DJI Matrice 400
DJI enterprise drone: 6 kg payload, 59 min in DJI's stated test, LiDAR sensing.
A rotor mapping UAV built to carry survey-grade LiDAR and camera payloads.
The X500 is a CHCNAV rotor mapping platform, engineered to carry AlphaAir LiDAR and full-frame camera payloads for topo, corridor, and site mapping. With a 5 kg payload and long endurance, it collects survey-grade data in far fewer field days.
Teams building a survey-grade aerial workflow around a 5 kg payload capacity and a PPK or RTK plan, who want a documented CHCNAV payload path.
Teams already invested in DJI airframes, batteries and controllers, where adding a second ecosystem costs more than the aircraft.
Against the alternativesAgainst the DJI Matrice 400: both publish similar headline endurance, but under different payload conditions. The real split is ecosystem depth versus payload path, not specification.
