DJI Raises Ante in Industrial Space with Addition of Zoom Camera, Zenmuse Z30

DJI has announced the Zenmuse Z30, an aerial zoom camera that can be easily snapped into DJI’s Matrice airframes. The high end imaging capability that the Z30 brings to the table will have applicability to a number of commercial markets including traffic, construction, inspections, and disaster relief such as search and rescue and damage assessment.

Designed to seamlessly integrate with DJI’s Matrice airframes, Zenmuse Z30 offers 30x optical zoom and 6x digital zoom, and can automatically adjust its focal length to give an enlarged view when pointing the camera at the object to be inspected.

Paul Xu, the company’s director of enterprise solutions, said: “Users can conduct millimeter-level inspections without the need to fly close, ensuring high flight safety while increasing speed and efficiency,” emphasizing that the camera unlocks new possibilities for industrial applications.
