General Overview
Q: What is the Zenmuse H30T?
The Zenmuse H30T is a flagship multi-sensor payload designed for the DJI Matrice 300 RTK and Matrice 350 RTK drones. It integrates five major modules: a wide-angle camera, a zoom camera, an infrared thermal camera, a laser rangefinder, and a near-infrared (NIR) auxiliary light, providing comprehensive imaging capabilities for various industrial applications.
Q: What are the key differences between the H30 and H30T models?
The primary distinction is the inclusion of an infrared thermal camera in the H30T, enhancing its ability to detect heat sources and conduct thermal inspections. The H30 model lacks this thermal imaging capability.

Laser Rangefinder
Q: What is the measurement range of the laser rangefinder?
The laser rangefinder measures distances from 3 to 3000 meters, with a pinpoint accuracy of 20 meters at a distance of 1 kilometre after manoeuvring the aircraft for approximately 10 seconds.
Q: What are the limitations of the laser rangefinder?
The rangefinder may have reduced effectiveness in adverse weather conditions such as rain, fog, haze, or snow, and may struggle with specular reflective or total reflective surfaces.
Night Scene Mode & NIR Auxiliary Light
Q: What is the Night Scene mode?
Night Scene mode enhances low-light imaging by adjusting camera settings for better visibility in dark environments. It is supported on both the zoom and wide-angle cameras.
Q: How does the NIR Auxiliary Light function?
The NIR Auxiliary Light provides near-infrared illumination to improve visibility in low-light conditions. It is particularly useful for covert operations and search-and-rescue missions. The light is supported only when using the zoom camera and is activated after the aircraft has taken off.
Maintenance & Activation
Q: How do I activate the Zenmuse H30T?
Activation is required before first use. Mount the payload on the aircraft, power on the aircraft and remote controller, and follow the on-screen instructions in the DJI Pilot 2 app to complete the activation process. An internet connection is necessary for activation.
Q: What maintenance precautions should I take?
Avoid Direct Sunlight: Do not place the product under direct sunlight or in areas with poor ventilation.
Protect from Heat Sources: Keep the product away from heat sources such as heaters.
Storage: Detach the gimbal during transportation or storage to prevent damage to the damper balls.
