The Benefits of DJI Matrice 4 Series Drones for Building Envelope Projects

Writer: Hammer MissionsHammer Missions

Updated: Mar 5


DJI’s Matrice 4 series is a game-changer in the world of commercial drones. As the most compact Matrice drone ever produced, it brings all the reliability, wind tolerance, and advanced capabilities of its predecessors into a smaller and more portable package. This marks a significant leap forward in drone technology, proving that compact drones can maintain high performance without compromising on durability or sensor quality.


Why Get Excited About the Matrice 4 Series?


The Matrice 4 series comes equipped with multiple high-quality cameras that make it ideal for mapping, inspections, and 3D modeling. While previous Matrice drones, such as the M30, were primarily geared towards search and rescue and inspection tasks, the Matrice 4 series is specifically designed to excel in mapping and modeling, thanks to its improved camera technology.

Types of DJI Matrice 4 Series Drones


The Matrice 4 series consists of two models, each designed for different use cases:


  • Matrice 4E (M4E) – This model is optimized for high-accuracy mapping and 3D modeling. It features a 20-megapixel camera with a mechanical shutter, allowing for crisp, distortion-free images with fast shutter speeds. These features ensure that mapping projects yield precise and detailed results.

  • Matrice 4T (M4T) – Designed for thermal imaging and inspections, the M4T comes with a thermal camera that enables professionals to conduct thermal inspections of buildings efficiently. This makes it particularly useful for identifying insulation gaps, water leaks, and electrical faults.

Matrice 4 Series Cameras Explained


The cameras on the Matrice 4 series are what set these drones apart from previous models. They include:

  • M4E Camera: A 20MP wide-angle camera with a mechanical shutter, perfect for mapping and 3D modeling tasks.

  • M4T Camera Suite: A combination of wide-angle, medium telephoto, and thermal cameras, providing versatile imaging options for inspections and mapping.

These high-quality cameras ensure that whether you’re surveying a construction site, performing facade inspections, or conducting structural assessments, the Matrice 4 series can handle the job with precision.
