Summary / Reader Response of the DJI Matrice 300 RTK draft no.2
Based on "The DJI Matrice 300 RTK"
article by Avetics webpage (n.d), it is the latest commercial drone platform
that takes inspiration from modern aviation systems. Offering 55 minutes of
flight time, omnidirectional sensing and positioning and more, it’s a new
standard for the commercial drone industry (Avetics, n.d). Expect the agility
and reflexes of a spider with a max speed of 23m/s and a service ceiling of a
whopping 7000m.
Accessories such as the TB60 Intelligent Flight Battery, you will
no longer run out of power during critical missions. Although bulky but well
prepared, the battery station can manage up to 8 flight batteries and 4 remote
controller batteries.
The Matrice 300 RTK outweighs other drones out there in terms of
performance, reliability and user experience. It is well suited for missions
specifically for the army. Drones such as the DJI Mavic 3 and Air 2S can
compete with the M300 RTK. The Skydio 2+ is one you should avoid.
The all new OcuSync Enterprise enables transmission up to 15 km
away and supports triple-channel 1080p video. Real-time auto-switching between
2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz enables more reliable flight near high-interference
environments (DJI Matrice 300 RTK, 2022).
The refined airframe and propulsion system provides a maximum
descend speed of 7m/s, 7000m service ceiling, 15m/s wind resistance and a
maximum speed of 23m/s (DJI Matrice 300 RTK, 2022).
The M300 RTK can record aircraft movement, gimbal orientation,
photo shooting, and zoom level to create sample mission files for future
automated inspections. With its AI spot check, it always captures consistent
results. It can create up to 65,535 waypoints plan flightpaths to maximize
flexibility and efficiency for your missions along with flight information and
navigation display. The M300 RTK can also identify and follow moving objects
like people, vehicles and boats. Its 5.5-inch 1080p display maintains clear
visibility even in broad daylight (DJI Matrice 300 RTK, 2022). Perfect for
scout missions.
Camera is powered by the Zenmuse H20N that comes with Night Vision,
a 20x Hybrid Zoom and 128x Max Zoom. At low light missions, the H20N is a go to
as its wide and zoom cameras make it an extremely powerful tool. During a
half-moon night of 0.12 lux, it is possible to observe humans and vehicles 500m
away (H20N VS H20T, Heliguy, May 2022). Perfect for stealth missions.
On the other hand, the DJI Mavic 3 wins in terms of camera quality
and flight distance of 30km. With a flight time of 46 minutes, it not only
records aerial videos at high resolutions and framerates, but it also captures
up to 1 billion colours with a 10-bit D-Log colour profile. A maximum speed of
15m/s and service ceiling of 6000m is hard to miss out on with an outstanding
quality of 5.1K video recording and DCI of 4K/ 120 fps (DJI Mavic 3, 2022).
Standing at 2600 SGD, it is no surprise how affordable it is especially with its
camera quality.
However, the Skydio 2+ is the drone to avoid. With its price of
1577 SGD features and functions, the DJI Air 2S easily outweighs the Skydio 2+.
A range of just 6km and flight time of 27 minutes, it is easily one to avoid
purchasing (Skydio 2+, 2022). With its only new feature camera framing KeyFrame
there is not much you can get out of it. Similarly like the other 3 drones, the
Skydio 2+ has a navigation system by Scout but does not contain that military
grade system as compared with the other 3. Easily, this drone is one to avoid.
With its price, the Air 2s is a better choice.
