What is DJI Payload SDK

• The DJI Payload SDK lets developers create custom payloads — like cameras, sensors, thermal modules, mapping tools, communication devices, and more — that integrate directly with DJI enterprise drones.

• With PSDK, a custom payload can communicate with the drone’s core systems (flight controller, GPS, transmission, power supply, data link etc.), making them behave like “official” DJI payloads.

• Supported drones include many of DJI’s enterprise‑grade drones (Matrice series, Matrice 30 series, M400‑series etc.) — so third-party sensors or custom modules can work on powerful, professional platforms.

What You Can Build / Use with PSDK

Developers can build or integrate:

• Custom cameras (e.g. multispectral, mapping, thermal)

• Sensors (gas sensors, LiDAR, environmental sensors, etc.)

• Specialized tools: speakers, searchlights, communications modules, relay devices

• On‑board computing & data‑processing modules (e.g. computer vision, AI, real-time analysis)

• Custom automation or payload‑specific controls

Essentially, PSDK lets you turn a standard drone into a specialized aerial platform tailored to your mission needs (surveying, mapping, inspection, agriculture, environment, security…).
