What is Zenmuse S1

• The Zenmuse S1 is DJI’s first spotlight payload for enterprise‑class drones (multi‑payload drone platforms), rather than a camera or LiDAR.

• It’s designed to provide powerful illumination during night missions — ideal for inspection, public safety, rescue/emergency operations, infrastructure monitoring in low light, etc.

 Key Features & Specifications

• Weight & Size: ~ 760 g (±10 g), dimensions 125 × 152 × 171 mm

• Compatibility: Works with enterprise drones like Matrice 350 RTK, Matrice 300 RTK and Matrice 400.

• Lighting Technology: Uses LEP (Laser‑Excited Phosphor) technology for high brightness and efficient illumination.

• Lighting Modes:

  • Low Beam Mode: ~ 15° field‑of‑view (FOV), suitable for close-range inspection / search.

  • High Beam Mode: narrower beam (smaller FOV), for longer-range lighting when needed.

  • “Both On” Mode: combines beams to maximize illumination distance and coverage — effective illumination up to 500 m under ideal conditions.

  • Strobe Mode: high-frequency flashing useful for signaling or alerting — handy in rescue or emergency operations.

• Illumination Performance: Approximately 35 lux at 100 m (in certain modes) for good visibility; designed to provide clear light for inspection/video capture at distance.

• Robustness / Environment: Rated IP54 for dust and water resistance; can operate in temperatures ~ –20 °C to +40 °C.

• Mounting Flexibility: Can be mounted on various gimbal connectors (single downward, dual downward, upward) — gives flexibility depending on drone configuration/mission.
