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.

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.

Equipment, skills and practical advice

Build your inspection capability with Iprosurv

What will happen to the information after landing? Start there, then select the aircraft, capture process and skills that support the decision.

Based in Rotherham and working across the UK and Europe, Iprosurv brings together equipment supply, drone operations and practical training. Tell us about your assets, existing experience and who will interpret the findings.

We can discuss pilot development and application familiarisation, with practical training at our Dearne Valley College location and its dedicated practice area where appropriate. Training is arranged separately unless included in your agreed package.

Configure the complete setup

Choose your aircraft package first

Confirm the supplied items

Ask us to confirm the aircraft, compatible controller, battery quantities, charging equipment and case. Any DJI Care, warranty service, software or training should be identified in your quotation.

For a Dock project, request a separate configuration covering the Dock, installation requirements and supporting services.

Consider alongside the aircraft

  • Additional Matrice 4D Series batteries and compatible charging provision.
  • Suitable thermal analysis software, storage and reporting tools.
  • An appropriate correction source if using RTK.
  • Relevant pilot development and application training.

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.
