Matrice 4TD
DJI Matrice 4TD · Thermal inspection and operational awareness
See the difference.
Build a clearer picture.
An unusual heat pattern. A visible change in an asset. A scene your team needs to understand. Bring complementary views together before deciding what to investigate next.
The DJI Matrice 4TD combines thermal imaging, three visual cameras and laser rangefinding with a non-folding, IP55-rated airframe. Use it with a compatible controller for field operations, or consider a separate DJI Dock 3 deployment for planned, repeat site work.
640 × 512Native thermal sensor resolution, with spot and area measurement.
3 × 48 MPWide, medium telephoto and telephoto visual cameras.
IP55*Aircraft protection rating within DJI's operating and maintenance limits.
Up to 54 min*Maximum test flight time, before operational return and landing reserves.
Thermal evidence with visual context
Look for the pattern. Understand the surroundings.
A thermal image can reveal apparent temperature differences across visible surfaces. A normal photograph helps the reviewer understand the asset, its condition and where that pattern occurs.
The Matrice 4TD's thermal sensor has a native resolution of 640 × 512. UHR Infrared Image mode produces enhanced 1280 × 1024 output. That is enhanced imagery, not a higher native detector resolution.
Spot and area measurement tools support review, but an apparent anomaly does not establish its cause. Material properties, reflections, viewing angle and environmental conditions all affect interpretation.
A fixed-arm aircraft with deployment choices
Take it to the site. Or plan a Dock deployment.
The Matrice 4TD can link with DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise for standalone flight. Teams can manage the aircraft and capture directly when visiting different locations.
For regular work at a defined site, DJI Dock 3 provides a separate deployment route. Consider the site, communications, support and operating requirements before selecting the full system.
The upturned arms do not fold for transport. Allow for the aircraft's full dimensions when planning your case, vehicle space and setup area. A Dock is not required for standalone operation and is not assumed to be included.
Where could it support your team?
Choose the capability around the question
Electrical and utility assets
Collect thermal patterns alongside visual records of accessible equipment. Give an appropriately qualified specialist evidence to review and help prioritise closer examination.
Buildings and facilities
Investigate apparent temperature differences across visible surfaces. Combine the imagery with site knowledge to support a structured assessment and identify further checks.
Solar installations
Record thermal variation and visible panel condition. Plan capture around suitable operating and environmental conditions, then assess findings within your inspection methodology.
Infrastructure inspection
Connect a wider asset view with closer photographs of visible features. Plan viewing angles and coverage around the structure and the information its specialist needs.
Search and response
Add thermal and visual observations to a team's understanding of the scene. Useful detection depends on contrast, coverage and obstructions; it cannot be guaranteed.
Repeat site monitoring
Build a dated record of observations over time. Record settings and conditions so reviewers can assess whether a change comes from the asset or the capture.
More than a thermal view
Move between the overview and the detail
The wide, medium telephoto and telephoto cameras help you document an asset at different scales. Keep enough context in the record for someone else to understand the location of each closer observation.
An integrated laser rangefinder adds target-distance information. Near-infrared illumination and night imaging functions support lower-light observation; near-infrared lighting is separate from thermal imaging.
Integrated RTK can refine aircraft positioning when suitable corrections are available. It does not, by itself, guarantee the accuracy of a mapped finding or finished measurement.
Prepare for the working day
Plan the operation around useful evidence
Protection with defined limits
IP55 adds environmental protection to the aircraft. It does not mean waterproof or unrestricted poor-weather operation. Equipment condition, installation and DJI's operating limits remain relevant.
Build in battery rotation
Use Matrice 4D Series batteries and compatible charging equipment. Allow for reserves, accessories and site conditions when planning each visit, rather than relying on the maximum test endurance.
Keep the pilot informed
Vision and downward infrared sensing support awareness. Assess the site and obstacles yourself, particularly when working around structures, changing light or complex backgrounds.
From observation to a useful handover
Capture. Locate. Review. Share.
01 · Capture
Record both views
Collect thermal observations, supporting photographs and notes about the asset and conditions.
02 · Locate
Keep the context
Identify the asset and observation location clearly so a reviewer can understand the finding.
03 · Review
Assess the evidence
Use appropriate thermal analysis tools and specialist judgement to examine apparent anomalies.
04 · Share
Support the next step
Provide images, locations and limitations in a format that helps the team plan further action.
Choose software for the handover you need
DJI Pilot 2 supports compatible controller-based missions. For thermal analysis, retain supported radiometric files so temperature information remains available to suitable analysis tools, rather than relying only on screenshots.
FlightHub 2 supports compatible cloud and Dock workflows. Confirm its features, subscriptions and data arrangements for your organisation. Processing tools, paid services and training are included only where stated in your selected package.

Questions before you choose
Do I need DJI Dock 3 to fly the Matrice 4TD?
No. It can link with DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise for standalone flight. Confirm the controller, batteries and charging equipment in your selected package.
Is the thermal camera 640 × 512 or 1280 × 1024?
The native detector is 640 × 512. UHR mode produces enhanced 1280 × 1024 output. The enhanced figure should not be described as native sensor resolution.
Can it diagnose the cause of a thermal anomaly?
Thermal imagery can guide an investigation, but it does not establish a cause by itself. Combine the imagery with asset knowledge, capture conditions and review by an appropriately qualified person.
Does IP55 mean unrestricted wet-weather operation?
No. Equipment condition and DJI's operating limits still apply. Assess the weather, visibility and task before flying, and follow the installation and maintenance guidance.
Are software, accessories and training included?
Only where the selected package expressly includes them. Your quotation and order confirmation should identify the supplied items, service entitlements and any training.
