Profile
The M100 is a professional quad-rotor flying platform. It has modular hardware, and is an open platform for
developers to expand and build upon. The next generation flight controller system provides a more stable flight
experience. A low latency HD video downlink is powered by an enhanced version of the DJI Lightbridge system.
When used together with the DJI ZENMUSE X3 camera and gimbal, users can control the camera and gimbal via
the buttons and dials on the remote controller. A 4500 mAh DJI Intelligent Flight Battery employs new battery cells
and a battery management system. The expandable structure design of the center frame makes it easy to mount
other devices for more functions and a greater flight experience. Users can control the flying platform via the
convenient API provided by the open DJI SDK to build specialized flying solutions.
