Fantastic review Dave!

Nice job on the video... Great info!

Very much informative

I can’t imagine on what level drones gonna be in 10 years from now, I believe it will be really amazing technology, cameras, batteries, capabilities, it will be just amazing and maybe limited for public purchases because it will be to capable

Excellent Dave.

That useful introduction of M30, thanks

Thanks! Great contents!😊

Use the M300 at work, it’s awesome, makes me want my own dji for personal projects

This in an excellent video of a really outstanding drone. If it sounds like a lot of money, and it is, I can truly say that's worth every penny. After I bought one, I simply could not believe the quality, the workmanship and the design. DJI thought out every detail and really hit a home run with this drone. I'm fortunate to live in Florida and can connect to FPRN at absolutely no charge. That provides me with RTK, which means I could do mapping, just as if had had a base station. Aside from mapping, the advantage of RTK is a more stable platform, not having to rely solely on the compass, and giving you 1-2 cm accuracy when landing or getting coordinates. This drone has all the system redundancy of a manned aircraft. The M300 is also a great bird but costs 3-4 times as much, which puts it in the not-affordable category, it's huge, heavy, more expensive to run, and is a pain to transport. Thanks to Steel City Drones for all the time and efforts spent in putting this great video together.

Beautiful video

Amazing video. i've been flying the mavic pro for 7 years, just recently passed my part 107 and looking to get a M30 T. thanks

Dave, great video as always. Question: is the M30T able to do solar thermal inspections over solar farms? I heard it has a (software) limitation that makes the range of the camera +/- 2°, needing a +/- 0.5° range at the most. Any comments?

@@JCDiaz-Skytech It depends on your requirements are as far as how far you have to have to have the drone away from it and to what level of detail you have. The Cell tower inspection comparison we included in this video here 20:12 was done to give you an idea of the differences between the 2 aircraft to help you with these types of decisions.

Dave, any new model drone will need to be made to comply with remote id from the manufacturer starting in Sept of this year. And in June, there is no final specification?? That seems ridiculous, right? I suspect DJI has a very good idea whether or not the capability for complying with remote id is if fact ready to go. Maybe they can't yet say "absolute" "positively", but they basically know. Thank you for the comprehensive video.

Actually it couldn't be more further apart than any Phantom. This is water resistive, with outstanding zoom capability, awesome thermal, and 30 minutes of flight time. This has all Matrice 300 features like Smart track, and grid mode with Pilot 2 functionality. This has no landing gear for no drag and flies incredibly smooth and can handle up to 33 mph winds. No P5 was going to or will be able to do that.

Does it have smart follow feature? That is following the location of the controller. For example, if i control it from a moving car, but i want to be able to look around me from the sky.

Smart track will follow any update that you select it to pick up. Objects should show up as green circles and as you select it the camera will stay locked in on it. It won't follow the object but the camera will stay locked in on it.

Hoorah Dave Sir, I am interested to learn more from your reviews. I am a independent operator, interested in mapping, inspection, ag , FLIR, 30-T, also interested in Volunteer SAR Ops- Man Tracking K-9 assisted Team, Horseback Man Tracking and Forensic Data Collection. I am not a LEO, but I do work with Agencies.

This Drone could be the best creation of DJI, and the best Drone ever made! Even I believe in some how it’s beside the Matrice 300! However this Drone M30 series has 2 big downsides; 1- You can’t pay $20,000( Australian price of DJI M30T basic kit with DJI care 1 year) in a Drone where the main camera, hardly can turned left and right, I mean when you turned left and right, you can see the arms, propellers, and stuffs of the Drone, like in the whole frame!!! The main camera should have been able to turned 360 degrees, or at the list 180 degrees in a clean view, only looking for the subject in the frame, specially when it has been “Built/ Made” for first safety responders, like Fire fighters, Police and others!! 2- The main camera should be able to swap for other payload, like P1/L1 and more, specially because it is very compact and great drone with its size and portability! However about swapping the cameras/ payloads, if they haven’t thought about that before realising, at the list they should have made 4 different versions… - First version M30/ M30T, -Second version M30 P1 -Third version M30 L1 -Forth version the Dock one, as it already has been made( but this one it’s specific for companies and stuffs). If the DJI Enterprise Team had thinking about that, it would have been selling just like water bottles!! Specially for many trades out there, and many different industries would benefit from that choice to buy, different needs but in the same Drone, even more special because of those many features like as deploy time, Walter-proof, portability and on! *The best RC ever made!

The best option we have found is an option called DroneSense that works very well, very secure, very consistent. You don't have to buy equipment and its a monthly charge. It also does a lot more than just streaming and handles Pilot management and maintenance as well.

Does the cell tower interfere with the control of the drone, if working?

@SteelCityDrones

2 жыл бұрын

Cell towers that have high power dish emitters can interfer with any drone's signal regardless of make or model and there's nothing that you can do except set the come home altitude higher than the cell tower so it will come home if you lose the signal. The issue is the intensity of the signal and nothing to do with magnetic-elecromagnetic issues. SO RTK does not help in that situation.

How could DJI make such a backward step by using a 128 GB card (maximum) from what the Mavic 3 Cine has?

@SteelCityDrones

Жыл бұрын

Two different drones with 2 different purposes and requirements. Matrice 30 does not do Pro res or 10 bit filming. The M30 is for public safety not film makers. The Cine unit for the most part will use the internal SSD drive because the file sizes are huge. With the M30, the camera's file sizes are significantly smaller thus not needing more than 128 GB. IN fact during our filming and testing of the M30 for this video we never even filled up a 64 gig card once.
