Is this camera radiometric?

Yes. It records temperature values for each pixel, so you can pull readings from images and video in DJI's software rather than judging heat by color alone.

Which drones does it fit?

It uses DJI's Zenmuse XT gimbal mount for the Matrice 100, 200 and 600 series and the Inspire 1. It does not fit Mavic or Phantom bodies.

What does the 9mm lens mean for my work?

It gives a wide field of view, good for covering roofs and solar arrays quickly. Small objects will look blocky at 336x256, so close detail needs a longer lens.

Does it record video as well as stills?

Yes. It captures thermal stills and video at 30Hz, and on dual-camera setups it can run alongside a visible-light camera.

Is it still a good choice over newer thermal payloads?

It remains a solid, well-integrated option if you already fly DJI enterprise aircraft. Newer cameras offer higher resolution and lighter weight, so compare those if detail matters more than cost.

About the DJI Zenmuse XT Thermal Camera 336x256 9mm 30Hz

The Zenmuse XT is a thermal camera gimbal built for DJI's Matrice and Inspire drones. This version pairs a 336x256 radiometric microbolometer with a 9mm lens and 30Hz refresh, giving a wide field of view for scanning roofs, solar arrays and building envelopes from the air. It is aimed at inspectors, surveyors and public safety crews rather than casual flyers. Against newer thermal payloads it is heavier and lower resolution, but it integrates directly with DJI flight apps and records temperature data, which cheaper bolt-on thermal cameras often cannot do.

Best forRoof and building envelope inspectionsSolar farm and panel surveysSearch and rescue and fire scene assessmentInspectors already flying DJI Matrice or Inspire aircraft

Pros

Radiometric output: temperature readings per pixel, not just a heat image
9mm lens gives a wide field of view for large areas in one pass
30Hz refresh keeps the live feed smooth while panning
Native gimbal and app integration with DJI Matrice and Inspire
Records stills and video alongside the visible-light camera

Cons

336x256 resolution is low by current thermal standards
9mm lens trades detail for coverage; small targets look coarse
Fits DJI's enterprise mounts, not consumer Mavic or Phantom bodies
Heavier than the aircraft's stock camera, cutting flight time
Older model, so firmware and app support lag newer payloads

What reviewers say

5 / 578 ratings

Owners rate it highly, mostly for reliable radiometric data and clean integration with DJI flight apps. Complaints center on resolution and the narrow set of aircraft it fits.
