DJI, a global leader in drone and camera technology, has introduced the DJI Zenmuse H30 Series, an advanced aerial payload designed for day and night operations. The Zenmuse H30 Series includes the H30T and H30 models, featuring all-weather, multi-sensor capabilities aimed at improving visual clarity from greater distances and angles.
The H30T model integrates five major modules: a wide-angle camera, a zoom camera, an infrared thermal camera, a laser range finder, and a NIR auxiliary light. The H30 model includes a wide-angle camera, a zoom camera, a laser range finder, and a NIR auxiliary light. Both models are compatible with the DJI Matrice 300 RTK and Matrice 350 RTK drones, utilizing intelligent algorithms to enhance both daytime and nighttime vision.
“Once again, DJI has pushed the boundaries of aerial visuals to set new perception and imaging standards with the Zenmuse H30 Series,” said Christina Zhang, Senior Director of Corporate Strategy at DJI. “The unparalleled visuals from this trustworthy payload will no doubt enhance the effectiveness of drone pilots aiding search and rescue operations, firefighting efforts, utility inspections, and conservation efforts. As DJI‘s most integrated and powerful enterprise flagship payloads, they are designed to serve multiple critical industries.”
High-Resolution Vision
The Zenmuse H30 Series is equipped with a 40MP zoom camera capable of up to 34× optical zoom and 400× digital zoom, allowing operators to capture fine details, such as reading a license plate from 650 meters away. An Electronic Dehazing function improves image clarity in smoggy or humid conditions, beneficial for emergency rescue and routine inspections.
The image stabilization algorithm ensures stable imagery, crucial for tasks like power line inspections. The laser range finder offers precise positioning information for subjects up to 3000 meters away, outperforming previous models.
Day and Night Operation
In low-light conditions, the cameras switch to Night Scene mode, supporting infrared light for enhanced night vision. The Full-Color Night Vision and Black-and-White Night Vision modes provide high-quality recordings and live views, beneficial for search-and-rescue missions. Smart Capture mode automatically adjusts brightness for natural transitions between light and dark.
Advanced Infrared Capabilities
The H30T’s infrared thermal camera has a 1280×1024 resolution with up to 32× digital zoom, capable of measuring temperatures up to 1600° C. This aids firefighters in hotspot detection and search-and-rescue teams in identifying minor temperature differences. The Ultra-High Resolution Infrared Image function ensures clear images at higher zoom levels, and the Link Zoom feature allows side-by-side comparison of visual and thermal images.
Durability and Reliability
The Zenmuse H30 Series is built to operate in harsh conditions with an IP54 dust and water resistance rating and can function in temperatures ranging from -20° to 50° C.
