DJI Zenmuse P1 Aerial Surveying Camera

DJI Zenmuse P1: Optimized for High-Efficiency Photogrammetry

The new benchmark for aerial surveying, the Zenmuse P1 integrates a full-frame sensor with interchangeable fixed-focus lenses on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal. Designed for photogrammetry flight missions, it takes efficiency and accuracy to a whole new level.

Features

Extraordinary Efficiency

The P1 includes a full-frame, low-noise high-sensitivity sensor that can take a photo every 0.7 s during the flight, and covering 3 km2 in a single flight.

Remarkable Accuracy

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

Robust Versatility

Create 2D, 3D, and detailed models thanks to the integrated 3-axis gimbal that can be outfitted with 24/35/50mm lenses and the Smart Oblique Capture feature.

Efficiency to Cover It All - Full-frame Camera

• 45MP Full-frame Sensor
• 4.4μm Pixel Size
• Low-noise, high sensitivity imaging extends daily operational time
• Take a photo every 0.7 s during the flight
• TimeSync 2.0 aligns the camera, flight controller, RTK module, and gimbal at the microsecond level

Flexibility to Capture It All - 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

Smart Oblique Capture

Cover 7.5 km2 in a single workday with the P1. Elevate the efficiency of your oblique photography mission using Smart Oblique Capture, where the gimbal automatically rotates to take photos at the different angles needed. Only photos essential to the reconstruction will be taken at the edge of the flight area, increasing the efficiency of post processing by 20% to 50%.

Your mission data management - streamlined

• Mission result files are automatically associated with the Mission Name and Mission Time.
• A centralized storage location for photos, GNSS data, and TimeStamps.MRK files.
• The image metadata contains the camera’s intrinsic and extrinsic parameters and the status of RTK.

Fieldwork Report

Verify data quality immediately post-flight by checking the position data and number of the images acquired, as well as RTK status and positioning accuracy.

A Mission Mode for Any Scenario

2D Orthomosaic Mission

Generate orthomosaics without GCPs using the P1, perfect for medium to large-area operations.

3D Oblique Mission

Effortlessly acquire oblique images from multiple angles that meet 3D modeling requirements across industries such as urban planning and centimeter-level accurate cadastral surveys to serve 3D reality models and smart city planning.

Detailed Modeling Mission

Acquire ultra-high resolution image data of vertical or slanted surfaces from a safe distance that faithfully recreates fine textures, structures, and features, for detailed reconstructions, geological surveys, heritage site conservation, hydraulic engineering, and more.

Real-time Mapping Mission

Gather geographic information of large areas in real-time using DJI Terra so that teams can make crucial decisions quickly on site.
