Heavy-lift enterprise platform comparison
Short answer: Choose the DJI Matrice 400 as the newest heavy-lift generation with a higher payload allowance and a longer published endurance. Choose the DJI Matrice 350 RTK for a mature, IP55-rated platform with a wide Zenmuse payload ecosystem and established fleet support. Confirm payload compatibility and configuration before purchase.

Values below are manufacturer reference specifications, not guaranteed mission performance. Test methods, propellers, batteries, firmware and regional standards differ.
| Decision factor | DJI Matrice 400 | DJI Matrice 350 RTK | Procurement meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platform generation | Newest DJI heavy-lift generation | Established heavy-lift platform | The 400 is the newer design; the 350 RTK is the proven incumbent. |
| Max takeoff weight | 15,800 g (MTOM) | 9.2 kg | The Matrice 400 carries a substantially higher maximum takeoff mass. |
| Max payload | Up to 6 kg (varies with altitude and battery) | Single-gimbal damper up to 960 g | The 400 targets heavier and combined payloads; confirm mounting for your sensors. |
| Reference flight time | Up to 59 min (DJI test conditions) | Up to 55 min (no payload, windless) | Both publish long endurance; payload and wind reduce real endurance. |
| Transmission | DJI Pilot 2 enterprise workflow | O3 Enterprise, up to 20 km (FCC) | Confirm the 400 transmission spec for the supplied region; the 350 RTK publishes O3 Enterprise. |
| Ingress protection | Confirm the current rating | IP55 (published) | The 350 RTK publishes IP55; confirm the 400 rating from a current source. |
| Batteries / station | TB100 batteries + BS100 Battery Station | TB65 batteries + BS65 Battery Station | Different battery generations; plan charging infrastructure per platform. |
| Payload ecosystem | New-generation payloads and dual-gimbal connector | Zenmuse H20/H20T/H20N, P1, L1, L2 | The 350 RTK has a mature Zenmuse ecosystem; confirm 400 payload compatibility. |
| Operating temperature | Confirm for configuration | -20°C to 50°C | The 350 RTK publishes a wide operating window. |
The Matrice 400 raises maximum takeoff mass and payload headroom and publishes a longer endurance, suiting heavier combined-sensor missions and fleets standardising on the newest generation and battery station.
The Matrice 350 RTK remains a strong, IP55-rated platform with a broad Zenmuse ecosystem (H20 series, P1, L1, L2) and established parts and support, which can lower risk for teams already invested in those payloads.
These aircraft ship in different regional versions and bundles. Transmission distance, certification class and included batteries change with the supplied configuration. Reboot Hub confirms the exact version, package contents, activation requirements, warranty terms and Hong Kong pickup in writing before payment.
Heavy-lift total cost includes batteries and stations, payloads, training and spares. Moving to the Matrice 400 adds payload headroom and the BS100 station but requires new batteries and payload validation. Staying on the Matrice 350 RTK preserves a mature Zenmuse ecosystem and existing infrastructure. Request a package quotation to compare true landed cost for your fleet.
Pick the Matrice 400 for the newest generation, higher payload allowance and longest published endurance. Pick the Matrice 350 RTK for a mature, IP55-rated platform with a broad Zenmuse ecosystem. Confirm payload compatibility, batteries and configuration before purchase.
Choose the Matrice 400 for the newest generation, a higher maximum takeoff mass and a longer published endurance. Choose the Matrice 350 RTK for a mature IP55 platform with a broad Zenmuse payload ecosystem and established support.
The Matrice 400 is the newer heavy-lift generation. Whether it replaces the 350 RTK for you depends on payload compatibility and your existing Zenmuse and battery investment.
The Matrice 400 publishes a higher maximum takeoff mass (15,800 g) and up to 6 kg payload; the Matrice 350 RTK is a lighter platform. Confirm sensor mounting for your payloads.
Both are supplied on a written quotation with Hong Kong pickup. Request a quote and confirm payloads, batteries and configuration before purchase.
