A drone designed to observe and intervene on the ground
When it is necessary to examine a wooded area, monitor infrastructure, or search for a heat source, image quality and flight reliability make the difference.
The DJI Matrice 5T combines several observation tools into a compact aerial platform: high-resolution thermal imaging, visible cameras, long-distance zoom, laser rangefinder, and advanced obstacle detection systems.
Its IP55 design, advertised autonomy of up to 59 minutes, and ability to operate in negative temperatures allow for missions in varied conditions.
For professionals in land management, security, rescue, and inspection, it offers the ability to gather accurate information without having to physically access each observed area.
1K Thermal Camera: more details in the image
Night vision and zoom: observe without getting closer
LiDAR, radar, and vision: better perception of the environment
Autonomy, IP55 protection, and transmission: ready for extended missions

For what uses?
Observation and management of the territory
The Matrice 5T can assist professionals in observing large areas, examining hard-to-reach zones, and monitoring certain natural environments.
The thermal and optical combination allows for multiple readings of the same environment.
Research and location
During an authorized search mission, thermal imaging can help locate heat sources, while optical cameras allow for a more precise examination of the area in question.
Thermal detection remains dependent on terrain conditions, vegetation, distance, and temperature variations.
Surveillance and inspection
The zoom, laser rangefinder, and high-resolution cameras allow for observing buildings, equipment, or infrastructure from an appropriate aerial position.
Low light missions
The thermal camera, night vision, and piloting assistance sensors enable operations to be prepared in challenging lighting conditions, subject to necessary authorizations and procedures.
Important: the possibilities for using the drone, particularly at night or in the context of hunting activities, depend on the applicable regulations. Owning a thermal drone does not automatically permit all uses.

DJI Matrice 5 Battery - To add to your order
Attention: the flight battery is not included in the basic package of the DJI Matrice 5T.
To get your drone up and running as soon as you receive it, remember to order the DJI Matrice 5 smart battery, specially designed for this range. It allows for up to 59 minutes of announced flight time under DJI test conditions.
Having an extra battery is also useful for chaining missions in the field while minimizing interruptions related to recharging.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
DJI claims up to 59 minutes of flight in controlled conditions, with no wind or additional load. Actual flight time depends on factors such as weather, flight mode, and accessories used.
The drone has an IP55 rating, suitable for certain exposures to dust and water splashes. It is not completely waterproof: weather conditions and manufacturer recommendations must be followed.
It features cameras and detection systems designed to operate in low light. However, night flights are still subject to applicable air regulations and permissions.
No. A compatible DJI Matrice 5 battery must be ordered separately.
No. LiDAR, radar, and cameras assist in obstacle detection, but their performance depends on the environment, speed, and characteristics of the obstacles. The pilot remains responsible for flight safety.
The Matrice 5T has technical capabilities suitable for certain wildlife observation and land management missions. However, use must comply with aviation regulations, wildlife protection rules, and restrictions specific to the activity being conducted.
The drone has a native thermal camera of 1,280 × 1,024 pixels. A UHR mode allows for producing images of 2,560 × 2,048 pixels through image processing.
