DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise: A Leap Beyond the Mavic 3 Enterprise

DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise: Why It’s Time to Retire the Mavic 3 Enterprise

Introduction

Drone technology moves fast and in the world of professional operations, yesterday’s tools quickly become a bottleneck. The DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise (M4E) is a clear example of this, setting a new standard for speed, precision, and intelligence in aerial data capture. At GeoAerospace, we’ve put the M4E to the test in real-world missions across Ireland, from high-voltage powerline inspections to archaeological site mapping. The result? It outperforms the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise (M3E) in every measurable way.

DJI Matrice 4 Introduction

The Opportunity

While the Mavic 3 Enterprise was a capable platform in its time, it struggles to meet the demands of today’s complex, high-accuracy operations. Surveyors, engineers, and emergency responders need faster mission turnaround, greater reliability in poor conditions, and smarter onboard tools - areas where the M3E simply can’t keep up.

DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise Capability

  • Faster Data Capture: The M4E’s 5-directional oblique imaging and 0.5-second shooting interval deliver mapping 30% faster than the M3E’s 3-direction capture. On an archaeological survey, this meant a same-day 3D model delivery instead of a two-day workflow.

  • Precision in GPS-Challenged Areas: With built-in dual-band RTK and GNSS + Vision Fusion, the M4E holds cm-level accuracy even without clear satellite visibility. In narrow quarry surveys, we eliminated the need for multiple ground control points that the M3E required.

  • All-Weather, Low-Light Capability: Dehazing algorithms, higher performance sensors, and weather sealing let the M4E capture usable data in fog, low light, and light rain - conditions that grounded our M3E fleet in past projects.

  • AI-Driven Insights: Onboard AI and a laser rangefinder allowed our engineers to detect and tag tower defects live during a powerline inspection — cutting days from the decision-making process.
