Key Features of the DJI Matrice 4E

1. Reliable 49-Minute Max Flight Time with 200g Payload Capacity

With an optimized propulsion system and lightweight frame, the Matrice 4E achieves up to 49 minutes of flight time in no-wind conditions—even while supporting payloads up to 200g. Whether you’re conducting extended infrastructure surveys or continuous thermal monitoring, the drone offers long-lasting endurance to get the mission done without frequent battery swaps. Its max takeoff weight of 1430g keeps it agile while still supporting sensors and payloads essential for critical operations.

2. High-Performance Thermal Imaging with Industrial Accuracy

Equipped with a 640×512 resolution infrared camera operating at 30Hz and a 12μm pixel pitch, the Matrice 4E delivers crisp thermal data in real time. With a thermal sensitivity of ≤50mk@F1.0, it’s capable of detecting subtle heat differences across surfaces—perfect for identifying electrical faults, heat leaks, hotspots in search-and-rescue operations, and wildlife tracking. The infrared camera supports a wide temperature detection range from -20°C to 550°C, enabling detailed inspection in extreme environments.

3. 28x Thermal Zoom + 112x Hybrid Visual Zoom for Ultimate Target Clarity

Visual detail and long-range flexibility go hand-in-hand with the Matrice 4E’s exceptional zoom system. It offers 16x optical and 112x hybrid zoom on the visual spectrum, allowing operators to observe distant structures, license plates, or individuals with impressive clarity. On the thermal side, you get 28x zoom to assess hot zones or heat sources from a safe distance—crucial for fire monitoring, hazardous material detection, or rescue scenarios.

4. Laser Rangefinder with 1800m Range for Accurate Distance Measurements

For precise targeting and geolocation, the integrated laser rangefinder offers a working range up to 1800 meters. It enables the drone to instantly measure the distance to objects or terrain, adding measurable data to your visual or thermal observations—ideal for mapping, scene reconstruction, or structural inspections where measurements are mission-critical.

5. 3-Axis Mechanical Gimbal for Rock-Solid Imaging Stability

The Matrice 4E’s 3-axis mechanical gimbal ensures consistent and stable imaging performance, even under moderate wind resistance of up to 12 m/s. The stabilized tilt, roll, and pan capabilities allow the camera to maintain horizon-lock and image clarity even during complex movements or gusty flight conditions.

6. Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing + 3D Infrared Awareness

Safety is non-negotiable in demanding operations. The drone is equipped with an omnidirectional obstacle avoidance system, supplemented by 3D infrared sensing, to detect and avoid objects in all directions. Whether navigating tight spaces or flying near power lines or trees, the Matrice 4E actively maps its surroundings to maintain safe, autonomous flight routes.

7. Rugged Design with All-Weather Readiness

Designed for diverse operational conditions, the Matrice 4E performs reliably across temperatures ranging from -10°C to 40°C. With a max altitude capability of 6000 meters and resistance to winds up to 12 m/s, it can fly high and hold steady even when the weather doesn’t cooperate. The low-noise 10.8-inch propellers also reduce acoustic disruption, making it well-suited for discreet operations.

8. Expandable Storage with microSD Support (Up to 1TB)

To support high-resolution video, thermal data, and measurement logs, the Matrice 4E offers external storage via microSD cards (U3/Class 10/V30 or above). This flexibility ensures field teams can quickly offload data or swap cards in remote locations without downtime.

How to Clean Your DJI Matrice 4E

• Clean the Body Gently with a Soft Cloth
  Use a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth to wipe down the drone’s body after each flight. This helps remove dust, fingerprints, or tiny airborne debris that may settle during takeoff or landing. Avoid using wet wipes unless necessary, and never apply water directly to the drone.

• Use Compressed Air for Hard-to-Reach Areas
  For propeller joints, motor gaps, and gimbal corners, compressed air is the safest way to remove trapped dirt. Blow air in short bursts to avoid damaging any sensors or internal parts.

• Clean the Gimbal and Camera Lens Carefully
  The Matrice 4E includes a thermal imaging camera and a zoom lens, which are highly sensitive. Use a lens-cleaning tissue or camera lens solution to gently wipe the lenses. Even a small smudge can distort the thermal readings or visual zoom clarity.

• Inspect and Wipe Propellers After Each Use
  Gently remove any dirt, bug residue, or sap that might stick to the propellers. Keeping them clean reduces imbalance during flight and increases efficiency, especially important since this drone uses 10.8-inch propellers.

• Check the Sensor Ports and Infrared Units
  Omnidirectional sensors and infrared sensing units can get foggy or dusty. Wipe them lightly using a dry cotton swab or optical cleaning cloth to maintain obstacle avoidance performance.

How to Take Care of Your Matrice 4E

• Store It in a Dry and Dust-Free Place
  Since the drone supports flying in a wide temperature range (-10°C to 40°C), storing it in a temperature-controlled environment helps maintain performance. Always place it in its designated case or foam-padded storage to avoid accidental damage.

• Charge with the Recommended Adapter Only
  Using a non-certified adapter can damage the 6654 mAh battery or slow the charging process. Stick to DJI’s recommended adapters to avoid performance issues and potential battery swelling.

• Update Firmware Regularly
  Regular firmware updates ensure your Matrice 4E operates with the latest software improvements, including safety patches, thermal calibration upgrades, and obstacle avoidance optimization.

• Avoid Overloading the Payload Capacity
  Although the drone supports a 200g payload, exceeding this limit can strain the motors and affect flight stability. Always verify the payload before flight, especially when using thermal or laser attachments.

• Keep SD Cards and Storage Slots Clean
  Dust inside the microSD slot can lead to data write errors. Periodically check the slot and gently clean it with compressed air. Always use U3/Class10/V30 or higher microSD cards to avoid lagging or corrupted footage.

Safety Tips for Flying the Matrice 4E

• Always Perform a Pre-Flight Check
  Before taking off, ensure that propellers are properly attached, sensors are clean, and the GPS is locked. Check battery levels on both the drone and controller to avoid mid-air shutdowns.

• Stay Within Wind Resistance Limits
  Although this drone can handle up to 12 m/s winds, avoid flying in strong gusts for better footage stability and to reduce wear on the motors.

• Fly Below Max Altitude When Possible
  The maximum operational ceiling is 6000 meters, but to ensure strong signal strength and clear visuals (especially with thermal imaging), it’s safer to stay well below this limit during missions.

• Do Not Touch the Camera or Laser After Flight
  The infrared and laser modules can heat up during extended use. Let the unit cool down for a few minutes before handling or packing it.

• Avoid Flying Near Reflective Surfaces at Night
  The 3D infrared sensors and thermal camera can misread highly reflective surfaces, especially in low-light conditions. Always fly with adequate visibility and avoid metal rooftops or water bodies at night.

Why You Should Choose the DJI Matrice 4E
