DJI Matrice 400 Third Gimbal Connector – Maximize Payload Flexibility and Performance

The DJI Matrice 400 Third Gimbal Connector enables your drone to support an additional downward payload, expanding the aircraft’s capacity from dual to triple payload configurations. This accessory unlocks a new dimension of operational versatility for the Matrice 400 Series, allowing for more advanced data collection in a single mission.

Whether you need to mount a heavy payload such as a LiDAR sensor, spotlight, or third-party sensor, this connector offers unmatched flexibility while maintaining aircraft stability and safety. It’s ideal for enterprise professionals working in public safety, surveying, energy, telecommunications, and other data-intensive industries.

Key Features

• Support for a Third, Heavier Gimbal Payload
  Designed specifically for the bottom port of the DJI Matrice 400, the Third Gimbal Connector supports payloads up to 6 kg. It enables operators to carry high-performance sensors like LiDAR, large zoom cameras, or specialized industrial payloads alongside other mounted gimbals.

• Expanded Multi-Sensor Missions
  With this connector, users can operate two downward gimbals in combination with a third heavier payload simultaneously—allowing for comprehensive data capture such as thermal + zoom + LiDAR or visual + spotlight + speaker configurations.

• Heavy-Duty Construction
  Built for professional and rugged use, the connector ensures stable mounting even in turbulent or high-speed flight conditions. The industrial-grade build complements the IP55 rating of the Matrice 400, supporting reliable use in harsh environments.

• Seamless Integration
  The Third Gimbal Connector integrates directly with the Matrice 400’s E-Port V2 interface. It works in harmony with DJI gimbals and many third-party payloads, giving professionals the ability to mix and match tools as needed for specific mission types.

• Reliable Centered Mounting
  Mounted in the center-bottom position of the drone, the third gimbal maintains balance and optimized center of gravity for safer flight, especially with heavy payloads. This configuration is critical for accurate data collection during vertical mapping or inspections.

Ideal Applications

1. Advanced Aerial Surveying
Support full-frame photogrammetry cameras like DJI Zenmuse P1 or third-party LiDAR systems for precision mapping. The third connector allows for payload combinations that meet high-grade topographic and volumetric survey standards.

2. Critical Infrastructure Inspection
Mount thermal, zoom, and spotlight payloads together to simultaneously inspect, illuminate, and analyze power lines, substations, or offshore facilities without repeated flights.

3. Search and Rescue / Emergency Response
Combine real-time thermal detection, loudspeaker broadcast, and visual zoom surveillance tools to carry out missions in disaster zones or during crowd control events.

4. Oil & Gas and Utilities Monitoring
Run multiple payloads to cover flare stack inspections, leak detection, and asset condition monitoring across large industrial sites using a single deployment.
