Newly leaked images suggest DJI is developing a Matrice 4T drone that appears to be based on the DJI Mavic 3 platform rather than an entirely new design. The images, shared by historically-reliable DJI leaker OsitaLV, show what looks like a modified DJI Mavic 3 body equipped with new accessories, RTK and payload capabilities.

Design Choices Spark Industry Discussion

The apparent decision to base the Matrice 4T on the Mavic 3 platform has raised questions about DJI’s product strategy, particularly given the existing Mavic 3 Enterprise line. The leaked images reveal significant modifications to the base platform, including what appears to be enhanced sensor arrays and specialized mounting points for professional payloads.

Notable Omissions in Technical Specifications

Perhaps most surprisingly, the leaked design appears to lack LiDAR capabilities for obstacle sensing and avoidance – a feature that’s already present in DJI’s more affordable Air 3S model. This omission is particularly noteworthy given the Matrice line’s focus on professional inspection work and first responder applications, where advanced obstacle avoidance capabilities are crucial for mission success.

Strategic Implications for DJI’s Enterprise Portfolio

If the DJI Rumors from OsitaLV are correct, the development of a Matrice 4T based on the Mavic 3 platform raises questions about DJI’s broader enterprise strategy. With the anticipated launch of the DJI Mavic 4 on the horizon, we wonder whether basing the Matrice 4T on an older platform might limit its long-term viability in the professional drone market. The potential overlap between the DJI Matrice 4T and the existing DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise series could also signal a forthcoming reorganization of DJI’s professional drone lineup.

The drone industry will be watching closely to see how DJI positions this potential addition to its enterprise portfolio, particularly in relation to existing products and emerging market demands for advanced inspection and first responder capabilities.
