DJI, the world’s leading manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles, has updated the capabilities of its largest drone series by introducing the new Matrice 600 Pro, which offers improved flight performance, a more powerful battery charging system and better loading capacity for industrial equipment and other aerial applications, such as in mining for carrying of instruments.

The M600 Pro’s A3 Pro flight controller comes with triple modular redundancy and diagnostic algorithms that compare sensor data from three sets of GNSS units, which enhances precision control while improving overall safety. Vibration damping balls have been added to the flight controller’s redundant IMU module and main controller, absorbing more shake and reducing more noise. The compatibility with D-RTK GNSS makes the A3 Pro withstand magnetic interference and provides centimetre-level accuracy, which makes it suitable for industrial applications.

DJI’s E2000 Pro dustproof propulsion system simplifies maintenance and its active cooling motors ensure that operation is reliable for extended periods of time. The M600 Pro is compatible with DJI’s Zenmuse camera series, the Ronin-MX gimbal and DJI Focus. It “effortlessly” supports a payload of 6 kg, meaning it can carry a range of cameras from Micro Four Thirds systems to the RED EPIC.

The M600 Pro has been optimised for transportation and comes with pre-installed arms and antennas. When folded, the platform is smaller than the standard M600. The M600 Pro comes with an updated battery charging hub, enabling users to charge the six intelligent batteries at the same time and thereby reducing overall charging time.
