Source-controlled comparison of the DJI Matrice 400 and DJI Matrice 350 RTK
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 O4 Enterprise Enhanced Video Transmission O3 Enterprise, up to 20 km (FCC) Both publish enterprise transmission systems; regional limits and site interference still control the usable link.
Ingress protection IP55 with TB100 batteries (conditional) IP55 with TB65 batteries (conditional) Both publish IP55 under stated conditions. The rating is not permanent; follow the relevant DJI weather, battery and port-cover requirements.
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 -20°C to 50°C -20°C to 50°C Published aircraft ranges match, but payload, battery and weather limits still apply separately.

Replacement decision in practice

When to move to the 400

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.

When to stay on the 350 RTK

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.

Confirm the exact version before comparing price

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 or Shenzhen handover in writing before payment.

Price and total cost of ownership

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.

Final decision

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.

Fleet migration route

A move from Matrice 350 RTK to Matrice 400 should be treated as a controlled fleet migration. The newer platform's published payload allowance and endurance are useful starting points, but neither figure proves that an existing sensor, battery, station or operating procedure transfers unchanged. Start with the equipment the team already owns.

  1. 1Inventory the payload routeThe Matrice 350 RTK has the established Zenmuse ecosystem identified above. Confirm the mounting and current compatibility of every required payload before treating the Matrice 400's higher published capacity as an upgrade path.
  2. 2Price the operating system, not only the airframeThe Matrice 400 route includes its battery and BS100 station requirements. The Matrice 350 RTK route may preserve existing fleet infrastructure, training and payload workflow.
  3. 3Set an acceptance planAsk for the exact aircraft version, payload configuration, batteries, station, controller and included items in writing before the fleet changes procurement or training plans.

This makes the comparison practical: choose the Matrice 400 when the newer platform's published headroom is needed and the migration is documented; retain the Matrice 350 RTK when its proven payload ecosystem remains the lower-risk operating system.
