Frequently asked questions – FAQ

Which DJI equipment is the Zenmuse H30 compatible with?

The Zenmuse H30 camera is compatible with DJI Matrice 350 RTK and Matrice 300 RTK series drones, via the standard DJI pod. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with these platforms to meet the needs of industrial, public safety, inspection and research missions.

What’s the difference between the Zenmuse H30 and the H30T?

The main difference lies in the presence of a thermal sensor:

  • Zenmuse H30: multisensory camera without thermal imaging.
  • Zenmuse H30T: adds a high-resolution radiometric thermal camera, ideal for night-time operations, thermal inspections or emergency response.

The H30T is therefore the most complete version, offering enhanced versatility for mission-critical applications.
