The DJI Matrice 4T is DJI's most advanced compact thermal enterprise drone — purpose-built for public safety, search and rescue, infrastructure inspection, and any mission where seeing the invisible makes the difference.
Six sensors in a single 1,219 g airframe: wide, medium-tele, telephoto (112× zoom), radiometric thermal, laser rangefinder, and NIR flashlight — all integrated, all simultaneous, all controlled from the DJI RC Plus.

DJI Matrice 4T — The Thermal Intelligence Standard
The Matrice 4T represents a new benchmark for compact enterprise drones. Where other aircraft force operators to choose between zoom, thermal, or ranging capability, the M4T delivers all three simultaneously in a sub-1.3 kg airframe that deploys in 15 seconds from any location.
Its O4+ Enterprise transmission gives teams a 25 km real-time video link, while radiometric thermal imaging and a 1,200 m laser rangefinder provide the precise target data that public safety, SAR, and industrial inspection teams depend on.
112× Hybrid Zoom
Four optical lenses covering 82° down to 15° FOV with 112× hybrid zoom. Identify faces, licence plates, and equipment defects from safe standoff distances without flying closer.
Simultaneous Thermal + Zoom
Run the 640×512 thermal and telephoto cameras at the same time on a live split screen. No mode switching, no missed events — both feeds streaming to the RC Plus simultaneously.
Backpack-Ready Deployment
At 1,219 g and folding compact, the M4T goes from bag to airborne in 15 seconds. Omnidirectional obstacle avoidance and O4+ transmission keep every mission safe and connected.
6-in-1 Sensor Payload
The M4T integrates six sensors that work together simultaneously — no payload swaps, no landing, no missed intel.
Wide Camera
1/1.3″ CMOS · 48 MP · f/1.7 · 82° FOV · 4K video. Primary situational awareness lens with exceptional low-light performance.
Medium Tele Camera
1/2″ CMOS · 48 MP · f/2.8 · 35° FOV. Mid-range detail for bridging the gap between wide context and telephoto close-up.
Telephoto Camera
1/2″ CMOS · 48 MP · f/2.8 · 15° FOV · 112× hybrid zoom. Read plates and faces from safe standoff distances.
Thermal Camera
640×512 IR · 14° FOV · NETD ≤40 mK · Radiometric. Detect hotspots, heat signatures, and missing persons in complete darkness.
Laser Rangefinder
3–1,200 m range · ±0.2 m accuracy. Delivers precise GPS coordinates of targets for SAR handoffs and infrastructure positioning.
NIR Flashlight
850 nm · 680 lux · invisible illumination. Lights scenes for the wide camera without alerting subjects or blinding bystanders.
Key Use Cases
🚨 Public Safety
Law enforcement and fire agencies deploy the M4T for crowd monitoring, suspect tracking, and fire assessment. The 112× zoom identifies individuals at distance while thermal imaging reveals hotspots and hidden threats in total darkness.
🔍 Search & Rescue
The M4T's radiometric thermal and laser rangefinder give SAR teams precise GPS coordinates of missing persons — even in dense bush, heavy fog, or subzero conditions. NIR illumination enables clear video at night without visible light.
⚡ Power Line Inspection
Fly transmission corridors to detect hotspots, vegetation encroachment, and insulator damage. Telephoto and thermal run simultaneously so operators capture both structural and thermal data in a single pass.
☀️ Solar Farm Audit
Survey large PV arrays in one flight. Radiometric thermal pinpoints underperforming cells, bypass diode failures, and soiling patterns across hectares — all with precise temperature data for each anomaly.
🏭 Oil & Gas
Inspect tanks, flare stacks, and pipeline corridors for thermal anomalies and structural defects at safe standoff distances. No scaffolding, no rope access, no shutdowns.
🌲 Forestry & Wildfire
Map active fire fronts in real time, monitor hotspot status after suppression, and conduct wildlife surveys. GPS-tagged thermal targets give ground teams exact coordinates for rapid response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the M4T use thermal and zoom cameras at the same time?
Yes. The Matrice 4T streams thermal and telephoto (or wide) feeds simultaneously to the DJI RC Plus in a split-screen view. Operators can monitor both channels in real time without switching modes.
What is the range of the laser rangefinder?
The integrated laser rangefinder has a range of 3 to 1,200 metres with ±0.2 m accuracy. It overlays precise GPS coordinates on the target — critical for SAR handoffs and infrastructure documentation.
How does the M4T compare to the Zenmuse H20T payload?
The M4T integrates similar capability — zoom, thermal, laser, NIR — directly into the aircraft body, whereas the H20T is a Zenmuse gimbal for the Matrice 300/350 RTK. The M4T is significantly more compact and portable, while the M300/M350 + H20T offers a larger platform with higher endurance and payload flexibility.
Is the DJI Matrice 4T IP rated?
The M4T carries an IP43 rating, providing splash and light rain resistance. It is not designed for immersion or heavy rain, but handles typical field conditions including light precipitation and dusty environments.
