The Matrice 350 RTK is a technological marvel that has been revolutionizing industries like agriculture, construction, and surveying with its cutting-edge features. Built by DJI, a renowned leader in drone technology, the Matrice 350 RTK takes aerial data collection and analysis to new heights. In this blog post, we will explore eight exceptional features that make the Matrice 350 RTK stand out in the world of drones.

1. Robust Build and All-Weather Endurance

The DJI M350 RTK drone stands out for its exceptional durability and capacity to withstand adverse weather conditions, solidifying its reputation as a dependable tool for a wide range of challenging scenarios. the M350 RTK is meticulously engineered to endure extreme temperatures, with an operational range spanning from -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F). With the M350 RTK at your disposal, you can concentrate on your mission with confidence, knowing that it can handle demanding weather conditions with its upgraded Ingress Protection rating of IP55 – comprehensive protection from rain and sand even when the drone is folded. 

2. A Premier Remote Controller: DJI RC Plus

Initially introduced alongside the M30, users have expressed overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding the DJI RC Plus. To elevate the overall flight experience, DJI RC Plus comes with an enlarged form factor, improves comfort and offers an expanded screen. The inclusion of tactile buttons simplifies drone operation, including the ability to switch camera views, all without the need to lift your fingers from the control sticks. 

For M300 owners who are not yet prepared to transition to the M350 RTK, the DJI RC Plus remains fully compatible and can be separately acquired.

3. Upgraded Transmission System

The M350 RTK boasts an enhanced OcuSync 3 Enterprise Transmission system that incorporates four integrated antennas thoughtfully positioned for optimal performance: one on each front arm, one beneath the FPV camera, and one on the backside. These antennas work cohesively to ensure consistently stable connections, especially with the improved non-conductive material propellers, it guarantees seamless communication with the DJI RC Plus. With its improved antenna configurations, Matrice 350 RTK maintains steadfast connections at impressive distances of up to 20 kilometers, it can still facilitate triple-channel 1080p video transmission for effortless video streaming and smooth transitions between input sources.

 4. Enhanced Safety with Arm Locking

The M350 RTK places a strong emphasis on safety and dependability. While retaining the six-directional sensing and positioning capabilities and integrating built-in redundancies from its predecessor, M350 RTK introduces enhancements for a more user-friendly experience and its redesigned arm locking mechanism. The magnetic sensor determines the secure status of the lock and takes preventive measures if an arm is not properly attached. This innovative safety feature secures drone operation and mitigate operational risks.

5. Enhanced Low-Light FPV Camera

In low-light scenarios, the M350 RTK features an enhanced FPV camera that delivers exceptional performance, making it a valuable asset for nighttime tasks. Interestingly, this FPV camera shares its core component and sensor with the M30 model. Whether it’s a search and rescue mission or nocturnal surveillance, the heightened low-light capabilities of the FPV camera empower users to gain a clear view of the surroundings and effectively recognize potential obstacles, thus securing the safety and success of their operations.

6. Seamless Compatibility with Previous DJI Enterprise Payloads

Versatility is a strong suit of the Matrice 350 RTK. It offers compatibility with the entire range of M300 payloads, including the H20N for night operations, H20T for inspections and thermal work, L1 for LiDAR, and P1 for aerial surveying. The DJI Payload SDK supports a wide range of payload options, including thermal cameras, multispectral sensors, and zoom cameras, allowing you to tailor the drone to your specific needs and applications, as well as third-party integrations. 

7. Enhanced Mobility and Portability

DJI has adeptly addressed the logistical challenge of transporting a large drone by redesigning the protective casing of the M350 RTK. A direct comparison with the M300 RTK’s case highlights a significant reduction in size, enhancing its storage convenience, and for superior organization and heightened protective capabilities, the foam inserts undergone thorough revamping. With the inclusion of 360-degree wheels, the case enables users to easily and effortlessly roll and transport the drone wherever they go. 

For M300 RTK owners seeking to enjoy the added convenience of enhanced mobility and portability, the new and improved protective case is available for purchase separately. 

8. Innovative Battery Management

Efficiency is key, and the Matrice 350 RTK excels in this area. DJI recognizes that effective battery management is a vital component of any drone operation thus implementing an optimized battery system for Matrice 350 RTK. It comes with a redesigned 360-degree wheeled and mobile battery charging case that has been optimized to accommodate four WB37 RC batteries and eight TB65 drone batteries. 

The fully hot-swappable TB65 batteries offer 55 minutes of flight time on a full charge, allows continuous operation by easily replacing depleted batteries with fresh ones, reducing downtime and maximizing productivity. Through extensive battery optimization efforts, the operating cost per flight can be significantly reduced since each TB65 battery can endure roughly 400 charge cycles before requiring replacement. 

The integration of heat sinks on each battery, in conjunction with fan vents within the charging case, accelerates and enhances the efficiency of the charging process by effectively cooling the batteries. The charging case is equipped with a 65W USB-C charging port, providing a convenient option for charging various devices, including smartphones and laptops. The convenient placement of the charge status indicator at the end of the battery ensures that users can check the charge status even when the battery is stored within the case, regardless of the three charging modes they offer. 

• Storage Mode charges batteries to 50% capacity, ideal for prolonging battery life when not planning immediate flights. 

• Ready-to-Fly Mode charges each pair of batteries to 90% capacity, allowing for quick readiness during active flight sessions. 

• Standard Mode charges batteries to 100% capacity, suitable for urgent situations or critical missions.
