DJI Matrice 350 RTK arrives as new enterprise drone with 55-minute flight times
DJI has now introduced the Matrice 350 RTK, also known as the M350 RTK. As expected, the M350 RTK succeeds the M300 RTK that debuted three years ago. The M350 RTK is not a direct relation of the M30 though, which arrived last year. Instead, the M350 RTK serves as a true enterprise-grade drone.
According to DJI, it has added night vision FPV cameras and its O3 enterprise transmission system, allowing the Matrice 350 RTK to stream 1080p footage from up to 20 km away. Additionally, the drone is IP55 certified against dust and water, meaning that it lacks the same water and dust proofing as modern smartphones. In other words, the Matrice 350 RTK is unlikely to survive if it lands in water, for example.
Moreover, DJI includes its RC Plus remote controller as standard and sensors for detecting whether the M350's arms are locked in place. The new drone retains some its predecessor's functionality though, such as 55-minute flight times and support for up to three payloads simultaneously totalling below 2.7 kg. The Matrice 350 RTK starts at US$12,460 with its Worry-Free Basic Combo package or US$1,356 for the Worry-Free Plus Combo package. Please see DJI's website for more details.
