Sphere and DJI Matrice 100 - Australia's Drone Resource
A NEW DJI Drone has been leaked - the new DJI Matrice 100. This information has been sourced via an email DJI published early hours (EST). A modular design allows for various DJI products to be compatible with the NEW DJI Matrice with the DJI Inspire 1 X3 Camera, dual battery configuration for longer flight times, expansion bays to put all of your desired devices and finally a sensor kit that helps your platform see its environment.
Features:
Expansion Bays
Additional expansion bays allow you to add components, customize the payload, and fly with any devices you want. Put cameras, sensors, computing boards, communication tools, and more into the sky, and gather data while completing complex jobs from a birds‐eye view.
Universal Power and Communication Ports
Plug in and fly with almost any device, and transmit data via the Matrice 100’s dual CAN and UART ports. There are two of each port on your platform, enabling you to mount and build a system that matches your needs.
Dual Battery Compartments
Add an additional battery compartment to achieve up to 40 minutes* of flight time. This gives greater power to both your platform and any additional devices or accessories that you wish to fly with. *Flight times vary based on payload and flight conditions, and the maximum 40 minute flight time tested when hovering with dual TB48D batteries and no additional payload.
Customizable Mounting and Balancing
Achieve perfect balance and an ideal flight experience by sliding the battery and other compartments around the body of your Matrice 100. Put your components exactly where you want them, and get the most out of your system.
Adjustable Arm Angle for Greater Torque
Flexible to match your flight needs, adjusting the arm angle of each of the 4 arms is quick and easy. Achieve increased yaw torque and greater response by tilting the arms to a 3 degree angle.
50% Less Vibrations, Rigid, Strong System
To reduce vibrations, increase stiffness, and bring unmatched reliability, your Matrice 100 is made of strong, lightweight carbon fiber. Each of the arms contains DJI’s new soft vibration absorbing material that virtually eliminates feedback from the powerful motors, keeping your critical components stable and allowing unprecedented accuracy.
Responsive, Quick Release Landing Pads
Innovative landing pads or “feet” are installed at the base of each arm to protect your Matrice 100 when landing. These pads greatly reduce impact, protecting your system and eliminating the chance of your platform unintentionally lifting off of the ground. Also easy and quick to remove for replacement or upgrades.
Dedicated Remote Controller
Take control of your platform with the customizable, long‐range remote controller included with the Matrice 100. With an operating distance of up to 1.2 miles* (2km), a rechargeable battery, fully adjustable controls, and outputs to connect to your mobile device, this is the perfect tool to command your system in the air. *Maximum range tested in open areas free of interference and may vary depending on local regulations.
Full Mobile App Support
Fly with the feature‐rich DJI Pilot app or create your own app with the DJI SDK. See a live view, control your devices, access a real‐time map, and more by simply plugging in your tablet or smartphone.
Enhanced GPS
Enhanced GPS with a foldable mount helps you to track your Matrice 100’s position in real time, while enabling faster satellite acquisition, more accurate position holding and flight planning.
Upgraded Flight Controller and Integrated Lightbridge
DJI’s new N1 flight controller keeps your Matrice 100 stable and responsive to your commands throughout every flight. Transmitting data to you and bringing a live HD view (when using DJI’s X5 Camera and gimbal), the included DJI Lightbridge increases your flight range to 1.2 miles* (2km). *Maximum range tested in open areas free of interference and may vary depending on local regulations.
Purpose‐Built Propulsion System
An upgraded version of the respected DJI E800 electric propulsion system powers your Matrix 100 and keeps it in flight. Four powerful, brushless motors and four lightning fast Electronic Speed Controllers are integrated into the platform, giving you complete control during flight. With increased strength and payload capacity, you have the flexibility to create the system you need.
Compatible Parts for Further Functionality
The Matrix 100 is compatible with a wide range of DJI accessories including:
-
Guidance: DJI’s revolutionary sensor kit that helps your platform see its environment and recognize when obstacles or other objects are nearby.
-
X3 Camera and Gimbal: Shoot stabilized 4K video and capture 12 megapixel images from the sky with DJI’s integrated camera and 3‐axis gimbal system.
-
Extra Battery: Extend your flight time by flying with an additional DJI Intelligent Flight Battery.
-
Expansion Bays: Use more expansion bays to put all of your desired devices onto your Matrix 100 and create a truly unique, customized platform.
