What About Real-World Usage?

Of course, on-paper specifications must be complemented with real-world usage to mean anything. Let’s see what all these numbers mean when actually flying. 

Takeoff Weight

Having a higher takeoff weight generally means the aircraft has more wind-resistance and payload capacity, though there are some trade-offs to consider as well. For instance, the M300 RTK has the highest takeoff weight of all the drones listed above, however, it is also the bulkiest aircraft to have to transport. For industries such as firefighting where time and space are of the essence, a smaller, equally capable drone with thermal capabilities such as the Matrice 30T is a worthy contender when deciding which drone to purchase.

Built-in Payload

Smaller drones like the Mavic 3 Enterprise series and Matrice 30 series have built-in multi-functional payloads which is perfect for single-type applications which rarely change. For industries that require different payload capabilities at different times, an M300 RTK with a removable payload may be the right choice. As an example, in industries such as construction surveying, you may want a payload best suited for photogrammetry like the Zenmuse P1 and a payload best suited for LiDAR mapping such as the Zenmuse L1 at different times. In some cases, you may want them simultaneously, in which case a dual-downward gimbal mount can be affixed to the drone, allowing for 2 different payloads to be used at once. 

Available Payloads

Since the M300 RTK is the only aircraft that allows for removable payloads, it is the only aircraft compatible with the payloads listed below. Listed below are some of the most common payloads used with M300 RTK:

 

Zenmuse H20 and H20T 

Integrated wide, zoom, and laser rangefinder in one payload. H20T adds a thermal sensor to the array. With Zenmuse H20 series, you can see the big picture with the wide lens, get up close with the zoom lens, and see the unseen with the thermal sensor (H20T/H20N only). 

 

Zenmuse H20N 

Integrated wide, zoom, and laser rangefinder in one payload, like the H20 and H20T, H20N features dual thermal sensors and starlight sensors in the wide and zoom cameras, allowing for unmatched night and low light performance.

These aren’t the only payloads compatible with M300 RTK. Additionally, Payload SDK allows for supported third-party payloads, allowing for even more flexibility in whichever application you are taking on.

 

Ingress Protection Rating

Ingress Protection or IP ratings are a guide to the solid and liquid protections of your device. The first number represents the solid and the second represents the liquid. The only DJI Enterprise aircraft that have a rating are the Matrice 30 Series and the M300 RTK. The Mavic 3 Enterprise Series is not rated from DJI, which means it is more susceptible to water/dust damage if exposed to either, even for a short time. The Matrice 30 and M300 RTK have equal liquid resistance, however, the Matrice 30 has improved solid resistance with dust resistance. The M300 RTK has resistance to solids greater that 1mm in diameter, which encompasses many tiny objects, but is still not as protected as the Matrice 30 Series. Having an IP rating adds extra assurance that your aircraft is protected so you can focus on the mission at hand.

*IP ratings differ between M300 RTK payloads. Please be sure you are aware of the specific IP rating of the payload you are using prior to your flight.
