The M30 starts at $10,000, same as the M300 RTK, and both it and the $14,000 M30T come with a totally redesigned RC Plus controller with a larger 7-inch screen (up from 5.5-inch) and IP54 protection for use in heavy rain while retaining the swappable external battery.

Most prominently, American Robotics got greenlit for some that have minimal human involvement last January. One of those “jurisdictions” is the USA, though the FAA has been taking baby steps towards letting automated drone-in-a-box missions proceed on a case-by-case or company-by-company basis. The DJI Dock must be used in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and its advanced functions cannot yet be used in jurisdictions where a human pilot must stay within the drone’s line of sight or maintain physical control of the drone by holding a controller. The DJI Dock has its own built-in weather station, surveillance cameras, antennas, 25-minute automatic fast battery charging, and can support drone mission up to 7 kilometers away, though do note the fine print there: The maximum 41-minute flight time means the M30 doesn’t have quite the endurance of DJI’s longest-lasting drones, but DJI’s taking advantage of its size in another way - it’s finally revealed its own robotic drone-in-a-box solution for completely autonomous missions, one small enough to work on the back of a pickup truck. While the 8.2-pound drone still has the tubular arms common to industrial UAVs, the design’s a lot closer to the Mavic that helped DJI dominate the foldable drone category.

The M30 is also more portable than practically any of the company’s other industrial drones - small enough to fit into a large backpack or small rolling case - and with self-locking arms that snap into place and can be folded with the push of a button instead of having to screw and unscrew each one like on previous Matrice models. That’s not a higher water rating, technically. The M30 has an IP55 rating for dust and water protection, compared to the IP45 rating of the M300 RTK. But DJI’s weather sealing and confidence rating have improved - the new DJI M30 Enterprise, announced today, is explicitly ready for “heavy rain, high winds, high altitudes, even in icy and snowy conditions from -20° C to 50° C,” according to the company. Until today, DJI’s state-of-the-art was the M300 RTK, a drone that took a barrage of water in marketing videos but where the fine print (PDF) says that snow and heavy rain are not OK for flying. You wouldn’t want to fly most drones in a serious downpour, even most industrial-grade ones from DJI.
