DJI Zenmuse S1

High‑Performance Spotlight Payload

The DJI Zenmuse S1 sets a new standard for aerial illumination—delivering long‑range, high‑intensity lighting with multiple beam modes powered by advanced LEP technology. Purpose‑built for demanding nighttime operations such as search and rescue, law enforcement, and infrastructure inspection, it combines precision beam control, rugged environmental protection, and seamless integration with DJI’s Matrice platforms to ensure mission success in the darkest conditions.

The DJI Zenmuse S1 is DJI’s first spotlight payload designed for multi-payload drone platforms, including the Matrice 400, Matrice 350 RTK, and Matrice 300 RTK. Built on LEP (Laser Excited Phosphor) technology, it delivers powerful illumination with multiple beam modes for diverse operational needs. Ideal for public safety, emergency rescue, infrastructure inspection, and nighttime search missions, the Zenmuse S1 ensures reliable visibility in low-light environments.

Low Beam Mode 15° FOV, 150 m range
High Beam Mode 4° FOV, 300 m range
Both On Mode Combined beams, up to 500 m range
Strobe Mode High-frequency flashing for signaling and alerts
