DJI Matrice 5T

DJI Matrice 5T · Inspection and emergency response

See the detail.
Know where to act.

A heat anomaly on a solar array. A person at the edge of a search area. A defect high on a structure. Give your team a clearer view of the detail that needs attention.

The DJI Matrice 5T combines native 1K thermal imaging with three 50 MP visual cameras, enhanced night vision and laser rangefinding. From asset inspection to incident response, it helps you move from observing a scene to deciding what happens next.

1280 × 1024 Native thermal resolution for detailed heat patterns
3 × 50 MP Wide, medium telephoto and telephoto cameras
Up to 59 min* Maximum flight time under DJI test conditions
IP55* Aircraft dust and water resistance for field work

Thermal inspection

Which finding deserves a closer look?

Thermal imaging can reveal temperature differences that a visual camera alone cannot show. The Matrice 5T gives you four times the native thermal pixel count of a 640 × 512 sensor, helping preserve detail when you review a complex scene.

On a solar array, that could mean identifying modules for further investigation. On an industrial asset, it could mean locating an unusual heat pattern and recording the visual context alongside it.

Temperature and context together

Spot and area measurements, with fusion viewing to relate thermal findings to the visible scene.

Visual detail and low light

Keep the wider picture.
Examine the detail.

Use the wide camera to understand the site, then switch to the medium telephoto or telephoto camera to investigate a feature. Three camera perspectives help you build a record that shows both the finding and its location.

Enhanced colour night vision and near-infrared illumination extend your viewing options after dark. The telephoto camera also supports monochrome night vision from 11× zoom.

Up to 176× hybrid zoom*

Bring distant details into view. The usable detail depends on distance, lighting and atmospheric conditions.

Laser ranging up to 3 km*

Measure the distance to an observation and support PinPoint workflows so the team can locate it.

Where could you put it to work?

Start with the job your team needs to do.

Choose the aircraft around your application and the information you need to deliver. These are some of the ways a Matrice 5T could support your operation.

Search and rescue

Search with complementary thermal and visible views, mark an observation and share its location with ground teams. Optional lighting and audio accessories can help teams guide a response.

Solar and electrical inspection

Locate thermal anomalies across solar installations or electrical assets, then capture visual detail to support assessment and targeted follow-up.

Buildings and infrastructure

Record roof condition, inspect elevated features and add thermal observations where they suit the investigation. Give the reviewer both close detail and site context.

Fire and incident support

Build an aerial view of the incident, identify heat signatures and share observations with decision-makers as the situation develops.

Maritime and coastal operations

Support shoreline searches, port inspections and vessel-based work. Dedicated boat-launch functions offer another deployment option, subject to DJI procedures.

Rapid site mapping

Use supported capture and modelling workflows to communicate the layout of a site. Match positioning, processing and accuracy checks to the intended use.

Aircraft and sensing

More awareness around the aircraft.

Structures, vegetation and overhead lines make field operations demanding. The Matrice 5T combines a rotating LiDAR with vision sensing, forward/upward/downward mmWave radar and a downward infrared sensor.

These complementary systems support obstacle awareness as you concentrate on the task. DJI quotes LiDAR power-line sensing at up to 32 m under specified test conditions.*

IP55 aircraft protection*

Useful resistance to dust and water, within the manufacturer's environmental limits.

Up to 59 minutes of flight*

Plan productive time on site around payload, conditions and return and landing reserves.

O4 Enterprise Enhanced transmission

Supported relay and cellular options help you plan connectivity around terrain and the deployment.

From flight to useful information

What happens after you spot something?

A clear image becomes more useful when the right person can locate it, understand it and act on it. Build that process into your deployment from the start.

01

Observe

Use thermal and visual cameras to examine the scene.

02

Locate

Use supported ranging and PinPoint tools to record where it is.

03

Share

Bring observations into a connected team workflow where required.

04

Act

Use the evidence to guide follow-up, reporting or a response.

Software and automation

Build a workflow your team can repeat.

DJI Pilot 2 brings flight tools and supported mission functions onto the controller. Onboard AI assistance can help operators review supported targets, while plugin support allows specialist workflows to sit within familiar flight tools.

Explore FlightHub 2 for connected operations, or DJI Terra where its processing tools match your deliverables. The launch material also introduces controller-based modelling for a faster view of site context.

Software capabilities depend on firmware, region and configuration. Licences, subscriptions, connectivity and any custom development are separate unless your selected package includes them.

*Maximum flight and hover times are DJI tests without payloads, in windless-equivalent conditions at sea level, to 0% battery. The flight-time test uses approximately 9 m/s forward flight. Operational endurance is lower when reserves and real conditions are considered. IP55 does not mean waterproof. Sensing depends on target, light, weather and enabled functions. Radar and radio availability vary by region. The quoted 32 m wire figure uses a specified 21.6 mm conductor. Ranging depends on target reflectivity and visibility. Thermal performance and positioning figures are conditional and do not guarantee inspection conclusions or final survey accuracy.

Before you choose

Your questions, answered.

Is the Matrice 5T right for my inspection work?

It is worth considering when you need thermal information alongside detailed visual imagery. Tell us what you inspect, the working distances and what the client needs to receive. We can help assess the aircraft and the training or software around it.

Can I use it for mapping as well as thermal inspection?

DJI describes supported mapping and modelling workflows. Whether it suits your project depends on the capture specification and deliverable. RTK positioning accuracy alone does not establish the accuracy of a finished map. Talk to us about your required tolerances and checks.

Can I reuse my Matrice 4 accessories?

DJI states that Matrice 5T accessories are not compatible with the Matrice 4 Series. Ask us to check your existing equipment before planning an upgrade.

Are the spotlight, speaker and software included?

Only when the selected offer explicitly includes them. We will confirm accessory quantities, licences, cover and training in your package details.

Can I discuss training or a demonstration?

Yes. Tell us about your team and intended use. We can discuss familiarisation and application training, and confirm demonstration availability.

Talk to Iprosurv

What would you like the Matrice 5T to do for you?
