DJI
Matrice 400 (NA) SP Plus
Inspection corridors are tighter, data requirements are higher, and flight windows are shorter than ever. The DJI Matrice 400 is built for the teams operating in those conditions - delivering up to 59 minutes of endurance, power-line-level obstacle sensing with rotating Lidar and mmWave radar, and a 6 kg payload platform that supports up to seven simultaneous sensors in a single flight.
- Cover more ground before a single battery swap: 59-minute maximum flight time with the H30T at sea level means inspection teams spend more time on structure and less time on the ground. Power and civil survey crews flying long linear corridors land fewer times per sortie.
- See obstacles a standard drone cannot detect: The integrated rotating Lidar scans 360 degrees horizontally and detects power lines as thin as 21.6 mm steel-core aluminium stranded wire at 35 metres. The six-direction mmWave radar adds redundant detection up to 50 metres on the same wire gauge, and the omnidirectional full-colour fisheye vision system provides low-light situational awareness in any direction.
- Carry the payload the mission demands: Six kilograms of payload capacity accessed via four E-Port V2 interfaces and a third gimbal connector with quick-release or screw-lock fastening. Supports Zenmuse H30, H30T, L2, P1, S1 spotlight, V1 speaker, and third-party payloads via open data interfaces.
- Precise positioning where GNSS alone is not enough: RTK GNSS with GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and GLONASS delivers centimetre-level accuracy horizontally and vertically. Fusion positioning combines vision, RTK, and barometric data for stable hover even in constrained airspace.
- Maintain the link in conditions where other systems drop out: O4 Enterprise Enhanced transmission with dual Cellular Dongle 2 support and a sub-2G SDR module gives the operator three independent link channels simultaneously. Up to 40 km range under FCC standard in open environments.
Overview and Who It's For
The Matrice 400 is DJI's enterprise flagship platform, designed for professional teams in infrastructure inspection, utility and power corridor survey, civil and construction survey, emergency response, and public safety operations where payload versatility, long endurance, and all-weather reliability are non-negotiable. The integrated Airborne Relay Video Transmission enables over-mountain and signal-obstructed operations. Smart Detection combines visible and thermal imaging with AR projection of maps, power lines, and return paths to reduce operator cognitive load in complex environments. Automated mission tools including Power Line Follow, Slope Route, Geometric Route, Cruise mode, Smart Track, and real-time manual terrain follow reduce the time between landing and usable data.
This listing is the Matrice 400 (NA) SP Plus Combo. The TB100 battery and BS100 Battery Station are not included in this configuration. If you need a complete kit with batteries and charging station, see the SP Plus Ready-to-Fly Full Package.
Primary verticals:
- Civil and Power - Infrastructure inspection of transmission lines, substations, bridges, and road corridors where long endurance, thin-wire detection, and multi-sensor capability directly affect how much usable data comes back per flight.
- Mining and Aggregate - Site survey, stockpile volumetrics, and haul road monitoring where payload flexibility and RTK positioning accuracy determine data quality at scale.
- Forestry and Environmental - Large-area survey and environmental monitoring where endurance and multi-sensor support enable photogrammetry and Lidar data collection in a single pass.
- Public Safety - Emergency response, search and rescue, and aerial support operations where ship-based takeoff, thermal imaging, AR projection, and speaker and spotlight payload compatibility expand what the aircraft can do on scene.

FAQs
What is the difference between the SP Plus Combo and the SP Plus Ready-to-Fly Full Package?
The SP Plus Combo includes the aircraft, DJI RC Plus 2 controller, carrying case, and accessories but does not include the TB100 Intelligent Flight Battery or the BS100 Battery Station. The SP Plus Ready-to-Fly Full Package includes one TB100 battery and the BS100 Battery Station. If you need a complete operational kit including batteries and charging infrastructure, the Full Package is the right choice. Contact Candrone's Solutions team for guidance on which configuration suits your operation.
What payloads are compatible with the Matrice 400?
The Matrice 400 is compatible with the Zenmuse H30, H30T, L2, and P1 gimbal cameras. It also supports the Zenmuse S1 spotlight, Zenmuse V1 speaker, Manifold 3 edge computing module, DJI Cellular Dongle 2, and third-party payloads via E-Port V2 open data interfaces. Up to seven payloads can be mounted simultaneously, depending on weight configuration and gimbal connector type.
Does the Matrice 400 require an Advanced RPAS certification to operate in Canada?
Yes. The Matrice 400 exceeds the 25 kg maximum take-off weight threshold for Standard Category operations. Advanced Operations certification is required. Specific mission types including BVLOS and operations over people require additional Transport Canada authorisations. Contact Candrone's Solutions team for guidance on operational approval requirements relevant to your specific use case.
What is the mmWave radar used for?
The six-direction mmWave radar provides an additional obstacle detection layer specifically optimised for thin or reflective objects that vision-based systems can struggle to detect in adverse lighting or atmospheric conditions. Its primary application is power line detection - the radar detects 21.6 mm steel-core aluminium stranded wire at up to 50 metres and 12.5 mm wire at up to 36 metres, independent of the Lidar system. Note that mmWave radar functionality is unavailable in some countries and regions.
Can the Matrice 400 take off and land on a ship?
Yes. The Matrice 400 supports ship-based takeoff and landing, enabling offshore inspection, coastal survey, and maritime emergency response applications where ground launch is not possible. Contact Candrone's Solutions team to discuss operational requirements for ship-based missions.
What is Airborne Relay Video Transmission?
Airborne Relay Video Transmission enables the Matrice 400 to relay its video feed through an airborne relay aircraft when operating in terrain-obstructed environments such as mountainous corridors, deep valleys, or urban canyons. This extends effective operational range beyond the direct line-of-sight limit of the standard O4 Enterprise Enhanced transmission link.
