The DJI Matrice 400 Drone (often called the DJI M400) is DJI’s flagship enterprise-grade quadcopter built for demanding professional missions, combining long endurance with heavy payload support and advanced safety systems. Designed to fly up to around 59 minutes even with sensors attached, it can carry up to ~6 kg of equipment across multiple mount points, making it ideal for tasks like industrial inspection, mapping, search and rescue, and infrastructure monitoring. The M400 features a robust IP55-rated airframe for operation in challenging environments, power-line-level obstacle sensing using LiDAR, mmWave radar and vision sensors, and the O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission system for reliable long-range control and live feeds. Its support for intelligent flight modes, AR overlays, and a wide range of DJI and third-party payloads gives operators flexibility and precision for complex aerial workflows.
Considering Ownership After Rental
If you've been enjoying your rental drone, here's an opportunity to make it a permanent part of your gear. Once your rental period is complete, you can choose to purchase the rental drone and save the waiting time for its arrival.
