Keep your Matrice 400 flying. Non-stop.

The G35-M400 / G70-M400 tethered power system keeps the DJI Matrice 400 airborne 24 h+ with heavy payloads. Choose the 3.5 kW G35-M400 ground unit for standard duties or the 7 kW G70-M400 for the heaviest, longest missions — both feed a tool-free airborne module (850 g) over a high-voltage tether. If ground power is cut the drone flies and lands normally while the cable auto-retracts; cable break, disconnect or short-circuit trigger instant HV cutoff.

System architecture

How the G35-M400 keeps power flowing

1

Ground power

Mains, generator or portable power station — 190–240 VAC in.

→
2

Ground station

AC/DC converter, motorized winch, comms, cooling and control in one case.

→
3

High-voltage tether

600–850 VDC over a lightweight cable, 110 m or 220 m, auto-retracting.

→
4

Airborne module

850 g unit in the battery bays steps voltage down to a regulated output.

→
5

M400 + payloads

Camera, floodlight, searchlight, speaker, drop or relay — fed continuously.

Ground station — G35-M400 / G70-M400

One wheeled case holds everything: the AC/DC converter turns single-phase 220 V input into 600–850 VDC (3.5 kW or 7 kW class), the servo-driven winch pays out and retrieves cable at 0–5 m/s with tension that adapts to the aircraft, and the integrated display, Bluetooth and Type-C links expose live voltage, current, cable length and fault logs to the station screen, a handheld terminal or a PC client. Cooling, cable-break detection and power-fail auto-retract are built in.

Airborne module — battery-bay swap

The 850 g module replaces one battery pack and mounts with the same quick-release interface — no brackets, no rewiring. It converts the high-voltage tether input to a constant, regulated output that feeds the aircraft and payload ports directly, so onboard packs stay above 90% as a cold backup throughout the flight. Input and output connectors are keyed and waterproof; the module reports its own status to the ground station over the same cable.

Payloads & accessories

Mix & match — tether-fed add-ons

Payloads share the same quick-mount interface and draw power straight from the tether. The generator pairs with the ground unit for off-grid missions. Sold separately.

Applications

What 24 hours of hovering is for

Matched to what a DJI Matrice 400-class platform can actually carry — lighting, comms, cameras and speakers.

Broadcast & Cinematic AerialContinuous stable power for extended hovering — fewer battery swaps, better broadcast continuity and steadier footage.
FAQ

Questions buyers ask first

Do I need a generator, and which one?
The ground unit runs on standard single-phase 220 V AC (G300 series: three-phase 380 V AC). For field operations without grid access, pair it with the 4.2 kW generator matched to the G35-M400 ground unit, or the 6.5 kW (peak 7 kW) generator matched to the G70-M400 with the L24 searchlight (both per the manual) (priced separately above).
What does the kit price include, and what is the MOQ?
each configuration includes the chosen ground power unit, airborne module, tether cable and custom-foam carry case. MOQ is 1 set; final quotation may vary with quantity. Payloads and the generator are optional add-ons priced separately.
Which cable length should I choose?
Longer cables reach higher altitudes at a small output-power cost. Shorter lengths suit most urban and inspection tasks, while the longest spans serve high-rise, bridge and heavy-lift scenarios. Custom lengths are available on request.
What happens if ground power is cut?
The drone keeps flying and lands normally on its own battery, and the tether auto-retracts so the cable never fouls the landing spot. Cable break, short-circuit and disconnection trigger HV cutoff protection.
Can the payloads be used together?
Yes. 1200 W and 2400 W searchlights and the PA speaker share the same quick-mount interface; the matched 4.2 kW / 6.5 kW generators pair with the ground unit for off-grid missions.
What about certification, shipping and warranty?
Tethered systems ship with CE documentation; batteries follow UN38.3 transport rules. Standard warranty is 12 months with lifetime technical support and spare-part supply. Final certificates are provided with each shipment.
