IP55 rated so you can keep flying in the rain. Excellent thermal sensor and range finder, plus huge 200x RGB zoom, and good wind tolerance make this aircraft perfect for emergency services / police / fire and rescue operations. Also ask about out tethering systems for constant power (stays up for hours), and water activated inflatable rescue rings.
A $500 govt. rebate is available for this drone for NSW farmers. More info

*The availability of the above maintenance services varies for different regions.
Cultivating the habit of regularly maintaining drones can improve the drone performance, flight stability and ensure operational safety, which can avoid operation interruption and reduce unnecessary expenses. At the same time, we will provide users with official maintenance reports. Users can grasp the status of the any time to help them better manage their fleet.
Recommended Maintenance Cycle
We recommend that the first maintenance should be done when the aircraft is used for 6 months, or the flight duration reaches 150 hours. And every 6 months or 150 hours for the next maintenance.
*The recommend maintenance cycle may vary for different regions. Please refer to the local standard as the official recommendation.
*Triggers of the need for a maintenance check is either the total usage time or the total flight time, whichever comes first.
*A maintenance cycle is related to product model, usage scenarios, operating environment, and some other factors. Users can contact for a customized maintenance plan.

[2] The maximum flight time and the hover time were tested in a lab environment and is for reference only. [3] This protection rating is not permanent and may reduce over time after long-term use. [4] Infrared temperature measurement accuracy was tested in a lab environment and is for reference only. [5] The maximum operating time was tested in a lab environment and is for reference only.

The Matrice 30 series includes two versions: M30 (its gimbal and camera have three sensors: wide-angle camera, zoom camera, laser range finder) and M30T (its gimbal and camera have four sensors: wide-angle camera, zoom camera, laser range finder, thermal imaging camera).
The DJI Dock is compatible with the M30 (Dock version) and the M30T (Dock version), but not regular M30 series drones. This is because the M30 (Dock version) has slight differences in its body to be compatible with the DJI Dock. When you purchase the DJI Dock, it includes the M30 (Dock version) or the M30T (Dock version).
Supported. M30 series aircraft comes with frame arm lock function. If the arm is not unfolded properly, the app will give a warning to prohibit takeoff.
With a BS30 Intelligent Battery Station, it takes about 50 minutes to fully charge the two TB30 Intelligent Flight Batteries, about 40 minutes to charge up to 90%, and only about 30 minutes to charge up from 20% to 90%.
TB30 Intelligent Flight Batteries can work in operating environments with temperatures ranging from -20°C (-4°F) to 50°C (122°F). Battery life will be shortened when used in low temperature environments. Please plan your flight times accordingly. For optimal battery performance, it’s recommended to keep the battery temperature above 18°C (64°F), or heat the battery to 18°C (64°F) with its self-heating function (a takeoff limit will be triggered if the battery temperature is below 10°C (50°F)).
Long-term storage of a lithium battery at full charge will significantly shorten its battery life. In order to ensure safe storage and extend the battery life, a fully charged battery will activate its auto-discharging function to discharge itself to a level of about 60%. During the auto-discharging process, it will release some heat, which is normal.
Flip the gimbal up by 90° to lock its tilt. Lock the tilt to better protect the camera lens and prevent scratches during transportation or storage of the aircraft. The gimbal can be quickly and easily unlocked when arriving at the operation site, greatly reducing preparation time for the operation.
Supports Payload SDK and Mobile SDK. The Payload SDK interface on top of M30 series aircraft integrates the functions of Onboard SDK. Please contact [email protected] for further technical support.
Not supported. TheM30 series is not designed for aerial surveying. Users can plan a flight path and capture photos in the aerial FPV mode of DJI Pilot 2.0 App, but the model's accuracy is not guaranteed.
1. Connect the aircraft to a computer and update the firmware of the aircraft, remote controller (RC), and D-RTK 2 Mobile Station by using DJI Assistant 2 For Enterprise. Use DJI Pilot 2.0 App to update the firmware of the aircraft, remote controller (RC), and BS30 Intelligent Battery Station. Download the firmware on DJI website(hyperlink), and insert the SD card with the firmware package into the aircraft for offline update. See the User Manual for more information.
The M30 series includes two versions: the Chinese version and the International version. Please check with the local aftersales service center and the dealers about the availablity of the product.

What is the different between our
DJI warranty drones
, and the
DFH Warranty drones?
Virtually nothing. All the DJI drones we sell come:
1. In a factory sealed box from the DJI factory in China, and with an Australian power plug/adapter.
2. With English language on the box, in the manuals and the on-screen display menus.
3. With all duties and taxes already paid for (including GST).
4. With a standard DJI factory warranty. With some of our drones, this warranty was designed for people living in another country (not in Australia). This is why we apply our own 12 month DFH warranty for these drones – so your drone is warranted by DFH for use in Australia. Subject to the Warranty Terms and Conditions, under the DFH warranty, DFH agree to repair or replace the drone which it supplied to you at its own cost or provide you with a refund if the drone is found by DFH to be defective within 12 months of purchase.
Click here to see the Warranty Terms and Conditions
The drone is guaranteed against any manufacturing defects for a standard 1 year via the Manufacturer's warranty (DJI).

RPA operator accreditation A starting point for new people
RePL (Remote Pilot Licence)
A licence for individual pilots
(ReOC) RPA Operator's Certificate
The highest standard for drone businesses
You can fly commercially without a drone pilot licence, but you must register your drone and get an RPA operator accreditation from CASA. It’s a convenient option for new people wanting to just get their drone in the air legally and start making some money.
Remember flying a drone to make money is actually illegal in Australia unless you at least an RPA operator accreditation from CASA (or an RePL or ReOC).
Here are 5 good reasons to make sure you are approved by CASA before you fly.
How to get an RPA operator accreditation from CASA:
Here are the 2 steps you need to do to be allowed (by CASA) to fly a drone for commercial use without needing a licence:
Step 1: register your drone here, otherwise you would face a fine up to $11,100.
Step 2: get an RPA operator accreditation before you fly here.
If your drone is over 2kg, and you typically prefer to fly for someone else's drone business (not start your own business), it is best to obtain a Remote Pilot Licence.
By far the most popular licence option. RePL is typically a 5 day course, covering theory and practical, or do the theory part online + 2 days practical. This drone pilot licence does not expire and there is no renewal required! Minimum age is 17.
Best if your drones are over 2kg and you wish to set up your own drone business and work directly with customers. Typically for aspiring drone businesses owners who plan to hire individual pilots and operate a full time business.
Getting a ReOC is a more involved process that requires you to first have an RePL, and to then submit your company procedure and policies to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) for review and approval. The reward for getting this certification is having more options and less restrictions regarding fly zones, and more industry recognition from potential customers who may decide they only want to hire pilots with the highest available certification level (ReOC holders).
