DJI Matrice 4 Thermal vs Autel EVO II Dual 640T V3

The Matrice 4 Thermal is the stronger tool: three 48MP cameras, a 640x512 thermal sensor with a high-res mode, a laser rangefinder, 49 minutes of flight and 25 km transmission. The EVO II Dual 640T is simpler and cheaper-feeling in build, with one 50MP camera, a 640x512 30Hz thermal sensor, 38 minutes of flight and 15 km transmission. Buy the DJI for inspection, public safety and mapping work that needs zoom, ranging and long endurance. Buy the Autel if you want a proven dual-sensor thermal drone with a big smart controller and 360° obstacle avoidance.

  • Choose the Matrice 4 Thermal if you need long-range zoom, a laser rangefinder, AI detection and the longest flight time for inspection or public safety work.
  • Choose the EVO II Dual 640T if you want a straightforward dual-sensor thermal drone with a 7.9-inch smart controller and 360° obstacle avoidance.
