While the thermal version of the Matrice is a much better choice for public safety, the E version is no slouch.

I flew my personal drone along with our Matrice 300 RTK for overwatch of a concert last week and this drone was a valuable asset.

The Matrice:
  • Made a quick situational awareness map in Flight Hub 2 to give an as built background map of the venue
    • It made this map in almost realtime and all viewers in Flight Hub 2 could now see the complete venue along with all of our drones and associated live streams
  • Had the spotlight and speaker payloads installed and was useful in looking in total darkness
  • Had a drop device installed and carried a Restube (Self Inflating rescue tube) - Our concerts are held at the beach right next to the ocean
  • Used its Night Scene Mode (Not NIR Light, as it is only for the thermal version) and this worked very well as long as you were not moving
  • The zoom is only a notch below the Matrice 300 H20T payload
  • The large 4/3 CMOS sensor on this drone is excellent in low light
  • Created various panoramas, images and video and the quality of these were far superior to an Matrice 30T and Matrice 300 RTK with H20T payload.
  • It failed again when counting a large dense crowd, but always does well with people when they are more spread out
I could not be happier with how the drone performed. Our PD has a thermal version on order after seeing just how capable this drone is.
