The DJI Matrice 30 has the capability of functioning in temperatures between from -4 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. In 2016, when DJI unveiled in front of the world its Mavic drone, the event came about as a landmark in the world of tiny flying machines. The drone that came with capabilities that allowed itself to fold itself had been copied by many drone makers across the world. And then later on, after two years to be precise, DJI brought to the fore a second model that held aloft enterprise capabilities. This model, christened Mavic 2, came with the addition of a modular mount that could be used to deploy a spotlight or a speaker that could help it fly in less than ideal conditions. However, instead of turning out to be an enterprise model, the Mavic 2 had a slant towards being a consumer drone, and remained so. Matrice 30 is DJI’s third And now, after a long gap, DJI has  unveiled  a new purpose-built  drone  for enterprise applications. Called Matrice 30, it is so different from its p...
