🙅 👨🏽‍🏭 🛰️ DJI Matrice 300 RTK industrial quadrocopter review 🍗 👨‍👨‍👧‍👧 👨🏼‍🎤

DJI introduced the new industrial drone Matrice 300 RTK . It is capable of being in the air for 55 minutes, and with a maximum load of 2.7 kilograms, the battery capacity is enough for 31 minutes. The drone's potential is truly impressive.

The manufacturer managed to put intelligence, high performance and reliability at the same time into the device. Matrice 300 RTK is expected to become an indispensable tool in areas such as search and rescue and fire fighting, law enforcement and construction, construction, inspection of power lines, pipelines and wells, and can also serve as a universal device in the field of entertainment: from capturing spectacular views to making a movie.

Two inertial measurement units (

IMUs ) The Matrice 300 RTK is equipped with two inertial measurement units ( IMUs ). They are widely used in aviation, including UAVs. The main task is to determine the accelerations and angular positions of the drone.

In the event of a malfunction of the IMU, the drone will not take off, and in the air this threatens with a serious accident. The developers of the M300 RTK took care of this issue and applied block redundancy technology. In other words, in the event of a failure of the main unit within 0.2 seconds, the spare IMU is automatically activated. This will help maintain flight stability and safely land the drone device on the ground.

Two barometers

The barometer determines relative altitude based on atmospheric pressure. Duplication of the M300 RTK barometer allows the drone to switch to the
backup barometer in the event of a primary failure.

Two compasses A

compass, or magnetometer, provides information on the flight path for a UAV. Matrice 300 RTK is equipped with two of them, and in this case they are interchangeable. Their simultaneous work improves the quality of work, and in the event of failure of one of the devices, the second takes on the full function of flight control.

In the event of a failure of both compasses, the RTK navigation system takes over the functions of the compass, determining the cardinal points from the relative position of the navigation antennas.

Two Matrice 300 RTK batteries

equipped with two batteries with a capacity of 274 Wh each. In fact, they are also duplicates. If one of the batteries fails, the second will be able to provide power for a safe fit.

Collision avoidance

Matrice 300 RTK is highly protected against accidents and collisions. Six pairs of visual sensors work simultaneously in it to study the situation in all directions in real time. The range of operation of the lower and upper sensors, which are respectively directed up and down, is 0.6 - 30 meters. The remaining four look around, as well as forward and backward. Their working range is from 0.7 to 40 meters.

There are six infrared ToF sensors. They help determine the distance to the object by measuring the transit time of the IR signal. And infrared sensors provide distance sensing in low light conditions. Their working range is 0.1 - 8 meters, and the viewing angle is 30 °.

Auxiliary lighting

Auxiliary lights mounted above and below the drone have a 5-meter effective distance. They can automatically turn on in low light conditions for the functioning of the visual sensor system.

Two control panels Dual Remote Controller

More precisely, the dual control mode of the Matrice 300 RTK . Thus, two operators can control the flight at the same time. And in the event of a loss of communication between one remote control and a drone, the function automatically switches to the second pilot. This will allow not to stop production tasks. In addition, the function is useful for beginners paired with a more experienced operator.

DJI AirSense Technology

Allows the operator to keep abreast of the external situation in the sky. Notifies about changes in weather conditions (air temperature, wind speed), as well as the presence of dangerous objects for a drone: airplanes, helicopters and other drones within a radius of 20 kilometers. Information includes the exact location of the object, speed, course and altitude. In the event of a collision risk, the system additionally notifies the pilot through the application.

Emergency landing

M300 RTKcan make an emergency landing with one failed engine. Basic drone controls such as ascending, descending and horizontal movements will remain available to the pilot. Of course, the drone and payload can be damaged during an emergency landing, but the pilot can land somewhere far away from people or buildings to keep them safe.

Degree of protection of the case - IP45

Ingress Protection Rating (translated from English - the degree of protection against penetration) allows you to easily work in adverse weather conditions. In the case of the M300 RTK we are talking about IP45 protection . This is complete protection against rain, snow and dust with an operating temperature range of -20 ° C to + 50 ° C.

Below, see the visual designation of each digit, where the first is responsible for the level of protection against penetration of foreign objects:

And the second is protection against water:

Payload

Matrice 300 RTK is able to accommodate five useful loads in terms of functionality and application. Of these: Zenmuse H20, H20T, XT S, XT2 and Z30 . Of these, the H20 and H20T are hybrid cameras with a thermal imager designed specifically for the industrial M300 RTK .

The first Zenmuse H20 single-grid camera is equipped with three shooting sensors: the main 20-megapixel module with 23x hybrid optical zoom and 4K / 30p support, a wide-angle module with a viewing angle of 82.9 ° - 1 / 2.3 ″ 12-megapixel for evaluation environment, and a laser range finder, covering distances from 3 meters to 1200 meters.

, Zenmuse H20T . , H20, – 640 × 512 . – 40,6°, 30 / : ≤ 50 f/1,0 (NEDT).

Both cameras are equipped with many intelligent modes for better performance of industrial work. For example, Smart Pin & Track for aerial reconnaissance. This includes the PinPoint function , which allows you to mark the desired object in the frame and transmit accurate information to the console about its location; and Smart Track to automatically detect and track a moving object.

In addition, AI-Spot Check will allow you to collect data every time from the same place and at the same time, depending on the mode setting. The object of interest can always be changed by specifying the data in the settings. And with Waypoints 2.065,535 waypoints can be built, while supporting a number of other sequential actions.

The maximum payload weight on the M300 RTK is 2.7 kg. The maximum take-off weight is 9 kg. In addition, it is worth saying that the developer provided the drone with support for third-party payloads.

Payload setting

At the same time , three cameras or other third-party equipment can be installed on the Matrice 300 RTK . The only requirement is that the total weight should not exceed 2.7 kg. There is a variation of the installation:

One suspension from below

Two suspensions from below

One suspension at the bottom and one at the top

Two suspensions at the bottom and one at the top

Wide Angle FPV Camera

Built-in wide-angle FPV camera with a viewing angle of 145 ° and the ability to broadcast live in 960p format at a distance of up to 15 kilometers. It is mainly used as information on flight, the technical condition of the M300 RTK and the external environment.

DJI Smart Controller Enterprise

RTK

Real Time Kinematic (RTK) , or “ real-time kinematics ”, or in Russian KVR, - this system can be called differently. In general, she is responsible for receiving information from the air. In other words, this is an improved system for improving the accuracy of data received through the Global Navigation Satellite System ( GNSS ) - GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO or COMPASS. RTK is online.

The system constantly transmits to the pilot’s control panel data such as latitude, longitude and altitude, external climatic factors and reports about objects that could cause damage to your device.

In addition, the technology allows you to use the automatic following functions for a given course, as well as perform various maneuvers, including long-term freezes in place. What is important, the work of RTK is carried out online and data from the earth is transmitted to the nearest centimeter.

RTK positioning accuracy (with active RTK on the M300):

1 cm + 1 ppm (horizontal)
1.5 cm + 1 ppm (vertical).
