DJI Matrice 400 RTK – L3 LiDAR Survey Kit

This kit pairs the DJI Matrice 400 RTK with the DJI Zenmuse L3 LiDAR payload for survey-grade aerial mapping. Drone Parts Center assembles it for land surveyors, engineering firms and infrastructure managers who need a rugged flight platform and a latest-generation LiDAR sensor, configured and ready to fly.

A rugged flight platform

The DJI Matrice 400 is IP55-rated and flies from -20 to 50 °C (without direct sunlight). Its omnidirectional obstacle sensing, reinforced by LiDAR and millimetre-wave radar, makes flights near power lines and complex structures safer. The Zenmuse L3 mounts on its own dedicated single gimbal connector.

Zenmuse L3: accuracy, range and penetration

The Zenmuse L3 integrates a 1,535 nm long-range LiDAR, a high-accuracy POS system and two 100 MP 4/3 CMOS RGB mapping cameras.

• Range: up to 950 m on objects with 10% reflectivity (at 100 kHz, at the centre of the field of view), so you can fly higher and cover a wider swath.
• Accuracy: 3 cm vertical and 4 cm horizontal (RMSE) at 120 m altitude, under DJI’s measurement conditions; DJI cites surveys at scales of 1:500 to 1:2000.
• Penetration: a laser spot about five times smaller than the Zenmuse L2’s (41 mm at 120 m) and up to 16 returns (at 100 and 350 kHz) to reach the ground beneath dense vegetation.
• Efficiency: up to 10 km² in a single flight and 100 km² per day (flat terrain, 300 m altitude, according to DJI), with simultaneous LiDAR and RGB capture.

Built for demanding applications

• Land surveyors: large-scale topographic surveys with less time spent in the field.
• Infrastructure: bridges, roads and power lines. Power Line Follow automatically tracks lines of 10 kV and above.
• Quarries: stockpile volume calculations and extraction monitoring with up-to-date 3D data.
• Forestry and environment: canopy analysis and terrain models beneath vegetation.

Key technical specifications

Data and deliverables

The L3’s RGB cameras deliver a 3 cm GSD even at 300 m altitude, according to DJI. Processing in DJI Terra generates colourised point clouds (LAS, LAZ, PLY and other formats), as well as orthophotos and digital surface models in GeoTIFF, compatible with the main CAD and GIS software. For PPK post-processing, the D-RTK base station must be within 15 km.
