DJI Zenmuse V1 Weekly Rental

The DJI Zenmuse V1 brings 127 dB aerial voice broadcasting to the DJI Matrice 400 and Matrice 350 RTK, enabling public safety, emergency response, and site management teams to deliver clear, directional audio to targets up to 500 metres below the aircraft.

• 127 dB output with 500 m reach: Comparable to a jet engine at 1 metre, the V1 cuts through ambient noise to deliver intelligible audio across large search areas, evacuation zones, and active worksites.
• Three broadcast modes for every scenario: Live record-and-broadcast, text-to-speech with adjustable tone and speed, and pre-loaded audio file playback - all controlled through DJI Pilot 2 with no additional hardware.
• Directional mic with noise cancellation: The DJI RC Plus captures voice directly above the microphone with environmental noise reduction, so live broadcasts stay clear even on chaotic scenes.
• Gimbal-synced with camera payloads: Synchronised tilt control aligns the speaker's acoustic axis with your camera's field of view, ensuring audio is directed precisely at the subject being monitored.

Overview and Who It's For

The Zenmuse V1 is DJI's first speaker payload designed for multi-payload drone platforms. Weighing 690 grams, it mounts to any gimbal connector on the DJI Matrice 400, Matrice 350 RTK, or Matrice 300 RTK, and is fully controlled through DJI Pilot 2. On the Matrice 400, the V1 adds real-time broadcasting capability and intelligent automatic gain control that adjusts volume dynamically based on ambient conditions. Text-to-speech supports English and Mandarin on M350/M300, and six languages including English, Spanish, French, Korean, Japanese, and Mandarin on the Matrice 400.

FAQs

Can the Zenmuse V1 be used at the same time as a camera payload?
Yes. The V1 is designed for multi-payload platforms and mounts to any gimbal connector alongside camera payloads. It synchronises tilt angle with other gimbal-equipped payloads so the speaker's acoustic axis stays aligned with the camera's field of view during tracking missions.

What is the difference between the broadcast modes?
Record and broadcast lets you record a voice message via the RC Plus and immediately transmit it through the speaker. Text-to-speech converts typed text to spoken audio with adjustable tone, speed, and loop playback. Audio file playback lets you upload pre-recorded MP3, AAC, or WAV files for instant on-demand playback during a mission. Real-time broadcasting - live voice transmission without recording - is available on the Matrice 400 only.

What causes howling and how does the V1 prevent it?
Howling occurs when the speaker output is picked up by the microphone and fed back in a loop. The V1 includes a built-in anti-howling algorithm that processes the audio signal to prevent feedback, maintaining clarity during live broadcasts even when the microphone is active.

Does the Zenmuse V1 require the DJI RC Plus?
Yes for Matrice 350 RTK and Matrice 300 RTK. The DJI RC Plus is the only compatible remote for these aircraft and is required for directional audio recording. The Matrice 400 uses its own standard controller.
