DJI Zenmuse XT vs DJI Zenmuse XT2: Lenses, Resolutions, and Framerates

Infrared Power Line

Aerial thermal imaging cameras have a wide variety of uses and applications, from search and rescue to asset inspections, to precision agriculture. Whatever your field may be, it’s important to be informed about the best options available to you, but it can be confusing to wade through the fine print to really understand what the best fit for your needs might be. To that end, here we compare two standout thermal camera options on the market, the DJI Zenmuse XT and the DJI Zenmuse XT2. If you haven’t caught on to this yet, one major point of difference between the Zenmuse XT and the XT2 is that the XT is solely an infrared camera, whereas the Zenmuse XT2 is a single unit equipped with both an infrared and visual camera. The camera you choose will depend, obviously, on your needs and intended use. Need more information on thermal? Read the blog on Understanding Thermal Drones.

Though it is undoubtedly the lower-end model, one factor in favor of the Zenmuse XT is the fact that it is somewhat more versatile in it’s application, in the sense that it is compatible with a wider selection of the DJI drone models. It can be mounted to the Matrice 100, Matrice 200 Series (M200, M210, M210 RTK), Matrice 600, and the Inspire 1. The upgraded model, Zenmuse XT2, can only be used with the M200 Series (M200, M210, M210 RTK) and M600 Pro drones. If you already own one of these drone models and are not looking to add to your fleet at this time, this is an important consideration when selecting your infrared camera.
