- Unique lifting power. 1-min video lifting an 11 kg payload*
- Custom payload carry and release device included (release button is on RC).
- Unique level of redundancy (6 arms/rotor pairs) and A3 Pro triple redundancy
- Long legs and large space underneath / ground clearance for carrying large volume payloads
The Matrice 600 Pro has always been the trusted workhorse of the Aussie skies. Originally designed for carrying very large and expensive cinematography cameras it is still widely respected and used by industry experts for its lifting power, dependability and redundancy. The M600P has 6 rotors so if you get a motor failure you can still come down safely. Those extra 2 rotors on this hexacopter (compared to a quadcopter like the M300/M350) might just help you sleep at night, especially if you have an expensive payload/sensor onboard.
Very good for
- Research teams/universities / start-ups wanting to test an idea / new payload
- Lidar missions, hyperspectral missions
- Any large, heavy, expensive sensors/payloads
- Collecting water samples from streams/ dams etc
- Carrying food or medical supplies e.g. across flood waters
- Connect to a tether system and attach a lighting system for continuous lighting or surveillance
Notable features
A3 Pro Flight Controller. This gives the industrial hexacopter triple redundancy.
Compatible with D-RTK GNSS to help reduce the impact of magnetic interference and give the pilot centimetre-level accuracy.
Comes in a fully built state, meaning the heavy-lift UAV can be in the air in a matter of minutes.
9.5 kg (with six TB47S batteries onboard). 15.5 kg MTOW max take-off weight (6kg recommended max payload weight)
32 min flight time with six TB47S batteries: No payload, or 16 mins with a 6 kg payload (assumes fresh batteries and minimal wind).
Originally designed to carry these gimbals and payloads but can carry many others: Ronin-MX; ZENMUSE Z30, Zenmuse X5/X5R, Zenmuse X3, Zenmuse XT; Zenmuse Z15 Series HD Gimbal: Z15-A7, Z15-BMPCC, Z15-5D III, Z15-GH4
*This example exceeds the official 6kg MTOW for the M600P which is also the DFH payload limit for hires for this aircraft.
