DJI Matrice 300 RTK
#8 in Professional Cinematography Drones · Rated 4.3
Enterprise-grade platform with multi-payload support and advanced autonomy
DJI's Matrice 300 RTK (M300 RTK) is a premier industrial drone platform designed for public safety, utilities, and heavy inspection tasks. It supports multiple payloads via gimbals including H20/H20T and other third‑party options, with a configurable payload matrix to run three payloads simultaneously. The aircraft features a robust autonomy stack, IP45 protection (varies by configuration), and OcuSync Enterprise for reliable long‑range video. While primarily a commercial/industrial system, the M300 RTK is commonly used in film production for location work where robust reliability, safety, and data collection are critical. Its open SDK and supports for Onboard/Mobile SDKs expand its integration into complex post‑production pipelines.
