DJI's new flying platform designed for professional aerial photography and industrial applications.
It's built to integrate with an array of DJI technologies, including the A3 flight controller, Lightbridge 2 transmission system, Intelligent batteries and management system for maximum performance and quick setup.
The M600 offers abundant extension ports, supports Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS units and a new Ground Station, all of which enhance accuracy, reliability and operational capabilities.
Key features.
Total Integration
The modular design makes this easy to set up and ready to use in just minutes. Its dust proof propulsion systems simplify maintenance while actively cooled motors make for reliable operation during extended periods of time. All Zenmuse cameras and gimbals are compatible and with a max payload of 6kg which allows it to fly with the Ronin MX gimbal and a range of cameras from Micro Four Thirds systems to the RED Epic. When used with the Lightbridge 2 the DJI Focus can be incorporated, allowing film makers to accurately pull focus wirelessly with a twist of the hand across the entire transmission range.
Smart Flight Safety.
The M600 uses sine-wave driven, intelligent ESC's to ensure it performs accurately, safely and efficiently while the A3's self adaptive flight systems adjust flight parameters automatically based on different payloads. The A3 can be upgraded with two additional GNSS and IMU units to A3 Pro or D-RTK GNSS for enhanced accuracy. (A3 Pro and D-RTK GNSS are sold separately)
Extended Flight Time and Transmission Range.
The M600 features an extended flight time and a 5km (depending on local regulations) long range, ultra low latency HD image transmission for accurate image composition and capture. Using 6 Intelligent batteries, allowing it to easily be shipped to wherever is needed. A customised battery management system and power distribution board allows all six batteries to be turned on with one button press, and keeps the system in flight in the event of a failure of a single battery, and allows users to check the battery status in real time during flight.
Professional HD Transmission.
DJI Lightbridge 2 has been designed from the ground up to meet the requirements of professional broadcasting, offering high frame rates and HD Live streaming, USB, mini HDMI and 3G SDI ports support video output at up to 1080p/60fps or a broadcast standard output of 720p/59.94fps and 1080i/50fps. Through its integrated controller and intelligent algorithms it sets a new standard for wireless HD image transmission by lowering latency and increasing maximum range and reliability.
Open to Development.
The M600 is fully compatible with the DJI Onboard SDK and Mobile SDK to meet the requirements of those building software for industrial applications. It has a dual parallel CAN and API ports for connecting DJI devices including the Guidance sensor system, the RTK GNSS units or third party components of your choice.
