DJI introduced the new cinema drone Matrice 600
Welcome to the pages of the blog iCover . On April 17, one of the leading manufacturers of drone DJI announced the model DJI Matrice 600, positioned as a professional drone for shooting movies. Technical characteristics and functionality of this flying platform have no analogues in the manufacturer's lineup. In more detail about DJI Matrice 600 and the new opportunities appearing at operators of film studios and those few enthusiasts who are not constrained by the concept "price" we will tell in our publication.
The unique capabilities of drones are increasingly used for video clips, advertising and movies. At the same time, it is possible to ensure the current image quality only by using professional, quite overall and heavy video equipment and a suspension with stabilization. Until the last moment, the last requirement became an obstacle due to the limitations associated with the carrying capacity of drones. DJI managed to resolve this contradiction in the Matrice 600 (M600) model, announced last week.
The main emphasis, as it is clear from the analysis of the characteristics, the functionality of the model and the available commercials, is put on its use in professional cinema. Support for LightBridge 2 technology allows you to broadcast video with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels and a frequency of 60 frames / second. The maximum distance at which broadcasting is possible is an impressive 5,000 m, the maximum height is up to 2500 m.

The wingspan of the DJI Matrice 600 is 759 mm with its own weight of about 9.5 kg. Maximum take-off weight up to 15.1 kg. The maximum weight of attachments, respectively, is 5.6 kg, the value at which the time spent in the air, depending on the type of battery installed, is reduced from a possible 45 minutes (with lightweight equipment and a reinforced battery) to 16 - 18 minutes . A standard battery, on average, provides up to 35 minutes of uninterrupted flight.
The speed characteristics of the DJI Matrice 600 look quite impressive, with a maximum flight speed of 65 km / h (18 m / s) and climb up to 5 m / s.
The drone's specialization gave him another interesting technical feature. DJI engineers equipped the Matrice 600 with the latest flight control unit with just three GPS modules and the same number of IMUs (inertial measurement units), which enabled the device to be positioned with unprecedented precision. The operator can specify the desired flight path before the start of the shooting and the drone will repeat it with an accuracy of 1 centimeter. It is worth noting that the installed stabilization sensors brilliantly cope not only with sharp and sharp turns and bends, but also with powerful wind currents. This opens up the possibility to shoot the highest quality and detailed images in the most difficult conditions.
The device supports DJI SDK and has many additional modular sections. Attachments - communications, cameras, sensors, batteries, and information processing units can be placed in compartments specifically designed for this purpose. Modularity makes the model unique in its way, because it allows it to be adapted to perform a variety of different tasks, both at the user level and at the developer level.
Body material - carbon fiber. The chassis is equipped with interchangeable covers, damping vibration and softening the moment of contact with the ground during landing. Attachments - communications, cameras, sensors, batteries, and information processing units can be placed in compartments specifically designed for this purpose.
The cost of a DJI Matrice 600 is $ 4,599. Here you need to take into account that the camera is not included in the kit - you only buy the drone itself, the software package and the control panel. However, as mentioned above, for the extra money it is technically possible to complete the required video equipment from Sony, Canon, Nikon, RED, Panasonic, Black Magic, etc.
