DJI has launched the DJI Zenmuse H30 and Zenmuse H30T hybrid payloads for its Matrice 300 and Matrice 350 enterprise drones. The new payloads build on the H20 series with a number of improvements across the board.

Continue reading as we explore what's new and improved on the H30 series broken down into each sensor.

We’ve released a comparison guide that puts these two payloads head-to-head. It covers everything you need to know, from a full breakdown of features and thermal improvements to the powerful new use cases it unlocks across mining, utilities, emergency services, and more.

What's improved?

General improvements

DJI's new Zenmuse H30 series is now IP54 rated to be inline with the IP rating of the Matrice 350's. Like the Zenmuse L2, the H30 series is compatible with the Matrice 350 and only compatible with the Matrice 300 when using the DJI RC Plus.

DJI has also increased the controllable motion range of the gimbal itself and has managed to reduce the jitter translated into photos and videos.

Wide camera improvements

H30 series' wide camera has more than doubled its megapixel count at 48MP with a larger 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor. The wide camera also features the night vision mode previously exclusive to the H20N with an increased 25fps, higher ISO value of up to 409,600, and an improved night vision effect. H.265 and VBR are also supported.
