    Built for more than one kind of unmanned platform.

    From compact enterprise drones to miniature robots, M3X brings connectivity, live video and edge computing to the device.

    Industrial drones

    Long-range 5G control and live video

    Can be installed on DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise, Matrice 4, M30 / M350 / M400 and related platforms for long-distance 5G command-and-control and real-time video. During inspection, edge algorithms can be deployed on the terminal to help find faults quickly, pause a route and capture additional images of the fault.

    Robots and other platforms

    Remote control and visual assistance

    Can also be used with PX4-compatible quadrotors, multi-rotors, fixed-wing and VTOL aircraft, as well as unmanned boats, unmanned vehicles and miniature robots, for remote control, visual obstacle avoidance or target recognition. When used with other payloads, confirm compatibility with the bracket, interfaces and power supply.
