DJI Matrice 4T
The professional thermal-imaging drone we fly on every search. A 640×512 thermal camera that sees body heat through brush, timber, and darkness — plus a 48 MP zoom camera and an 1,800-meter laser rangefinder.

Not every drone can find a warm body in the woods. This one was built for it — here's what it brings to a search.
640×512 thermal sensor, sensitive to within 50 millikelvin — it picks out a deer or a dog's body heat against cold ground, day or night.
Long flight time means we can grid a large property in a single outing without constant battery swaps.
A telephoto lens up to 112× hybrid zoom — once we spot something warm, we zoom in to confirm before we send you in.
Measures distance out to 1,800 meters, so we can hand you an exact bearing and range — not "somewhere over there."
Obstacle avoidance in every direction — safer flying through timber and over uneven terrain.
Reliable, long-range video transmission so we keep a clear live view the whole flight.

A normal camera can't find a downed deer in brush or a lost dog in the dark. Thermal sees heat — and every warm body stands out against the cold ground. That's the entire difference between a blind search and a targeted one.
