Matrice 4TD
The Matrice 4TD is DJI's thermal and zoom enterprise drone, built for inspection, public safety, and emergency response workflows. It is a compact, all-weather platform with the same imaging stack used by first responders, utility inspectors, and public safety agencies across North America.
The aircraft carries wide, medium telephoto, telephoto, and thermal cameras, plus a laser range finder, which lets a single operator document a scene, spot hot spots, zoom in on details, and measure distances without swapping payloads. Flight time reaches 47 minutes, and wind resistance tops out at 26.8 mph.
Like the rest of the Matrice 4 series, the 4TD is rated IP55 for dust and rain resistance and operates from -4 F to 122 F. The 4TD pairs with DJI Dock 3 for automated 24/7 remote operations and supports onboard relay for extended transmission range.
What matters most
For buyers, the biggest value is how the 4TD integrates multiple tools in one flight:
Thermal imaging finds people, fires, and electrical faults that visible cameras miss.
Zoom telephoto lets inspectors read serial numbers, check bolts, and verify equipment condition from safe standoff distances.
All-weather rating means rain, dust, and cold temperatures don't cancel the mission.
Dock 3 compatibility means the same aircraft can be deployed for on-demand work or 24/7 automated patrols.
Compact airframe means faster setup and smaller footprint than traditional Matrice drones.
Core mission fit
The Matrice 4TD is a strong fit for:
Fire and law enforcement response.
Search and rescue.
Power line and substation inspection.
Pipeline and right-of-way patrols.
Roof, bridge, and structure inspection.
Dock 3 pairing for automated remote operations.
Key specs
Max flight time: 47 minutes.
Wind resistance: 26.8 mph.
Cameras: wide, medium telephoto, telephoto, thermal, laser range finder.
Ingress protection: IP55.
Operating temperature: -4 F to 122 F.

Included in the box
The standard kit includes the Matrice 4TD aircraft, battery, propellers, carrying case, cables, and tools. Remote controller sold separately or add the Matrice 4TD+ for the factory RC Plus 2 Enterprise kit.
Best way to think about it
The Matrice 4TD is the workhorse thermal drone for public safety and inspection teams that need rugged, multi-camera capability in a compact airframe. It is the right choice when the mission calls for finding, measuring, and documenting across a wide range of conditions, and when Dock 3 pairing for automated operations is part of the long-term roadmap.
