    M30T DJI app login

    You do need to periodically login. For example, if you let the drone sit for 6 months, you'll have to log back in with an Internet connection. After that, you don't need an Internet connection to fly. It certainly doesn't render them useless. Part of the reason for this is so DJI can inform you...

    Matrice 30T carry case

    That's nasty. Kind of makes me scared about breaking anything on my M30 case. I took the wheels off and took pictures of them and tried a Google image search without success. I've attached the photos here in case you can find some use for them. Perhaps sending them to DJI might help source them.

    EU Certification for M300 RTK?

    I found this (here: How can I legally fly the DJI M300 RTK in Germany?): How can I legally fly the DJI M300 RTK in Germany? The DJI M300 RTK normally has a take-off weight of approx. 6.5 kg. This makes it one of the heavier drones on the market. It is a stock drone. This means that with a small...

    PSDK / Payload question

    I assume you've got it plugged into the PSDK port which is the one on the starboard side of the aircraft? Also, isn't there an option in the Pilot app to enable the port so it can be used?

    M30T/ How to slave a second RC Plus to Master controller

    You can do both apparently. It's common in Search and Rescue to relieve pilots during long stretches or to fly and follow ahead.

    Anyone with experience with methane detection and the U10 payload?

    I can't seem to find much information about use in the field with the U10 methane gas detector by AiLF. I'm trying to find out if it can be used to scan a wide area like my M3E/M30 doing surveys and mapping. We have an interest in our county where there are a lot of wells - many of which have...

    M30T Battery falls out but still lands with one battery

    Lucky recovery! And great that the Matrice uses 2 batteries for failsafe. I noticed that it's easy not to push the batteries home hard enough to fully click the locking lever. I have to push them in pretty smartly - enough though it seems excessive and then as a last thing, I have a habit of...

    First of all, I know nothing about Matrices, but am considering one.

    I bought a Matrice M30 for the optical zoom that covers 113-405mm equivalent. It gets great telephoto views, but, yeah, it's a 12 mpx 1/2" sensor and needs light to get good results. I also have a Mavic 3 and the 20 mpx wide camera is great, but the 7X camera is underwhelming. Using the digital...

    Commercial Drone Pilot / Operations Manager for Water Utility in Pennsylvania.

    After taking a close look at the instructions in the manual, it looks like after linking both controllers, one flies the drone (green flashing) and the other controller flashes white and does nothing. The 2nd operator can touch the camera icon on the upper right of the screen and then control...

    What camera does this come with?

    Perhaps start with your use-case scenario and work backwards from there? What is your intended purpose and with that in mind, take a look at the various payloads for cameras, LIDAR, etc. Also, remember that there are auxiliary payloads you can attach to the top - PA speakers, lights, and more.

    Focus/zoom pumping on the 30T?

    Yes - that's annoying as it reacquires focus. If you're pretty far away, you could set the focus to manual, focus on the subject and it might stay in focus without the focus "hunting".

    Disappointing Matrice 30T quality as well as support

    That's a nasty experience. I had a similar problem with my M30 in the field when I stupidly allowed an update to proceed before flying. The connection was poor to the DJI servers and yeah - the update failed. I deleted the onboard cache at home and reinstalled the update from a more secure WIFI...

    M30T activation error

    Have you performed a reset on the controller to factory settings and start over with logging back in and adding updates?

    M30T activation error

    Do you have the right Assistant program? There's an Enterprise/Pro version you need to use for the M30 and other Enterprise drones. Here: DJI Assistant 2 (Enterprise Series) - Download Center - DJI
