Zenmuse P1
The DJI Zenmuse P1 is an enterprise aerial photogrammetry payload built specifically for high-precision surveying and mapping. Unlike the Zenmuse L2 (which relies primarily on LiDAR), the P1 is a pure RGB optical photogrammetry solution designed for high-resolution 2D orthomosaics, 3D modeling, and cadastral surveys.
Core Components & Features
45 MP Full-Frame Sensor: Uses a 35.9 × 24 mm full-frame sensor with a 4.4 µm pixel size, providing extreme detail and high light sensitivity for extended operational hours.
Global Mechanical Shutter: Equipped with a mechanical shutter speed up to 1/2000s to eliminate rolling-shutter distortion during high-speed mapping flights.
Interchangeable Fixed-Focus Lenses: Mounts lightweight DJI DL-mount lenses (24mm, 35mm, and 50mm).
TimeSync 2.0: Synchronizes the camera, flight controller, RTK module, and gimbal down to the microsecond level, delivering 3 cm horizontal and 5 cm vertical accuracy without using Ground Control Points (GCPs).
Smart Oblique Capture: The gimbal automatically rotates during flight to capture photos from nadir and multiple angles, skipping unnecessary shots at the perimeter to speed up post-processing by 20%–50%.
