 DJI unveiled two new payload solutions for its flagship commercial drone platform Matrice 300 RTK, destined to serve the most demanding aerial surveying missions: DJI Zenmuse P1 and DJI Zenmuse L1.

The Zenmuse L1 integrates a powerful yet ultra-lightweight Livox Lidar module with a 70° FOV and a 20-megapixel camera with a 1-inch CMOS sensor and a mechanical shutter on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal. The Zenmuse L1 can generate true-color point cloud models in real-time, or acquire a vast area (up to 2 km2) of point cloud data in a single flight. The module supports both Line Scan Mode and Non-repetitive Scanning Mode, a unique technology developed by Livox.

The new DJI Zenmuse P1 is the most powerful DJI camera payload dedicated to geospatial data acquisition, the company said. It integrates a 45-megapixel full-frame low-noise high-sensitivity sensor offering flexible viewing with interchangeable 24/35/50mm fixed-focus lenses on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal. The DJI Zenmuse P1 provides high accuracy without Ground Control Points (3cm horizontally / 5cm vertically) and high efficiency as it is able to cover 3 km2 in a single flight.

The DJI Zenmuse L1 and DJI Zenmuse P1 are available for pre-order from official DJI Enterprise dealers worldwide and will start shipping in early 2021.
