DJI M400 with H30T and S1 spotlight: Precision drone inspections at night

See how the DJI M400, H30T payload, and S1 spotlight enable detailed infrastructure inspection in complete darkness - with real-world footage from Network Rail.

This video demonstrates how the DJI M400, equipped with the DJI Zenmuse H30T payload and DJI Zenmuse S1 spotlight, can enhance critical infrastructure inspections in low-light conditions.

The H30T’s advanced night vision capabilities – including its NIR auxiliary light – reveal the railway track in complete darkness. The S1 then provides powerful illumination, ensuring the track is clearly visible.

With the scene lit, the H30T’s zoom allows operators to capture fine details with exceptional clarity.

The footage comes courtesy of Network Rail asset engineer Ken Durling.

He said: “This setup gives us vital extra capability, especially during the dark winter months when daylight hours are short and inspections can’t wait.

"The M400, paired with the H30T and S1 spotlight, turns night into day, allowing us to safely capture critical detail at any time.”

The H30T and S1 are also compatible with the DJI M350 and M300 RTK (with DJI RC Plus).
