone, making the M400 the premier choice for utility inspection operations.
How many payloads can the M400 carry at once?
The M400 has three E-Port Lite gimbal ports — two downward-facing and one upward-facing. This allows it to carry up to three Zenmuse sensors simultaneously, for example the Zenmuse H20T (thermal + zoom), Zenmuse L2 (LiDAR), and an upward-facing sensor in a single mission.
What is the Airborne Relay feature?
Airborne Relay allows a second M400 in the air to act as a signal repeater between the remote controller and the primary aircraft. This dramatically extends operational range in terrain where direct line-of-sight communication is blocked — such as valleys, canyons, forests, or dense urban environments.
What is the M400's wind resistance rating?
The Matrice 400 is rated for Level 7 wind resistance, meaning it can operate safely in sustained winds up to 15 m/s (approximately 54 km/h or 33 mph). Combined with its IP55 weather sealing and -20°C cold-weather capability, the M400 is built to keep flying when other drones cannot.
Is the DJI Matrice 400 compatible with DJI FlightHub 2 and DJI Dock?
Yes. The M400 integrates fully with DJI FlightHub 2 for enterprise fleet management, real-time mission monitoring, and multi-aircraft coordination. It is also compatible with DJI Dock 2 for fully automated, dock-based beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations, enabling 24/7 autonomous inspection workflows.
