DJI Matrice 300 RTK full specs, accessories, and photos leak online

Another upcoming product launch, another set of massive leaks. So it goes for drone maker DJI. After its consumer-grade Mavic Air 2 was thoroughly leaked online, the same is now happening for the enterprise-grade Matrice 300 RTK.

It started a few days ago with video, photos, and a few key specs posted by reliable leaker OsitaLV on Twitter. Now an online retailer has put up an extensive listing for the product, complete with photos and an exhaustive specs list.

This listing confirms some of the biggest new upgrades. Per the latest leak, the new Matrice 300 RTK drone has a maximum flight time of 55 minutes. That’s five minutes more than we learned of in the previous leak, and it’s way up from 38 minutes on the current Matrice 200 V2. And the drone can carry a much bigger payload (such as advanced cameras). The new drone can carry up to 2.7kg (6 pounds), more than twice that of the M200 V2.

It also has six-directional sensors for obstacle recognition and avoidance, up from just forward sensors on its predecessor. And it operates in an extreme temperature range from -4 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit.

New things we’ve learned about the Matrice 300 RTK

Oh but there’s so much new info now. As for environmental conditions, we’ve learned that the Matrice 300 RTK is also IP45 weather-sealed to protect it from dust and rain.

And it has an incredible range of 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) thanks to the use of OcuSync Enterprise transmission system. This includes full 1080p video transmission. And the drone provides AES 256-bit encryption on all data transmission.

Based on a previous leak, we had expected the transmission range to be 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), in line with the new Mavic Air 2’s OcuSync. This new enterprise edition is clearly stronger than the consumer version. This 9.3-mile range is likely for the United States, which allows fairly high transmission power. Range will most likely be less in regions like Europe or China, which set lower limits.

And it won’t take long for the drone to test the limits of its range. The Matrice 300 RTK flies at a max speed of 51 miles per hour.

At these distances, you’d likely be flying well beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). In the US, that requires a special Part 107 waiver from the FAA. (Since 2016 only 53 such waivers have been given.) Should a user go that route, the Matrice 300 RTK is equipped with a first-person view (FPV) camera with 145-degree field of view that streams 960p video at 30fps.

Smart inspection features

Speaking of cameras, the Matrice 300 RTK offers a number of smart modes for the inspection and reconnaissance work it’s likely to be employed in. The drone’s Smart Inspection suite includes three functions:

• Live Mission Recording allows you to record every aspect of a flight, even down to gimbal position and camera settings. The drone can replay this entire flight on future missions
• AI Spot Check recognizes the item of interest, such as a section of power line that is being inspected. It uses AI to identify that item on future trips and ensure that the photo is framed identically.
• Waypoints 2.0 allows you to set a whopping 65,535 waypoints for an inspection mission. Combined with a BVLOS exemption, you can imagine the drone flying to inspect miles and miles of infrastructure such as power lines or oil and gas wells.

Finally, there are smart features for identifying a particular item for inspection or tracking. With PinPoint, you can just tap an item in the live view to get its exact coordinates. Smart Track allows you to select a subject to follow, such as a car or boat, and the Matrice 300 RTK will continue to follow it. With either of these features, the Location Sharing function allows you to share the subject’s location to another controller. That’s significant because now Matrice 300 RTK can have two controllers who fly like copilots.
