The All New DJI Zenmuse H30 Series
The DJI Zenmuse H30 Series
DJI has released their newest set of payloads; the H30 and the H30T. These all new hybrid sensor payloads build off of the pervious H20 series to deliver new upgrades for incrased performance.
The H30 series payloads are comprised of a wide angle camera, zoom camera, laser range fidner, NIR auxiliary light, and an IP rating of 54 to make it more weather resistant than the H20 series. The H30T also contains an upgraded thermal sensor when compared to the H20T.
The H30 series payloads are compatible with the DJI Matrice 300 and the DJI Matrice 350 when using the DJI RC Plus. Keep in mind that the all new DJI Zenmuse H30 series payloads are packeged together with a Matrice 350 RTK and are not sold separately.
The DJI Zenmuse H30 Series Key Improvements
The DJI Zenmuse H30T Highlights
The H30T is a significant improvement over the H20T in more ways than one. Thats not to say that the H20T isn't a great payload, but the H30T has nearly double the specifications across each sensor.
- The resolution has improved by 4x at 1280 x 1024 when the zoom ratio is at 2X or above.
- There are 10 color palettes to choose from for coloring your thermal results. These palettes consist of: White Hot/Black Hot/Lava/Tint/Iron Red/Rainbow1 /Rainbow 2/Medical/Arctic/Fulgurite.
- When viewing thermal, you can choose between three different modes. These modes consist of Low-Gain mode, High-Gain mode, and Live View mode. For inspection, high gain is preferred. For fire, low gain is preferred, and for public safety, live view is preferred.
- Split view display at 1920 x 1080 resolution. In split view you can display thermal and RGB side-by-side.
- When zooming in using the zoom camera, you can link the thermal side-by-side view to the zoom of the zoom camera. As you zoom in, the thermal display will zoom in as well to match what the zoom camera is seeing, but keep in mind this is a digital zoom, so the further you zoom in the blurrier the thermal will get.
- With DJI Thermal Analysis Tool 3.0, you can analyze thermal data captured by the H30T. Keep in mind though, that data collected in high res view will not have thermal readings saved to the data you capture and can not be analyzed.
The DJI Zenmuse H30 Series Smart Features
Like the H20 series, the H30 series offers smart features for efficient work flows. These smart features include:
- AI Spot checking to improve precision and accuracy when taking photos
- Smart track using the lazer range finder in order to highlight and lock onto a moving subject
- Electronic Dehazing to enhance footage quality and clarity
- Foreground stabalization when recording in order to help increase accuracy
