What's new

DJI RC Plus

M350 comes with DJI's flagship RC Plus remote controller. RC Plus is a large improvement over the older Smart Controller that shipped with the M300. RC Plus features a 7"-inch display, support for dual operator mode, uses DJI's WB37 batteries, and supports O3 Enterprise transmission.

New TB-65 batteries

The Matrice 350 comes with a new battery, TB-65 with support for hot swapping. The new battery is smaller than the TB-60 but manages to maintain the same 55-minute flight time as the Matrice 300. Each TB-65 battery is rated for 400 cycles and is 5880mAh, 263.2Wh at 44.76V, making it slightly smaller than the Matrice 300's batteries.

The BS-65 battery station has been updated to support a number of charging modes, 50%, 90%, 100%, and allows all the batteries to be mounted via the DJI Pilot app when it is connected to the DJI RC Plus controller.

Safety improvements

DJI has also made a number of safety improvements. The arm locks can now detect when they haven't been engaged correctly, displaying an error in DJI Pilot 2 app and preventing the M350 from taking off. The built-in FPV camera is now capable of night vision and has been updated to a 1080p camera. New high altitude low noise propellers have also been released alongside the M350.
