DJI Matrice 400 Enterprise Drone

The 59-minute Matrice 400 flight-time figure is unusually useful because DJI does not measure it with an empty aircraft.

DJI’s official test used the aircraft flying forward at 10 m/s at sea level in no wind while carrying a Zenmuse H30T, for a total aircraft weight of approximately 10,670 g.

DJI measured flight until forced landing caused by battery depletion, which means professional operators should not plan routine missions around using every published minute.

Actual useful mission endurance must preserve regulatory and operational battery reserves and will change with:

• Payload mass
• Payload aerodynamic drag
• Wind and gust conditions
• Flight speed
• Altitude
• Temperature
• Battery age and state of health
• Repeated ascent/descent cycles
• Hover-heavy inspection missions
• Return-to-home reserve

59-minute flight vs 53-minute hover

DJI separately publishes 53 minutes of maximum hover time under comparable sea-level/no-wind H30T test conditions.

That difference is important for buyers performing bridge, tower, facade or public-safety overwatch missions where the aircraft may spend much more time hovering than moving efficiently forward.

Maximum speed

Matrice 400 reaches a published 25 m/s maximum horizontal speed at sea level with no wind.

This higher transit speed can materially improve corridor inspection, emergency-response positioning and large-site deployment, but mission speed should always be limited by payload requirements, airspace, sensing conditions and safe stopping distance.

Obstacle sensing is one of the largest technical upgrades from Matrice 350 RTK to Matrice 400.

DJI combines several sensing layers rather than depending exclusively on conventional stereo vision.

Power-line sensing

DJI publishes a rotating-LiDAR reference of approximately 35 m for a 21.6 mm steel-core aluminum stranded wire under its specified lighting and angle conditions.

For mmWave radar, DJI publishes approximately 36 m for 12 mm wire and 50 m for 21.6 mm wire under the stated conditions.

Those numbers are not guarantees that every cable will always be detected. Wire material, diameter, angle, lighting, weather and regional radar availability affect performance.

The BS100 Intelligent Battery Station in this listing is not simply a charging cable. It is the Matrice 400 field battery-management station.

The BS100 weighs approximately 11.8 kg and measures 605 × 410 × 250 mm. It accepts 100–240 V AC input and supports TB100, TB100C tethered batteries and WB37 controller batteries.

Published TB100 charging times

DJI measured those 0–100% charging figures at approximately 25°C. Real charging time changes with ambient temperature, battery temperature and electrical supply.

BS100 output power changes with mains voltage

• 100–110 V: approximately 1185 W TB100-port output
• 110–180 V: approximately 1474 W
• 180–240 V: approximately 2184 W
• USB-C: up to 65 W

That voltage dependence matters for international buyers. A charging workflow developed around 220–240 V operation should not assume identical turnaround on 110 V supply.

Matrice 400 is significantly more developer-friendly than a closed fixed-camera drone, but it should not be described as a ROS development robot.

DJI confirms that RC Plus 2 Enterprise Enhanced supports MSDK. The aircraft also exposes four E-Port V2 interfaces capable of providing up to 120 W per port to supported accessories and Payload SDK devices.

The DJI E-Port V2 Development Kit, X-Port and SkyPort V3 ecosystem allow organizations to integrate approved third-party hardware.

Manifold 3 onboard AI compute

DJI’s optional Manifold 3 provides 100 TOPS of onboard computing capability—60 TOPS from GPU processing plus 40 TOPS from DLA acceleration.

DJI says developers can use PSDK open interfaces and CUDA components to build drone AI applications, while commercial developers can pursue DJI ecosystem review for production deployment.

Software environment

• DJI Pilot 2
• DJI Assistant 2 Enterprise Series
• DJI FlightHub 2
• DJI Terra for supported mapping/LiDAR workflows
• DJI Modify for supported 3D-model workflows
• MSDK-based third-party applications
• Payload SDK / E-Port V2 ecosystem integrations

DJI FlightHub 2 currently lists Matrice 400 among its supported aircraft platforms.

Buyers whose project depends on a particular SDK function, third-party payload, cloud API or autonomous workflow should validate that exact requirement before purchase.

• 59 minutes is a controlled maximum:
  DJI measured it at sea level in no wind with an H30T payload until battery depletion. Production missions require reserve.
• 6 kg does not apply to every gimbal mount:
  the maximum figure requires the third-gimbal connector with the appropriate screw-lock fastening.
• One TB100 may not be enough for continuous operations:
  high-tempo teams should model battery rotation against charging time.
• TB100 is a 977 Wh battery:
  international transport requires proper lithium-battery freight planning.
• 40 km is not a legal flight-range entitlement:
  regulatory VLOS/BVLOS requirements remain separate from radio performance.
• mmWave radar is region dependent:
  some frequencies or radar functions may be restricted locally.
• IP55 is not permanent:
  DJI states that protection can decrease through wear.
• Payload choice determines real performance:
  mass, drag and power draw affect endurance and mission efficiency.
• Payloads are usually sold separately:
  H30T, P1, L2, L3, S1, V1 and Manifold 3 should not be assumed unless quoted.
• Controller inclusion should be explicit:
  the current AI Robot Supplier title guarantees BS100 and TB100 but does not by itself prove that RC Plus 2 is included.

The current AI Robot Supplier product title explicitly identifies three principal components:

• DJI Matrice 400 aircraft
• BS100 Intelligent Battery Station
• TB100 Intelligent Flight Battery

Those components should therefore appear on the final quotation and packing list for this exact product.

However, the current live product description does not clearly establish the remaining package contents. They should not be silently assumed.

Why this matters

A comparable $11,999 U.S. combo from another dealer explicitly lists the aircraft, BS100, TB100, RC Plus 2, WB37, carrying case and supporting hardware.

Buyers should therefore compare the $8,393 AI Robot Supplier listing against the same written bill of materials before concluding how large the price advantage is.

DJI offers DJI Care Enterprise Plus and extended warranty options for Matrice 400 in supported markets.

DJI describes Care Enterprise Plus as providing repair coverage within specified coverage limits and fleet-level options. Exact eligibility and terms vary by region and purchased service plan.

The Matrice 400 is also currently supported under DJI’s Enterprise Maintenance Program in multiple regions, including North America, the EU, UK, Australia and Japan, subject to regional model eligibility.

For this AI Robot Supplier product, customers should confirm in writing:

• Manufacturer warranty status
• Whether DJI Care Enterprise is included or optional
• Aircraft activation state
• TB100 battery warranty/condition
• BS100 warranty
• Regional service eligibility
• Who handles DOA or warranty claims

DJI also publishes a dedicated Matrice 400 Maintenance Manual, which should form part of a professional fleet’s inspection and service program.

DJI Enterprise’s official Matrice 400 introduction demonstrates the aircraft’s endurance, multi-payload architecture, power-line obstacle sensing, intelligent features and enterprise mission positioning.
