DJI O3 Enterprise Transmission

The DJI M350 RTK features an upgraded OcuSync 3 Enterprise Transmission system that offers triple-channel 1080p video transmission with a maximum range of 20 kilometres. The system uses four built-in antennas to ensure stable connections, even in complex environments. The propellers have also been upgraded to a non-conductive material to eliminate any interference with the antenna signal. This allows for smooth video streaming and seamless switching between input feeds.

O3 Enterprise is a powerful video transmission protocol that is designed to work in both urban and remote locales. The system uses a variety of technologies to minimise interference, including adaptive frequency hopping, which automatically selects the clearest frequencies for transmission. This ensures that you can always rely on a stable connection, no matter where you are flying.

With O3 Enterprise, you can fly the M350 RTK with confidence, knowing that you will always have a clear and stable video feed. This makes it the ideal drone for a variety of missions, including inspection, mapping, and surveying.

Backwards Compatibility

The M350 RTK is a versatile drone platform that is compatible with a wide range of payloads, including LiDAR, night vision, photogrammetry, and more. It can be configured with one upward-facing and two downward-facing payloads, and supports a maximum total payload weight of 2.7 KG.

The M350 RTK is also compatible with all M300 payloads, including the H20N, H20T, L1, and P1. This means that you can use your existing M300 payloads with the M350 RTK, or you can purchase new payloads that are specifically designed for the M350 RTK.

The DJI Payload SDK further expands the capabilities of the M350 RTK by allowing integration with third-party payloads. This means that you can use the M350 RTK with a wider range of payloads, tailored for specific applications.
