Ferntech Brings DJI's Most Advanced Commercial Drone to New Zealand
DJI, the world leader in civilian drones and aerial imaging technology, unveiled its most advanced commercial drone platform, the Matrice 300 RTK (M300 RTK), and the Zenmuse H20 Series – a hybrid, multi-sensor camera. DJI engineered this all-in-one, high-tech solution to expand possibilities and exploit areas of work never explored before, for precise aerial inspections and data collection missions.
Ferntech Commercial are excited to bring this technology to New Zealand. The DJI Matrice 300 RTK is an exceptional drone offering up to 55 minutes of flight time, advanced AI capabilities, 6 Directional Sensing & Positioning and more, the DJI Matrice 300 RTK sets a whole new standard by combining intelligence with high-performance and unrivalled reliability.
DJI Matrice 300 RTK
More versatile than ever before, the M300 RTK can support up to 3 payloads simultaneously and has a maximum payload capability of up to 2.7 kg.
The M300 RTK and Zenmuse H20 Series solution offers users two intelligent ways to collect data:
Smart Pin & Track
Intelligent functions that enhance the synchronization of aerial intelligence in coordinated missions. It includes PinPoint, a function that allows users to mark the subject of interest and instantly share the precise location data to a second operator or if necessary to ground teams via DJI FlightHub; and Smart Track, which allows users to automatically detect and track a moving object, even at extreme distances, while synchronising the subject’s dynamic location in real-time.
Aviation-Grade Situational Awareness
Inspired by today’s modern aircraft, the M300 RTK features a Primary Flight Display (PFD) that merges real-time flight and navigation data into one integrated display. Besides standard telemetry data like altitude and speed, the M300 RTK PFD provides obstacle data for visualising nearby obstacles during flight, enabling pilots to adjust flight trajectory if needed. These enhancements allow users to keep track of the aircraft while further enhancing the pilot’s situational awareness.
More Power at Your Fingertips
Exclusive to the M300 RTK, is the Advanced Dual Operator Mode a multi-pilot control protocols that enable the execution of missions with enhanced safety, reliability and flexibility. The M300 RTK, when controlled by two pilots, gives each pilot equal access to gain flight control priority, the transfer of which is displayed by a series of icons on the DJI Smart Controller Enterprise. Now, if one pilot becomes compromised or their controller loses battery or connection, the other pilot gains full control over the M300 RTK and its payloads. Additionally, when training new pilots, the teacher/main pilot can safely take over flight control – if and whenever necessary.

Applications
The DJI Matrice 300 RTK is an excellent tool for specific tasks such as Firefighting, where the use of a radiometric thermal camera can provide accurate intelligence real-time when fighting fires and saving lives without endangering personnel. Its features include real-time data on surface temperature with a simple tap in the remote controller’s LCD screen. This capability makes it a vital tool in real-life scenarios when fighting a blaze and lives are on the line.
In Search and Rescue, where time is critical, the Matrice 300 RTK can act quickly to locate missing people and help to create a better plan for a rescue mission. Built to withstand New Zealand’s rugged terrain and weather the DJI Matrice 300 RTK and the Zenmuse H20 series camera are protected against the intrusion of splashing water (rain of 100mm/24h) from any direction and the aircraft itself is protected against any solids objects 1mm in size. The new platform is designed for quick deployment where the propellers and payload can fit in its case for portability. These designs are significant on a rescue mission making it an essential tool for life-saving situations.
For Powerline Inspections the DJI Matrice 300 RTK allows inspectors to perform smart inspections to find problems with powerlines from a safe distance. The pinpoint and live mission recording features make it easier to inspect every element of the powerlines in a much faster and more efficient way.
The Matrice 300 RTK is also a valuable tool for performing vital surveillance and assisting with Law enforcement. With the night scene mode on the Zenmuse H20 and the obstacle avoidance technology of the Matrice 300 operators can use this drone to quietly survey a scene while avoiding detection.
