DJI Enterprise Teases Powerful Spotlight and Speaker Payloads for Matrice 350 RTK

DJI Enterprise has announced a product launch event scheduled for April 16 at 8 a.m. EDT, where the drone manufacturer is expected to unveil new spotlight and speaker payloads for its commercial drone lineup. The event’s taglines, “Light Up The Night” and “Reach Loud and Clear,” strongly suggest enhanced illumination and communication capabilities designed for professional applications.

New Accessories for Commercial Operations

The teaser points to what will likely be a powerful spotlight payload capable of illuminating dark environments during nighttime operations—not night vision technology as some might assume. This capability would be particularly valuable for Search and Rescue teams, law enforcement, and industrial inspections conducted after sunset.

The “Reach Loud and Clear” tagline indicates a speaker payload that would enable operators to broadcast messages or communicate with ground personnel from the air, expanding the drone’s utility in emergency management scenarios.

These new accessories appear designed specifically for the Matrice 350 RTK platform, DJI’s flagship enterprise drone introduced in May 2023. With its 55-minute flight time and 2.7 kg payload capacity, the Matrice 350 RTK provides an ideal foundation for these specialized tools.

Why These Payloads Matter

For commercial and public safety drone operators, the ability to effectively operate at night and communicate from the air represents a significant operational advantage. Current nighttime drone operations often face limitations in visibility and communication clarity that these payloads could potentially address.

The versatile mounting options of the Matrice 350 RTK, which supports both single and dual payload configurations, means operators could potentially use both the spotlight and speaker simultaneously for coordinated emergency response.

DroneXL’s Take

DJI continues to expand the capabilities of its enterprise platforms by addressing specific operational challenges faced by professional users. These purpose-built accessories could significantly enhance the versatility of an already capable drone system.

While the teaser provides limited details, the focus on illumination rather than camera-based night vision suggests DJI is prioritizing practical solutions that extend operational capabilities without compromising flight performance or requiring specialized pilot training.
