In this video I provide an in-depth look at the DJI M30T. The M30T has been billed as the "ultimate public safety drone" but it comes at a cost. I'll discuss the capabilities and features of this drone in an effort to help you decide if these features are worth the cost.

I'm not even into drones but watching your videos are very informative & relaxing. Makes me want to go out a buy drone for my farm so I can watch my cattles and fence lines
That's awesome! Thanks for the reply and for watching.
You’d be absolutely amazed at how much you will use a drone on a farm or any piece of property.
My family owns a small 20acre farm in South Jersey.
I left my Mavic-2 Zoom and original “Smart Controller” at the farm a few years ago.
It was used almost daily just for “situational awareness”. (I come from the fire service world, forgive the terminology LOL)
I just left my Mavic-3 at the farm for the family to play with for a few weeks.
The already decided on buying one just based on the flight time and excellent zoom camera capabilities.
I TRIED to convince them to go for the M30T, but it’s just too pricey for now.
Possibly the Mavic-3t ? But the M30T still ranks at the top. The weather resistant capability is another huge plus.
Definitely try a drone!
That is a great idea, and the M30T is a great option.
What do you think about these American politicians trying to ban these awesome Dji products. I think M30T is bit over kill for farming but maybe Mini 3 or Mavic 3T Enterprise with thermo.
Everything a video should be, Sir - great knowledge of your product, operational skills honed from years of experience to match, and a perfectly scripted format! Thank you for sharing this - I have Subscribed!!
Thank you so much for the compliment! I usually work on these videos over the course of a few weeks, it's good to know that people are finding value in my work. Much appreciated.
The camera capabilities of this drone still blow me away.
Yes I agree, it was hard to imagine until I actually flew it.
Really glad to have found your channel. Thanks for the great information.
Thank you for watching!
My agency is having me obtain my part 107. Thank you for helping me understand this drone and its capabilities.
One of, if not the best, videos that gives excellent details on a DJI drone and features. Very informative. Well done sir.
Thanks I really appreciate the comment.
great job, your efforts are greatly appreciated - thank you
Thanks, I do appreciate the feedback.
Congratulations on your subscribers and great informative video!
Thanks so much!
Very educational. Thankyou for your review. Very helpful. Thankyou from Australia.
So awesome to know that you enjoyed the video from the other side of the planet!
first time here in your channel. great to be here man :) keep it uppppp
this is exactly what I was looking for, a review of a drone by a first responder like myself. thank you! this video is very through
Great video! Thank you for your work and great information.
Thanks for watching, I am glad you found it useful.
Excellent video! Our department is also purchasing a couple of these in the coming year. Very excited to get my hands on it and use it for search and rescue!
Thank you. When you are ready I would be happy to assist you. I am an authorized dealer. info@titletowndrones.com
Wow! It is a very nice drone. Thank you for sharing sir.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
Great review/showcase!
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. I'll be posting another video soon featuring a searchlight/speaker combo.
Great Job Bill, very impressive! I think I'm now leaning to the DJI 3T the, M30T is a bit much for a hobbyist.
I just received a Mavic 3 Enterprise Thermal I am working on a video review. If you subscribe to this channel you'll get the notification when I post it. Thanks for tuning into my channel !
this is awesome thanks for the video
Thanks for saying so
Ended up on TH-cam here a month or so back and found this video and it convinced me I needed one of these so I got with Bill and he made it happen! Super great guy & great service! Now I’m back on here watching this video trying to figure this thing out! Lol
Thank you!
I just like saying your name over and over. It just kinda flows. Bill bongle bill bongle bill bongle. Thank you the honest and thorough reviews. Cheers
You make me laugh :). Thanks for watching!
Our department is getting one of these in a few weeks, and I am looking forward to everything this UAS is capable of. Thank you for the information!
Thanks for the feedback, I am glad you found the information useful.
That's weird that they're buying DJI. Since they can leak data to China/Russia if to use official software
Including giving all your departments data over to an adversarial country? Cool thanks
Fucking bots
@@feels6233 Welcome.😀
Great video Bill!
Thanks Rachel!
Great information thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
Really interesting and thorough video thanks
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
Love to get this one day but I just got my DJI Mavic3 classic loving it
Yes the Mavic 3 classic is a solid performer if you don't need the zoom feature.
great Work....like how you tell the story....
Thank you. I put some work into these videos, its nice to be appreciated.
I work in a newly built mining area. studied drones last year. I don't know the company's acquisition price, but believe two tools areas that can reduce my team by 4 people. In addition, the safety and comfort of working under adverse weather conditions are greatly improved. I think the cost of recycling is too easy，Even want to open a professional drone studio.
Dude you're telling me that in six months you did a thousand subscribers man that's really good
Thanks to my loyal viewers! I am grateful and humbled.
Well done video you should do all there videos for DJI.
You are very kind, thanks for the feedback.
While very out of price range for consumers, it’s incredible how much they have included for the price range. DJI continues to push their tech way above any other company!
Yes I hear what you are saying. This drone is targeting the commercial and public safety market. The capabilities and prices have come down significantly over the last few years. Just a few years ago this type of tech wasn't even available. Less capable units were selling close to $30K so this one is a great deal by comparison.
It’s easy when an entire government funds you
You should check out the recent price reduction. It just dropped over $4k. Contact me at info@titletowndrones.com if you would like an updated quote.
Hi, thanks for the video. It's helping through my new purchase. What a machine!!
Question. How do I get to the infrared image super resolution screen. Is there something else I have to download?
Thank you
It is an option buried in the camera menu. You'll find it if you switch to the thermal camera and then access the thermal camera menu from the right side of the display.
Świetny sprzęt będę oglądać z zaciekawieniem ten kanał . Pozdrowienia z Polski
Dziękuję za komentarz, doceniam! Pozdrowienia z USA.
Beautiful and very capable drone. It is amazing how much capability gets updated year after year. Is there any type of a winch system available for delivery of small packages with the M30T? How about a tethering solution?
I am not aware of a payload delivery system for the M30.
I need to get one ASAP
Hi from England the price range is the only thing for me but what it can do is amazing my latest purchase is mavic 3 pro. Your demos are really good does the drone justice 👍
Thanks Paul, I appreciate that. The M30T is a top pick for a lot of my customers. Autel is coming out with the Evo Max 4T that has many of the capabilities at a lower price. I am getting a few of these in and will evaluate the Evo Max 4T when I receive it. -Bill
Hi thanks for letting me know will keep a eye out for your next one thanks 👍
Brilliant drone. I was wondering if an exterior mic could be installed on this drone? If so, I would expect this drone would come in handy for search and rescue in areas that experienced an earthquake or tornado. Thank you. I am interested in purchasing a couple for both our local police department and fire department. I live in Maine and well, that says it all.
I am not aware of an external mic. I think the problem would be wind noise from the propellers. It's a good question and you aren't the first one who has brought it up. I think they would need some sort of parabolic system to isolate the source from ambient noise. If I can help you with your drone purchase or if you need an official quote, I'd love to help. Contact me at info@titletowndrones.com Thanks.
Great video. I just bought the M30T. just flew it for the first time today and started watching a few videos. My Thermal screen look horrible, Is this because i don't have Super Mode turned on? Also, any was to zoom the thermal screen? Thanks very much.
Some amazing tech. A lot of capability for the price. A few years ago this would have been a lot more. Any insight if DJI will offer a VTOL UAV? Endurance time is the only draw back here.
I’m familiar with the DJI Phantom, and Mavic series…so no where near their enterprise lines.
The M30 does have sustained flight times close to 40 minutes. The hot swappable batteries can get you back in the air in less than 1 minute. I am unaware of DJI offering a VTOL. Right now the only viable VTOL is the Autel Dragonfish but they are much more expensive.
@@BillBongleThanks Bill. I have been looking at CUAV line ups. It’s a Chinese company….flight times are around 100-120 minutes.
Ret LEO. Should be taking my Part 107 soon. Looking into inspections and volunteering with the drone for SAR for our local SO.
Good luck with your Part 107 ! Great that you are willing to volunteer your time and resources for your community.
Wowww. Really incredible. I wish I had the opportunity to fly these things. When it tracks, can it move and follow the subject or does it only stay in place and track? Thanks for sharing.
it stays in a single spot and tracks the moving "thing" like an apache tracks a tank with laser guided missiles
It will follow the object with the camera in a stationary position. If the pilot inputs upward right stick the drone will follow the object.
I got the Mini 3 pro. Loving it. 4k 60, active track, rth, and so many other capabilities. But nothing close to a surveying drone like 30 series.
That Mini 3 is a terrific drone though. M30 is a working man's drone.
@@BillBongle Exactly. Perfect way to describe it.
Sure would like to see a comparison of the Autel Evo Max 4T. Trying to decide between these 2
our department is finally on board with trying to upgrade our drone program and are looking at purchasing this one in the next year for our SWAT team and a couple mavik 3s for patrol use
I would be happy to help you. If you would like an official quote contact me at info@titletowndrones.com
Reasonable upgrade for the Air 2S, fair to say.
Yes quite an upgrade lol.
Would love to get one of these to help the areas fd in search and rescue operations
Its is an effective tool for search and rescue.
Great Presentation. DJI should consider hiring him for product PR. [a better job than corporate source]
That is a very kind compliment, thank you. I try hard, just have to work on putting out more videos!
Hey CAPT, Is there a way to invert the flight controls? I want to know before buying this. I need the Y axis inverted so when I descend I push the stick up and ascend I push the stick down. If this is not possible, could you recommend a drone, withe the same capabilities, for me to purchase? Appreciate it.
SOLD! Great Viedo!
Thanks for the comment. If you are ever interested in this equipment feel free to contact me.
Car tracking is amazing with this drone! 👌
Definitely! I found it easy to use.
Hello can the infrared camera pick up water leaks on roofs im looking to buy one im retired and a disable vet im looking to fly around at the harbor or any where on trips would this be a a drone to do recreation to im looking for one good one that will last along time
Hi . Where can I get one of those truck sliding tables? Love it
Its called a "Cargo Glide". Actually you can get them from Amazon but you can check to see if you have a local dealer that could install it. I highly recommend it. I can access my entire cargo area and when it pulls out I have a great work surface. Here's a link to the one I got: amzn.to/3IkTxfQ
How many kilometers or meters is the flight distance?
Love the M30t but it says in the manual you're not allowed to fly it in the snow or rain and thats really affecting my business because of the insurance
I watched this video and many more on the DJI MT30T and today I received mine. Nothing could have convey the magnificence of the Matrice 30T, the solidity and how its exquisite manufacture, the genius of its design. I have four consumer drone and love each one of them, but none compare with the M30T. Definitely ENTERPRISE drones are in a class for themselves, they truly are very different birds! Thank you very much for giving us a heads up on perhaps the best drone DJI has ever build, as far as I'm concerned and, in answer to your question, yes, it's worth every penny and even more!
I like the M30T but is it the right purchase for bike cycling touring tracking?
Hi Lloyd, I sent you a quote and recommendations for a drone that I think is better suited for this. The new DJI Air 3.
I have a question what type of quality video does it shoot? Cause on top of all the commercial stuff that I do I also do real estate and I’m looking to see if it can be used for all I do like search and rescue. Inspection. Roofing inspection and construction
Hi Brian, while you could shoot real estate video this drone wouldn't be my first pick. The camera is decent but the optical camera sensor size is smaller than less expensive models like the DJI Air 2s and the Autel Evo Lite+. The M30 is louder than those consumer models. These prosumer models have features that give you better control over exposure and color reproduction.
Apparently the RC Plus will be compatible with the M300 towards the end of 2022. If that is true do you think DJI will add compatibility for the Mavic 3 Enterprise as well?
Mavic 3 Enterprise and thermal already have specific controllers
I'll check with my contacts and see if I can find out. Good question.
dream drone...tho I do have the ent adv....how long does it take to get the satellites up?
It acquires satellite pretty quick, I'd say less that a mini in most cases.
The removable antennae are not in case they become damaged. It's to connect to an external antenna.
I plan to start putting a donation request letter together this week to present to local businesses in hopes of obtaining the funding for one of these for our volunteer fire department.
I have worked with many agencies that were able to purchase the equipment with grant funding. I discovered that local donors are the most common source of funding. I suggest reaching out to local community foundations and area businesses. They like supporting local efforts. Place emphasis on like saving uses in your proposal such as searching for missing persons. Good luck with your efforts!
I usually boot my remote up first so that its ready to connect the second the drone is on.
Could I somehow program GPS coordinates or a specific address and have the Drone launch and travel straight to that location??
I am working on a video for this topic. Basically you open up a waypoint mission and type the coordinates into one of the waypoints.
will this unit allow video/photo recording and will either reflect zoom setting
Yes, the recordings will reflect the view of the camera at the time you triggered the recording. It will record up to 4 files simultaneously, a separate file from each of the sensors.
Question about your map with your location on it, mine stays blank. Do I need to do something to get the live map??
You need an internet, data connection to the drone to retrieve a live map. This can be accomplished in the field by linking to a WiFi hotspot or tether to your smart phone. It is possible to download maps (cache) ahead of time from a WiFi connection.
Good night Sr. I have a question. I need a Drone for use on segurity, i have a lot off área for cover With a Drone. I dont needed for inspections, i need for a police department . Wish verter Mavic 3 Termal or M30T. Thanks for your answer...
The Mavic 3 Enterprise Thermal is a good starting point, the M30T has many additional capabilities and features. One thing to consider is what are the operating conditions? If there is a need to operate in rain or wet weather, you would need the M30T, the Mavic 3E is not water resistant. Contact me at info@titletowndrones.com if you would like further details.
Hi is there a remote controller on the market that's Compatible with the dji fpv drone that comes with a screen
If you're referring to the DJI FPV drone, the included remote can be tethered to an iPad and you could view the video that way. I have seen aftermarket 3d printed tablet mounting solutions for the iPad mini.
Yes, super TOP la vidéo,
J'aurais beaucoup de questions a te poser.
Si tu viens en FRANCE 🙂
Christobal de La Turballe.
Thank you for the comment! Viva la France!
Any ideas if this integrates with ATAK through UASTool or otherwise? The ATAK discord was less than helpful.
I am sorry o don't know. The Remote controller runs a version of Android if that helps.
Was that Duluth, MN in the footage?
Green Bay, WI
I was thinking about getting a drone for when I’m trucking and need to park into tight spaces at night. Any suggestions for some drones with high frame rate and great low light quality?
Drones with larger camera sensors tend to have better low light performance. I'd suggest the DJI Mavic Air 2s with a1 inch sensor. The DJI Mini 3 may be sufficient if there is ambient lighting and its smaller.
Hello sir my question is there a dji drone with with both lidar and thermal
Currently the only DJI drones that have both capabilities are the M300 and M350. These flagship drones can carry multiple payloads including the H20T thermal/RGB and zoom camera and the L1 or L2 Lidar model.
This drone is not on the US black list?
Where did you get the launch pad?
Pad is made by Hoodman. Available form Amazon using this link: amzn.to/3Ble6UI
What's the effective distance the drone can be from the pilot with a clear line of sight? Ballpark
A couple miles if there's not a bunch of interference around. Results vary on the environment. A waiver is required to fly beyond line of sight.
@@BillBongle Thank you
So you mentioned you were a dealer. Could you point me in the right direction for buying one either as a start up business. Or for public safety use?
Please feel free to contact me at info@titletowndrones..com . I have them in stock ready to ship. You can also visit my website at titletowndrones.com
what is it payload capacity?
about 1 lb
whats the different night modes starting at 17:18?
The camera switches to a low light mode which is black and white but moire sensitive in low light.
Will the tracking feature operate if the drone is moving?
Yes, If you apply up right stick the drone will fly in the direction of the object being tracked. If not it will stay stationary and try to keep the camera focussed on the object until it moves out of sight,
please tell me where can by it !!
Sure, just contact me at info@titletowndrones.com
Is there such a thing of a class to learn how to use these as a beginner
Do you mean online or in person? There are lots of online courses. I offer on online course for remote pilot test prep. In person, yes but it depends if such a class is available in your area. I have conducted training locally in NE Wisconsin. I used to travel across the country to do these classes but after the pandemic I stopped and just do it locally now. Try reaching out to dealers or local organizations to see if you can get some instruction.
@@BillBongle thank you
can you suggest me a drone with payload capacity of max 7 kgs/15lbs? answer me as soon as possible please!
I suggest you contact this company. I saw them at the Commercial UAS Expo in Las Vegas. www.inspiredflight.com . Lots of heavy lifters.
Thank you!
@@BillBongle
Can you read license plates at night? Excellent video
You still need some light to see a license plate ate night.
Hello I’m actually in the process of training nine pilots getting a part 107‘s stuff ready and getting the flight time taken care of in the process. We are looking at two different drones the Mavic three enterprise thermal is probably the first one we’re going to get and then we’re going to get the, M 30 T later on if when our budget allows it like to get some information from pricing that you said that you actually sell these and hopefully we can work together if we can get prices that are cheaper or comparable to my name is Bert French work for my local fire department
Hello Bert, thanks for the comment. Yes I am a dealer and would be happy to help you. I specialize in working with public safety agencies. If you would like additional details or an official quote, contact me at info@titletowndrones.com . My website is : www.titletowndrones.com
Can it track a lost person with the thermal camera?
The tracking feature will only work with RGB camera, not the thermal camera.
@@BillBongle Thank you for your kind comment. Happy New Year wishes from Finland!
It’s dope how law enforcement can use these
Trust me they already using drones…..at county fairs down town event and drug areas they see everything.
We're can I get this drone to buy
Contact me at info@titletowndrones.com with your details. I’ll send you a quote.
I want one now!lol
Why did America sanction DJI ?
I want to purchase one can we work on that?
Of course! Just email me at info@titletowndrones.com and I'll reply with contact details. We can set up a phone call if you wish and I'll work with you to create a custom quote. I have the M30T in stock. Thanks! -Bill
How long did it take for you to get your ROI with this drone?
For me, a couple of months. It really depends on your plan to monetize it. Inspections can pay well. Roofs, solar panels, or other structures. SAR work is often donated time to help folks in crisis. Same with searching for lost pets, I never have the heart to charge anyone who is dealing with a crisis so I just donate my time.
Sure show a lot of the props. Amazing drone. Zoom is awesome. too rich for blood.
I searched cost on the m30t and I'm finding from DJI's own sight that the most expensive version is $10,587. That is quite a bit less expensive than the cost that you stated on your video.
Yes, I have updated the price on my website. there was a $4k price drop this summer. titletowndrones.com/dji-matrice-30-series/
@@BillBongle Didn't know that. Thanks
Do you think the specs of the soon to come Autel EVO Max 4T is Autel's version to the DJI M30T? It's much cheaper than the M30T.
The Evo Max4T will have a camera that is similar in capability but slightly less zoom capability. The Max will use a single battery instead of the redundant batteries. There are some significant differences that I will highlight in a future video.
@@BillBongle it says it hot swaps but I don't get how if it's one battery.
@@brianthomason6475 There is either a capacitor or internal battery. You only have 30 seconds to do the hot swap they say.
@@BillBongle ah ok.
Draganfly is undoubtedly the best drone company!
It is providing support in ukraine by supplying ukrainian people with medicines, insulin and much more.
with this it is increasing its visibility and brand awareness.
has an experienced team and unique technology, currently very underestimated based on its potential!
Is there a third party drop system yet?
Not that I am aware of. The payload capability is not very much.
@@BillBongle thanks for such a quick reply. We plan to expand our UAV lineup the m30T will be added to our m210 still in service.
@@reyesmontemayor6998 Give me a shout when you are ready, -Bill Email: info@titletowndrones.com.
cooooooooooool
way cool
Hi can you tell me i am also ex Police Officer and want to know how good is this drone for searching suspects that hides in the bush? And how fast can you change the batteries so you wont loose the suspects? What advice will you give?
This drone is very capable of locating persons or animals in the outdoor environment. I've located wildlife such as squirrels and birds so a larger heat signature of a person is even more detectable. Battery swaps can be done in about 30 seconds without powering down the drone.
@@BillBongle THANK YOU BILL FOR YOUR INFO
The camera is impressive but, that much money is insane!
Good info thanks for sharing Subbed too
Thank you, I appreciate that. I have some new videos coming out soon.
These seem inexpensive enough compared to capabilities provided to the public safety industry. Do you believe there is a reasonable market for individuals like yourself to provide this service on a contractor basis to PS?
I know of several people who have purchased these drones for their own use but then offer their services to public safety. To be honest there is not real money in contracting to public safety. Most everyone I know donates their time.
You can volunteer to rescue people if they need it, now that you have such a capable drone.
