The case comes with enough space to fit 6 TB55 batteries, 2 sets of propellers, one controller, one charger and charger hub, a CrystalSky tablet or Apple iPad and a manual.
5.What is IP43 protection rating, and in what scenarios can the Matrice 200 series be protected under this rating?IP43 protection rating means that the Matrice 200 series can be protected from objects greater than 1 millimeter, and from water spray less than 60 degrees vertically. The IP43 protection rating can protect the Matrice 200 series when used in adverse environments with dust particles or light showers.
Note: The protection rating may reduce or fail in case of folded-frame arms, exposed ports as a result of open cover, loose weatherproof shell top plugs, and if the aircraft is broken.
6.Can I use the Matrice 200 series on rainy days? And what are some factors to consider when flying in rainy weather?Yes you can, the IP43 protection rating allows the Matrice 200 series to maintain stable flight in light rain weather conditions (less than 10mm/h rainfall). Considering the foldable design and various ports of the Matrice 200 series, keep in mind of the following:
1. DO NOT fold the frame arms in the rain. Make sure the port covers and Micro SD card slot cover are properly attached.
2. DO NOT turn the aircraft upside down. The angle of inclination of the aircraft body and the ground should not exceed ±60° when flying the aircraft on rainy days.
3. DO NOT use an external GPS module during flight.
4. Make sure the battery surfaces and battery compartment surfaces are dry before inserting the batteries.
5. Use TB50-M200 or TB55 Intelligent Flight Batteries. The batteries encased in the Inspire 2 are not waterproof.
6. Only the aircraft will be protected. The cameras are not covered by the protection rating.
7.Will I be covered if my aircraft incurs water damage?No, product warranty does not cover water damage.
8.Does my M200 Series drone to be regularly checked when flying in sandy environments?When flying in sandy and similar environments, pilots should regularly check their drone after flying to extend its lifetime as the closed-shell is not completely protected against fine particles. Specifically, pilots should check the arm closing mechanism, and motors for loose particles that could potentially harm the aircrafts’ internals.
9.Can I carry the M200 batteries on a commercial airplane?You are likely to encounter issues when carrying TB55 batteries as they exceed allotted size for many airlines. Before planning a project, we suggest checking with your airline in advance. When transporting batteries please discharge them to below 30% maximum capacity for maximum safety.
10.What happens if one battery fails?The M200 series continuously checks battery status and will notify you through the PILOT app if a battery malfunctions. In this case, please land the aircraft immediately.
11.For the M210 RTK model, is there any extra setup required for this unit?Since the RTK unit is built into the drone, you will simply have to fold out the arms to get the built-in unit fully operational and turn on the ground control unit.
APPLICATIONS1.I’m a filmmaker, is this the best option for me?Although the M200 Series’ water resistant build, long flight time and compatible cameras might be attractive to filmmakers, DJI recommends professional filmmakers use the Inspire 2 due to its available SSD slot, transforming design for an unobstructed view and CineCore image processing system.
2.I’m a power line, telecom tower inspector and worry about interference affecting the safety of my inspection, which M200 Series model and payload will help me operate more safely?For operators that expect to experience electrical or signal interference during flight we suggest using the M210 RTK model and/or the Zenmuse Z30 zoom camera for optimal safety. The built-in RTK unit on the M210 RTK model enables the drone to hover with centimeter-level accuracy due to the improved GPS data, making slight interferences to the transmission system less potentially dangerous. The Zenmuse Z30 allows inspectors to fly further away from their subject, which in effect diminishes the chances of signal interference.
PAYLOADS1.What cameras are compatible with the M200 series?The M200 series of drones are compatible with DJI’s Zenmuse X4S, X5S, XT, XT2, X7 and Z30 cameras.
2.What dual gimbal configurations are supported by the M210 models?Please refer to the following table for an explanation of how to properly mount your dual gimbal configuration. Left and right is determined from the perspective of looking directly at the drone from the front.
Left gimbal port | Right gimbal port |
XT, XT2 | X4S, X7 |
| X5S |
