The H30T's 1280 x 1024 thermal sensor captures four times the pixel data of the M4T's 640 x 512 unit, a genuine difference for identifying a smaller heat signature at distance rather than just seeing a hotspot exists.
Mission planning starts with what the deliverable actually needs to resolve, since that decides flight altitude and, in turn, ground sampling distance (GSD), the real-world size each pixel represents.
The D-RTK 3 works out its own precise position from satellites, then broadcasts a local radio correction directly to the aircraft, an entirely self-contained loop that doesn't touch the internet at all.
The M4T does one job well: a complete thermal and visual aircraft with nothing further to buy, at a fraction of the M400's entry price.
Controller-free flying exists at exactly one price point. Only the Neo 2, at £209.00, flies its basic modes without a controller at all; every other model here, from £242.00 up to £859.00, uses a conventional two-stick setup.
The M4E does one job well: mapping and inspection with a fixed triple-camera set, nothing further to buy, at a fraction of the M400's entry price.
The M4E's wide camera has a genuine mechanical shutter, capturing the full frame at once rather than scanning it line by line.
DSS's current catalogue lists the M4E at £3,940.00 as a standalone aircraft combo with RTK built in but no base station included.
