Illuminating the Night: DJI's New Zenmuse S1 and V1 for Drones
Illuminate the Night with DJI's Advanced Drone Payloads
DJI has recently announced the launch of two groundbreaking payload products: the Zenmuse S1 spotlight and the Zenmuse V1 speaker, tailored to address the urgent needs of night-time search and rescue, monitoring, and disaster response missions. This innovative technology is spearheaded by Sekido Co., Ltd., an official DJI distributor based in Minato, Tokyo. Available starting April 16, 2025, these products promise to enhance visibility and communication from the skies, revolutionizing emergency operations.
Unleash the Power of Zenmuse S1
The Zenmuse S1 is the first high-performance spotlight specifically designed for multi-payload compatible drones, compatible with DJI's Matrice 300 and 350 RTK models. It incorporates LEP (Light Emitting Plasma) technology, allowing for excellent brightness and long-distance illumination, featuring four lighting modes: low beam, high beam, simultaneous mode, and strobe. With a visibility range of up to 500 meters and environmental adaptability (IP54 rated, operational in temperatures from -20°C to 40°C), this tool is indispensable for various nighttime operations.
One of its standout features is the exceptionally low power consumption of just 17 watts, ensuring efficient energy use while maintaining drone operating time. Weighing in at only 0.76 kg, the S1 is designed for ease of handling, boasting safety features like burn prevention technology and automatic dimming functionalities, all while ensuring intuitive control from the transmitter.
Versatile Lighting Modes for Any Situation
The Zenmuse S1 supports four lighting modes to cater to different operational needs. The low beam mode offers a wide-angle illumination up to 150 meters, while the high beam leverages LEP technology for narrow-angle visibility extending to 300 meters. The dual lighting mode maximizes effective range to 500 meters, and the strobe mode serves ideal for alerts and warnings, making it an essential tool for nighttime rescue missions and public safety operations.
High Intensity with Low Power Needs
This state-of-the-art spotlight achieves a luminous intensity of up to 35 lux at a distance of 100 meters, allowing for clear identification of subjects even in poorly lit conditions. The power-efficient design in high beam mode contributes significantly to extending flight times, reducing the operational strain on drones.
Reliable and Intuitive Operation
The Zenmuse S1 is built with a robust temperature and power protection system, enhancing reliability and durability. It maintains a controlled temperature below 50°C to prevent burns and offers automatic dimming when not in flight to protect users’ safety. The device is also equipped with an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring it operates reliably across diverse environmental conditions.
Clear Sound with Zenmuse V1
In a complementary role, the Zenmuse V1 is DJI's inaugural multi-payload speaker, designed for the Matrice 300 and 350 RTK models. This speaker reaches sound levels of up to 127 decibels with effective transmission distances of 500 meters, making it highly suitable for public safety announcements and emergency communications. It features various broadcasting modes including recording, text-to-speech, and audio file playback, all managed seamlessly via the DJI Pilot 2 app.
Multiple Broadcasting Options for Vital Communication
The Zenmuse V1 supports three distinct broadcasting modes: voice playback from recordings, text-to-speech functions, and the reproduction of pre-recorded audio files. Users can easily manage these tasks through the DJI Pilot 2 app, ensuring rapid and reliable communication even in emergencies, while also allowing adjustments for voice speed and tone, as well as looping functionalities.
Powerful Coverage with Crystal-Clear Audio
Delivering its commanding sound from merely one meter away, the V1 matches the auditory intensity of a jet taking off. Its effective broadcast capability across a 500-meter range ensures that critical information reaches wide areas without loss of clarity.
Precision Sound Direction Control
Incorporating a highly directional microphone function powered by the DJI RC Plus transmitter and noise-canceling technology, the Zenmuse V1 captures necessary audio while minimizing background interference. Furthermore, synchronized operation with other gimbal-mounted payloads allows precise adjustment of the speaker's pitch angle for targeted audio delivery, enhancing instructional communication efficiency.
