The M200 series’ is made for easy carry and easy set up, with a folding body. It’s weather- and water-resistant, ideal for field operations. It comes with DJI’s first upward-facing gimbal mount, allowing for inspection of undersides of bridges, towers and other structures.
It is compatible with DJI’s X4S and X5S cameras, as well as the high-powered Z30 zoom camera and the XT camera for thermal imaging. It has a forward-facing first-person view camera, allowing a pilot and a camera operator to monitor separate images on dual controllers. Its safety features include obstacle avoidance sensors facing forward, up and down, as well as an ADS-B receiver for advisory traffic information from nearby manned aircraft. Fitted with a dual battery set-up, the M200 platform can fly for up to 35 minutes with a mounted camera.
The M200 series is designed with professional data collection in mind, using drones for more precise, efficient and safe aerial data collection. It could be used for critical infrastructure inspections, energy facilities inspections, construction site mapping, public safety and more. Especially during emergency situations, where first responders need more data to make better decisions. The drones are made so that work is more effective, and people can work in safer conditions.
The M200 series comes in three versions. The standard M200 is equipped with one downward-facing gimbal mount. The M210 opens up for multiple payload configurations – one single downward facing gimbal mount, two parallel downward-facing gimbal mounts or one upward-facing gimbal mount. The M210 features additional connectivity ports to support third party sensors and accessories. The M210 has the capability to support additional sensors in the future and additional payload can be mounted on top of the aircraft. The M210 RTK is available with D-RTK modules for centimeter-precision navigation.
The aircraft has an IP43 classification, and is equipped with more than 20 internal sensors for maximum redundancy and reliability, including compass, GPS system, dual inertial measurement units (IMUs) and three barometers. Gimbal controllers have been integrated in the aircraft body for protection and to prevent drift. The aircraft features two stereo-vision systems below and in front of the aircraft and has an upward facing infrared sensor for obstacle avoidance. A redundant battery system improves safety and also allows the craft to stay powered while batteries are swapped in sequence.
The M200 series features DJI AirSense, a built-in ADS-B receiver, enhancing airspace safety by automatically providing the operator with real-time information about the position, altitude, and velocity of nearby manned aircraft equipped with ADS-B transmitters.
The M200 series supports DJI GO 4 app, as well as the new DJI Pilot app, which is designed for enterprise users. The DJI Pilot app is compatible with DJI FlightHub, a web-based software package allowing teams to share real-time data with offsite parties over the Internet, including remote emergency situation control rooms keeping track of first response teams or asset management centers inspecting global infrastructure networks.
The M200 series’ features multiple DJI sensors, enabling advanced shots such as zooming while tracking an object:
- Spotlight – to lock the camera onto a subject during flight while the aircraft moves freely
- Point of Interest – to circle around an object for a smooth orbit
- Tripod – to fine-tune position and angle for position framing and safe navigation in narrow environments
- ActiveTrack – to follow a person or object while keeping it in frame
The M200 series offers two battery versions – a standard 95 Wh version and a more powerful version of 174 Wh with flight time of up to 38 minutes.
The M200, the M210 and the M210 RTK are available for pre-order from official DJI Enterprise dealers and will start shipping in Q2 2017. Pricing details and availability will be announced on a later date.
