DJI Zenmuse P1

Zenmuse P1: Your reference tool for aerial photogrammetry

Extraordinary efficiency

The P1 is equipped with a high-sensitivity, full-frame, low-noise sensor that can take a photo every 0.7s during flight and cover 3 km2 in a single flight.

Remarkable precision

Equipped with a global mechanical shutter and the all-new TimeSync 2.0 system, which synchronizes time between modules at the microsecond level, the Zenmuse P1 allows users to capture centimeter-accurate data combined with position and orientation in real time.

Robust versatility

Create 2D, 3D and detailed models with the built-in 3-axis gimbal that can be fitted with 24/35/50mm lenses and Smart Oblique Capture.

Full frame camera

• 45MP full-frame sensor
• 4.4μm pixel size
• Low-noise, high-sensitivity imaging extends daily operational time.
• Take a photo every 0.7s during the flight.
• TimeSync 2.0 aligns the camera, flight controller, RTK module and gimbal down to the microsecond.

Multiple fixed focus lens options

- Global mechanical shutter, shutter speed 1/2000 seconds

- Sends the median exposure pulse in microseconds

- Supports 24/35/50mm lenses with DJI DL mounts

Work smart, work fast

Intelligent Oblique Capture

Cover 7.5 KM2 in a single working day with the P1. Increase the efficiency of your oblique photography mission with the Smart Oblique Capture feature, where the gimbal automatically rotates to take shots at the various angles needed. Only essential reconstruction photos will be taken at the edge of the flight area, increasing post-processing efficiency by 20%-50%.

Smart Data Management

• Mission results files are automatically associated with the name and time of the mission.
• A centralized storage location for photos, GNSS data, and TimeStamps.MRK files.
• Image metadata contains intrinsic and extrinsic camera settings and RTK status.

Field work report

Verify data quality immediately after flight by monitoring position data and number of frames acquired, as well as RTK status and positioning accuracy.

A mission mode for all scenarios

Orthomosaic 2D Mission

Generate orthomosaics without GCP using the P1, perfect for operations on medium to large surfaces.
