The DJI Matrice 300 RTK (M300 RTK) is an enterprise‑class, weather‑resistant UAV platform designed for industrial inspection, public safety, and surveying/mapping. It combines up to 55 minutes of endurance, 6‑directional sensing and positioning, IP45 ingress protection, centimeter‑level RTK positioning, and OcuSync Enterprise transmission (triple‑channel 1080p up to 15 km, AES‑256 encrypted) in a robust airframe that supports multiple simultaneous payloads and a maximum payload capability of up to 2.7 kg. Compatible mission sensors include the Zenmuse H20/H20T series as well as DJI’s surveying‑focused P1 photogrammetry camera and L1 LiDAR payload, enabling tailored configurations for thermal inspection, mapping, and LiDAR workflows.

Long endurance and range: up to 55‑minute max flight time and up to 15 km transmission for large‑area coverage. ( dji.com)
Flexible mission configurations: supports single/dual/downward and single upward or triple gimbal layouts; up to three payloads and broad ecosystem support (H20/H20T, P1, L1). ( dji.com)
High‑precision data capture: integrated RTK enables centimeter‑level positioning for survey/mapping and repeatable automated inspections. ( dji.com)
Operational efficiency: hot‑swappable TB60 batteries, Advanced Dual Operator Mode, Smart Inspection (Live Mission Recording, AI Spot‑Check) and Waypoints 2.0 streamline field workflows. ( dji.com)
Drawbacks
High acquisition cost versus consumer/prosumer platforms; mission payloads purchased separately. ( oldsite.dronenerds.com)
Larger/heavier airframe and battery ecosystem increase transport and logistics complexity compared with compact drones. ( dji.com)
IP45 offers strong weather resistance but is not fully waterproof; operations in heavy precipitation remain limited. ( dji.com)
Requires trained operators and enterprise workflows to fully leverage advanced features and safety systems. ( dji.com)
