DJI Matrice 4 Series
DJI's commercial workhorse — built-in AI, multi-sensor payloads and round-the-clock dock-ready operation. From the survey-focused M4E to the thermal M4T and dock-capable M4D / M4TD.
DJI Matrice 4E
AI-powered survey aircraft with a wide-angle mechanical-shutter camera, two zoom cameras and a laser rangefinder. Engineered for precision mapping and engineering.
DJI Matrice 4T
Six-sensor payload with wide, two zoom and thermal cameras, plus laser rangefinder and NIR auxiliary light. Built-in AI for thermal inspection and public-safety work.
DJI Matrice 4TD — Standalone Combo
The dock-capable M4TD as a standalone combo — deployable separately from DJI Dock 3 for an IP-rated thermal solution.
DJI Matrice 4D — Standalone Combo
The mapping-focused M4D as a standalone combo — deployable separately from DJI Dock 3 and IP-rated for autonomous outdoor missions.
Buying guide · Which M4
Which Matrice 4 Series variant?
DJI’s commercial mid-range in four flavours. The M4E is the mapping and inspection all-rounder; the M4T adds a thermal sensor for night and public-safety work; the M4D and M4TD are the dock-deployable mapping and thermal variants that pair with DJI Dock 3 for autonomous, round-the-clock operation.
Wide-angle mapping camera, dual zoom and a laser rangefinder — survey, mapping and general inspection.
Adds a 640×512 thermal sensor and NIR light — public safety, night inspection and search.
The dock-deployable thermal variant for DJI Dock 3 — autonomous, unattended thermal operations.

The system around the aircraft
Payloads, power, RTK and dock integration around the M4 platform.
Payloads & modules
Add the AL1 spotlight, AS1 speaker, obstacle-sensing module, Manifold 3 compute or gas-detection systems for mission-specific work.
Payloads →Power & charging
M4 and M4D series batteries and charging hubs deliver the flight time and quick turnarounds field teams need.
Batteries & charging →RTK positioning
The D-RTK 3 station gives centimetre-accurate positioning for repeatable mapping and survey.
D-RTK 3 →Dock 3 deployment
The M4D and M4TD pair with DJI Dock 3 for unattended, scheduled autonomous missions.
DJI Dock 3 →DJI Matrice 4 Series — common questions
M4E, M4T, M4D or M4TD — which do I need?
Choose the M4E for mapping and inspection, the M4T when you need a thermal sensor for night or public-safety work, and the M4D / M4TD (mapping / thermal) when you want dock-deployable autonomous operation with DJI Dock 3.
Which variants work with DJI Dock 3?
The dock-deployable M4D (mapping) and M4TD (thermal) are the variants designed to live in and launch from DJI Dock 3 for unattended, scheduled missions.
How does the M4 Series compare to the M400?
The M4 Series is the commercial mid-range — integrated cameras, lighter and more affordable. The M400 is the flagship for heavier, multi-payload missions with a 6 kg capacity and 59-minute flight. We’ll match the tier to your work.
