Full-Frame Photogrammetry, Built for Survey-Grade Precision

The DJI Zenmuse P1 combines a 45MP full-frame sensor, interchangeable DL lenses, and RTK precision to deliver centimeter-accurate orthomosaics and 3D models in a single flight. Designed for land surveyors, civil engineers, and mapping professionals, it captures more ground in less time without sacrificing accuracy.

Full-Frame Detail Across Any Survey

Capture distortion-free imagery across open terrain, urban corridors, and complex topography with the P1's 45MP full-frame CMOS sensor. Three interchangeable DL prime lenses (24mm, 35mm, and 50mm f/2.8) let you match field of view to mission requirements. A global mechanical shutter eliminates rolling shutter distortion for clean, reliable orthomosaics every time.

Centimeter Accuracy, Without the GCPs

With RTK positioning and TimeSync 2.0, the P1 synchronizes every exposure to the GNSS feed at microsecond precision, delivering 3 cm horizontal and 5 cm vertical accuracy without deploying ground control points across the site. Reduce setup time, field crew requirements, and post-processing overhead on every project.

More Ground Covered, Fewer Flights

The P1 captures a new frame every 0.7 seconds and covers up to 3 km² in a single flight at 100m AGL with the 24mm lens. Smart Oblique Capture collects nadir and multi-angle imagery in one pass, producing complete 3D reconstructions that would otherwise require multiple sorties. More data, faster turnaround, lower mission cost.

Zenmuse P1 User Manual

FAQs

What is the Zenmuse P1 used for?

The Zenmuse P1 is a professional photogrammetry camera for aerial surveying and mapping. It produces centimeter-accurate orthomosaics, digital elevation models, and 3D point clouds for land surveying, construction monitoring, mining, corridor mapping, and precision agriculture.

What makes the P1 different from a standard drone camera?

The P1 uses a 45MP full-frame CMOS sensor combined with interchangeable DL prime lenses and a global mechanical shutter. This eliminates rolling shutter distortion and delivers higher-resolution imagery with greater low-light performance — producing survey-grade outputs that compact drone cameras cannot match.

What drones is the Zenmuse P1 compatible with?

The P1 is compatible with the DJI Matrice 300 RTK, Matrice 350 RTK, and Matrice 400 RTK.

How accurate is the Zenmuse P1?

With RTK-assisted positioning and TimeSync 2.0, the P1 delivers 3 cm horizontal and 5 cm vertical accuracy under standard mapping conditions — without deploying ground control points on every site.

How much area can the P1 cover in a single flight?

Using the 24mm lens at 100m AGL, the P1 covers up to 3 km² per flight at a 0.7-second photo interval. The 35mm and 50mm lenses trade coverage area for higher ground sampling distance depending on project requirements.

Does the P1 require ground control points (GCPs)?

GCPs are not required when operating with an RTK-equipped aircraft. TimeSync 2.0 synchronizes each exposure to the RTK GNSS feed at microsecond precision. GCPs can still be used for additional verification if project specifications require it.

What software is used to process P1 data?

P1 data is natively compatible with DJI Terra and works with Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape, and other industry-standard photogrammetry platforms. Outputs include orthomosaics, DEMs, DTMs, and 3D mesh models.

Is the P1 suitable for construction projects?

Yes. The P1 is widely used for construction progress documentation, earthwork volume calculations, and as-built verification. Its 3 cm accuracy and full-frame detail let survey teams track site changes between flights with reliable, repeatable results.
