Description

DJI Matrice 400 Third Gimbal Connector: Enterprise Payload Expansion

The DJI Matrice 400 Third Gimbal Connector is a heavy-duty integration component designed to maximize the multi-sensor capabilities of the M400 platform. By utilizing the E3 or E4 ports of the E-Port V2, this connector allows operators to mount an additional downward-facing payload to the underside of the aircraft. It provides the structural and electronic interface necessary for high-capacity sensors, featuring built-in gyroscopic stabilization to maintain data integrity. This expansion is essential for complex industrial missions requiring simultaneous data capture from multiple specialized sensors, such as combined LiDAR, thermal, and high-resolution RGB mapping.

DJI Matrice 400 Third Gimbal Connector core features and advantages

  • Triple payload capacity: enables the simultaneous operation of three downward-facing stabilized sensors.
  • High-weight support: accommodates quick-release payloads up to 6.6 lbs (3 kg) for rapid swaps.
  • Secure fastening: supports heavy-duty payloads up to 13.2 lbs (6 kg) via screw-lock mounting.
  • Advanced stabilization: integrated gyroscopic systems keep the third payload level during flight.
  • Port integration: connects directly to the E3 or E4 ports of the E-Port V2 system.
  • Industrial protection: maintains environmental sealing based on the IP rating of the attached payload.
  • Precision hardware: includes four M3 screws for a rigid and vibration-resistant connection.
  • Versatile applications: supports search and rescue, complex surveying, and multi-angle industrial inspections.
  • Seamless ecosystem: designed for full electronic compatibility with DJI Enterprise flight control software.

The DJI Matrice 400 Third Gimbal Connector is the definitive solution for operators who require maximum sensor density in a single flight. It eliminates the need for multiple passes by allowing for a fully customized, three-sensor downward configuration. This component ensures that even the heaviest specialized sensors remain secure and stabilized throughout intensive field operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

More questions? Speak with an Expert.

Can I mount an upward-facing gimbal using this connector?

The DJI Matrice 400 airframe design does not support any upward-facing gimbal configurations. This connector is strictly designed for mounting a third payload to the underside of the aircraft. It allows for advanced downward-facing sensor arrays but cannot be used on the top of the drone.

What is the difference between the quick-release and screw-lock capacities?

The quick-release mechanism is designed for convenience and supports payloads up to 6.6 lbs (3 kg). For heavier or more permanent sensor installations, the screw-lock fastening method must be used. This more rigid connection increases the maximum supported payload capacity to 13.2 lbs (6 kg).

Does this connector require a specific firmware version?

To ensure full integration and stabilization of the third gimbal, your Matrice 400 and E-Port V2 must be running the latest enterprise firmware. This allows the flight controller to recognize the additional payload and provide the necessary power and data communication. Always update your system before installing new hardware.

Should the drone be powered on during the installation process?

You must ensure the DJI Matrice 400 is completely powered off before installing or removing the third gimbal connector. Connecting hardware while the E-Port is active can lead to electrical shorts or communication errors within the E-Port V2 system. Safety protocols require a full power-down for all hardware changes.

Is the connector itself waterproof?

The waterproof rating of the third gimbal connector assembly is dependent on the payload you have attached. To maintain the industrial integrity of your M400, ensure that all mounted sensors and their connections meet the required IP ratings for your environment.
