Introduction
The DJI Matrice 30 (M30) is widely recognized as a compact, reliable, and all-in-one enterprise drone. Unlike the larger Matrice 300 RTK, the M30 has a fixed payload system with integrated wide, zoom, and thermal sensors (in the M30T model). While this makes it quick to deploy, some operators may ask: “Can I expand the payload options?”
The answer is yes—through compatible accessories and third-party add-ons, the Matrice 30 can be customized to fit specific mission needs.

For organizations seeking an all-in-one drone with the option for practical add-ons, the DJI M30 strikes the perfect balance between portability, reliability, and customization.
