DJI Zenmuse Z30 Survey and Inspection Camera/Gimbal

Compatible with: DJI Matrice 100, 200, 600.

Aerial platforms are rapidly becoming vital tools for businesses looking to more efficiently collect information crucial to their operations. As the first integrated aerial camera with an optical zoom up to 30x and digital up to 6x, the Zenmuse Z30 offers unparalleled image data capture. Enterprises are now able to capture the information they require from a greater range, making image data collection significantly faster and eliminates risk of harm to both personnel and equipment.

Designed to seamlessly integrate with DJI’s Matrice series of airframes, the Zenmuse Z30 works right out of the box and gives access to the intelligent features DJI is known for.

The Zenmuse Z30 is the most powerful integrated aerial zoom camera on the market with 30x optical and 6x digital zoom for a total magnification up to 180x. Whether you are inspecting cell towers or wind turbines, it enables you to get a detailed look at structures, wires, modules and components to detect damage.

As a result of letting you conduct inspections from a distance without the need to fly close, not only is speed and efficiency of your operations increased but risk of collision is obviated.

Cell tower inspection

Instead of hoisting up to inspect cell towers, an aerial platform equipped with the Zenmuse Z30 allows you to quickly and efficiently conduct your inspection from afar.

While flying the Zenmuse Z30 equipped airframe, an on-site pilot is able to livestream their findings to engineers located anywhere in the world. With live communication, both engineers and pilots can work towards identifying any concerns for fastest possible inspection.

With the extended range, the Zenmuse Z30 equipped airframe is able to operate well beyond the threat range of cell towers’ electromagnetic fields, ensuring high flight safety.

Take advantage of DJI GO’s Intelligent Flight Modes like Point of Interest to easily set up your system to circle a cell tower at a constant radius while keeping it locked in the frame. Once set, focus on directing the camera and controlling zoom level to capture image data or perform a real-time inspection.

Safer and quicker cell tower inspections with the Zenmuse Z30. Eliminate the need for dangerous manual inspection and the risk of crashing into assets by inspecting from a distance. Stream your footage to a central hub to reduce boots on the ground and ensure no extra trips are needed.

Wind turbine inspection

Detect fine damages from afar while avoiding damage to personnel and equipment. Set up your aircraft to circle your object of inspection with Point of Interest for a full 360° view of your asset.

When performing turbine inspections, the challenge is to get close enough to the structure to be able to see the sometimes millimeter-sized damages that threaten to reduce the performance of the propeller.

With regular wide angle cameras, you may need to get as close as one meter from the turbine to be able to make out the details, posing a very real risk of crashing into the turbine, damaging both it and the platform.

By using the Zenmuse Z30, you are able to keep the distance from the turbine and still see the condition of the most vital parts of the turbine in incredible detail. As sudden gusts of wind in these areas may affect the aircraft’s navigation, being able to inspect from a distance gives pilots a larger margin of error and helps them avoid collisions.

With advanced tracking features, the difficulty of simultaneously flying the aircraft and operating the camera is eliminated as the turbine is automatically kept centered in the frame. With Point of Interest, you can even set up the aircraft to circle the turbine at a constant radius while continuously seeing it in your live HD view.

Firefighting

First responders can now quickly get an overview of a scene, and use the 30x zoom to drill down for accurate and specific intelligence to base their operations on.

Firefighters depend on having accurate information to base their operations on. By using an airframe equipped with the Zenmuse Z30, rescue teams are able to significantly increase speed of operation and the quality of data collected.

At its standard focal length, the Z30’s wide angle provides an overview of a scene. When a detailed view is needed, TapZoom lets operators instantly zoom in to drill down on an area of interest.

The Z30’s powerful 30x optical zoom enable operators to pick out details more quickly, thereby improving both speed of our data collection and the fidelity of that data.

A high-powered zoom means that any movement in the system is magnified, so therefore stability is of utmost importance. The Z30 incorporates DJI’s leading gimbal technology for stabilization within 0.01° and the same precision for controls. This enables long-range inspection that is always high in fidelity.

Adapting the Z30 to your existing Matrice-based aerial system is easy thanks to its integrated design. Simply slide the camera in the mount and you’re ready for take-off.

The Zenmuse Z30 is designed for use with DJI Lightbridge 2, breaking technical limits to increase range up to 3.1 miles (5km). The integrated controller and intelligent algorithms set a new standard for wireless HD image transmission by lowering latency and increasing image fidelity.
