Aerial platforms are rapidly becoming vital tools for businesses looking to more efficiently collect information crucial to their operations. The Zenmuse Z30 is the first integrated aerial camera with up to 30x optical zoom and digital zoom up to 6x. This camera and gimbal system offers unparalleled image data capture. Enterprise users of DJI products are now able to capture the information they require from a greater range making image data collection significantly faster. Also, the Zenmuse Z30 significantly reduces risk of harm to both personnel and equipment.
Main Features
ZOOM
The Zenmuse Z30 is the most powerful integrated aerial zoom camera on the market with 30x optical and 6x digital zoom for a total magnification up to 180x. Whether you are inspecting cell towers or wind turbines, it enables you to get a detailed look at structures, wires, modules and components for the purpose of detecting defects and damage.
As a result of allowing detailed inspections from a distance without the need to fly close to the subject, not only is speed and efficiency of your operations increased, but the risk of collision is all but eliminated.
STABILIZATION
A high-powered zoom means that any movement in the system is magnified, so stability is of utmost importance. The Zenmuse Z30 incorporates DJI’s leading gimbal technology for stabilization within 0.01°, and the same precision for controls. This enables long-range inspection with high reliability.
TAPZOOM
With TapZoom, precise collection of visual data is as easy as tapping your finger to point the camera at the subject of your inspection. The Zenmuse Z30 automatically adjusts its focal length to give you an enlarged view, making the most miniscule of details visible in just seconds.

Use Cases
CELL TOWER INSPECTION
Cell tower inspections are safer and quicker with the Zenmuse Z30. Inspecting from a distance eliminates the need for dangerous manual inspection. Because of this, you will no longer need to worry about crashing into assets. Stream your footage to a central hub to reduce boots on the ground and ensure that you don’t need any extra trips.
Forget about hoisting up to inspect cell towers. Instead, allow an aerial platform equipped with the Zenmuse Z30. Now you will be able to conduct inspections from afar in a quick and efficient manner.
The Zenmuse Z30 gives the ability to livestream findings to engineers anywhere. Live communication makes it possible for engineers and pilots to work together. Then they can identify concerns and conduct a quick inspection.
The extended range of the Zenmuse Z30 adds many safety benefits. Since it is able to operate beyond the threat range of cell towers’ electromagnetic fields high flight safety is ensured.
DJI Go’s Intelligent Flight Modes makes setting up your system easy. You can use Point of Interest to have your system circle a cell tower at a constant radius. You can do this while keeping it locked in the frame. With this set, you can focus on directing the camera and controlling zoom. This makes image data capture and performing inspections simple
