The Complete Survey System, One Box

This is the full turnkey mapping setup. The DJI Matrice 4E aircraft, the D-RTK 3 base station, survey pole and tripod, four total flight batteries, and a 1-year DJI Terra license. You unbox it, set up your base station, and start producing survey-grade deliverables. No hunting down accessories, no compatibility guesswork.

What's In The Bundle

• DJI Matrice 4E with RC Plus 2 controller and accessories needed to fly (1-battery combo)
• 3 additional Matrice 4 Series Intelligent Flight Batteries (4 total, roughly 3 hours of mapping per charge cycle)
• DJI D-RTK 3 Base Station for centimeter-accurate corrections independent of cellular coverage
• RTK 3 Tripod & Survey Pole Kit for proper base station setup in the field
• 1-Year DJI Terra License included at no extra cost, a $1,680 value

DJI Terra Included at No Extra Cost (a $1,680 Value)

This bundle ships with a 1-year DJI Terra license included. That's the software that turns your flight data into orthomosaics, 3D models, and survey deliverables, and it normally runs $1,680 on its own. You're getting it at no additional charge.

One thing to know upfront. Terra has to be activated before your bundle ships, and that process adds time. Bundles with Terra included deliver in 10 to 14 business days instead of our standard 5 to 7. We'd rather tell you now than surprise you after checkout.

Bundle or Standalone M4E?

The right choice depends on what you already have:

• Choose this bundle if you're building a survey operation from scratch, work in rural corridors or remote terrain without reliable cellular coverage, or want everything sourced and matched in one order.
• Choose the standalone M4E kit if you already own an RTK base station, run network RTK (NTRIP) in areas with solid coverage, or already have spare Matrice 4 Series batteries on hand.

Not sure which fits your operation? Call us at (863) 224-6923. We'll talk through your current setup before you commit.

Why the D-RTK 3 Base Station Matters

Network RTK works great until you're on a job site with no cellular signal. The D-RTK 3 broadcasts centimeter-accurate corrections directly to the aircraft, independent of any network. For rural corridor mapping, remote terrain, mine sites, and anywhere coverage is unreliable, the base station is the difference between consistent survey-grade accuracy and hoping your NTRIP connection holds.

The included tripod and survey pole kit means the base station gets set up properly over a known point, not balanced on a tailgate.

Why the Matrice 4E for Mapping

Mechanical Shutter

The single most important feature on the M4E for photogrammetry work is the mechanical shutter on the wide-angle camera. Electronic shutters expose each row of the sensor sequentially rather than capturing the entire frame simultaneously. At mapping speeds of 15 to 21 m/s, that sequential exposure creates geometric distortion across the image. Straight lines appear curved, buildings lean, and the orthomosaic requires significant correction work or produces measurable errors.

The M4E's mechanical shutter exposes all pixels simultaneously regardless of aircraft speed. The output is geometrically clean at full mapping speed, every frame, without post-processing compensation.

4/3-Inch CMOS Sensor

The wide-angle camera uses a 4/3-inch CMOS sensor, significantly larger than the 1/1.3-inch sensor in the M4T or sensors in consumer-grade mapping drones. A larger sensor collects more light per pixel, produces less noise at a given ISO, and resolves finer ground detail at the same altitude. You can fly higher and still hit ground sample distances that meet survey accuracy requirements, which means more coverage per battery.

5-Directional Oblique Capture in One Flight

The M4E's gimbal rotates intelligently during a single automated pass and captures nadir, forward-facing, backward-facing, left, and right oblique frames in one flight. Complete datasets for 3D building models, façade documentation, and terrain reconstruction without a second mobilization.

Factory Calibration Into Terra

Each M4E wide-angle camera is individually factory-calibrated, and those calibration parameters flow directly into the included DJI Terra license for reconstruction accuracy that exceeds generic photogrammetry pipelines. Residual distortion is calibrated to less than two pixels across the frame. The camera and the software in this bundle are built to work together.

Survey and Mapping Applications

• Topographic mapping and land surveys for engineering design, grading plans, contour mapping, and subdivision layout
• Construction site documentation with pre-construction base surveys, weekly progress orthomosaics, earthwork volumes, and final as-built documentation
• Stockpile volume surveys for quarry, aggregate, mining, and construction operations
• Corridor mapping for road, pipeline, and utility projects spanning multi-kilometer lengths
• 3D building and urban modeling for architectural documentation, BIM input data, and heritage preservation
• Environmental and wetland surveys for vegetation mapping, erosion monitoring, and flood plain topography
