or even a RED Epic.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"section-title\">AN INDUSTRIAL WORK HORSE<\/h2>\n<p class=\"section-title\">The <strong>M600 is designed&nbsp;to be modified<\/strong> for a wide range of commercial &amp; industrial uses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"section-title\">The Matrice 600 payload bay can be hold&nbsp;almost any set of cameras and sensors (up to 6 kg) that you need&nbsp;to fly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"section-title\">For aerial mapping and&nbsp;surveying, a 6 kg payload&nbsp;means you can carry multiple imaging&nbsp;sensors &#8211; IR, NIR, FLIR or even LIDAR.<\/p>\n<p class=\"section-title\">On the software side, DJI&#8217;s two SDKs and onboard API make it easy for your&nbsp;developers to deploy&nbsp;custom&nbsp;mobile apps and to script&nbsp;advanced flight controls for almost any requirement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"section-title\">Like&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/bestdroneforthejob.com\/drone-reviews\/3dr-solo-quadcopter\/\">3DRobotics&#8217; Solo 2.0,<\/a><\/strong> the&nbsp;M600&#8217;s flexibility and programmability make it easy&nbsp;for professional drone operators to develop unique,&nbsp;reliable and inexpensive&nbsp;UAV&nbsp;solutions&nbsp;for many vertical applications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"section-title\">That said, the DJI&nbsp;Matrice 600 stands apart from the 3DR Solo and other &#8220;prosumer&#8221; drones by its&nbsp;far greater&nbsp;payload, a 5km range, broadcast-quality live video streaming and a&nbsp;more stable and redundant 6-rotor configuration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"section-title\">This is a serious commercial multi-rotor UAV&nbsp;that can be used in many ways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"section-title\">The M600 is&nbsp;DJI&#8217;s most powerful commercial flying platform to-date and offers many advancements over DJI&#8217;s popular&nbsp;S900 and S1000 &#8216;Spreading Wings&#8217; workhorses. The&nbsp;S1000+ is&nbsp;really just an aerial platform with&nbsp;no integrated electronic devices on board, whereas the M600 is a fully-tested and integrated aerial camera system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"section-title\">Priced at $4599 (without camera or gimbal), the M600 is&nbsp;less expensive and offers a far more refined flight and camera control&nbsp;system than almost any comparable multi-rotor offered by a&nbsp;commercial&nbsp;drone manufacturer today.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"section-title\">READY TO FLY<\/h2>\n<div class=\"section-body\">\n<p>One of the most time-consuming parts of setting up a new commercial flying platform is dialing-in&nbsp;the flight &amp; imaging&nbsp;controls and the hardware to work seamlessly, reliably, and without fail.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t an issue w\/ the M600 &#8211; everything related to flight &amp; camera control&nbsp;on the M600 has been rigorously tested and tweaked.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s because, unlike&nbsp;most other commercial drones, <strong>the DJI Matrice 600 is not an untested kit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is&nbsp;an honest-to-goodness <strong>ready-to-fly commercial flying&nbsp;platform<\/strong> that comes complete with a&nbsp;flight controller, video transmission system, propulsion system, flexible cargo bays, an onboard redundant-GPS autopilot, a dedicated remote controller, a great mobile app and rechargeable batteries.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s even got internet connectivity: you can stream video straight from the camera to YouTube!<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, the new <strong>A3 Flight Controller<\/strong> automatically adjusts flight parameters based on your latest payload configuration.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"section-title\">FULLY PROGRAMMABLE WITH TWO NEW&nbsp;SDKs<\/h2>\n<p>DJI offers robust <strong>Software Development Kits<\/strong> (SDKs) for developers to customize&nbsp;the M600, M100, Inspire 1 and Phantom series for commercial use.<\/p>\n<p>There are two SDKs offered right now: one for building mobile apps, and&nbsp;another for interacting with the&nbsp;Onboard API.<\/p>\n<h3>1.
