Warning Important Hints and Tips Reference
Caution
1. When not in use, store the ZENMUSETM P1 in the storage case and replace the desiccant packet
as necessary to prevent fogging the lenses due to excessive ambient humidity. If the lenses fog up,
the water vapor will usually dissipate after powering on the device for a while. It is recommended to
store the P1 in an environment with a relative humidity of less than 40% and temperature of 20±5° C.
2. DO NOT place the product under direct sunlight, in areas with poor ventilation, or near a heat
source such as a heater.
3. DO NOT repeatedly power the product on or off. After powering off, wait at least 30 seconds before
powering back on. Otherwise, the product life will be affected.
4. Under stable laboratory conditions, the P1 achieves an IP4X protection rating by IEC60529
standards. The protection rating is not permanent, however, and may reduce over an extended
period.
5. Make sure there is no liquid on the surface or in the port of the gimbal.
6. Make sure the gimbal is securely installed on the aircraft and the SD card slot cover is closed
properly.
7. Make sure the surface of the gimbal is dry before opening the SD card slot cover.
8. DO NOT remove or insert the SD card when taking a photo or recording a video.
9. DO NOT touch the surface of the lens with your hand. Be careful to avoid scratching the surface of
the lens with sharp objects. Otherwise, the quality of images may be affected.
10. Clean the surface of the camera lens with a soft, dry, clean cloth. DO NOT use alkaline detergents.
11. DO NOT press the lens release button while attaching the lens. DO NOT repeatedly disassemble
and assemble the lens unless necessary.
12. DO NOT plug or unplug the lens after powering on.
13. DO NOT plug or unplug the P1 after powering on. Press the power button on the aircraft to power
off instead of removing the P1 directly from the aircraft.
14. Make sure to use a storage case when transporting the P1 as the gimbal is a precision instrument.

additional lenses in future.
DJI DL 24mm F2.8 LS ASPH Lens
The DJI DL 35mm F2.8 LS ASPH Lens is included with the Zenmuse P1. Contact local dealers
for more information on how to purchase other compatible lenses. Refer to Specifications to
check supported lens models.
Only use supported lenses. Otherwise, the accuracy of surveying and mapping may be
affected.

5. Rotate the camera lens counter-clockwise after mounting the lens to make sure the lens is firmly
attached.
DO NOT press the lens release button while attaching the lens.
Mount the camera lens with the lens mount facing downward to prevent dust from entering
the sensor. Otherwise, the performance may be negatively affected.
Installing on the Aircraft

1. Remove the gimbal cap.
2. Press the button on the aircraft to detach the gimbal and camera. Rotate the gimbal cap on the
aircraft to remove.
3. Align the white dot on the gimbal with the red dot on the aircraft and insert the gimbal.
4. Rotate the gimbal lock to the locked position by aligning the red dots.
1 2 3 4
Make sure the gimbal connector on the aircraft is positioned correctly when mounting.
Otherwise, the camera cannot be mounted.
Remove the P1 by pressing the button on the aircraft to detach the gimbal and camera.
Place the P1 in the storage case with the lens attached. It is not recommended to repeatedly
disassemble and assemble the lens.
Only remove the P1 after powering off the aircraft.
Detach the gimbal from the aircraft during transportation or storage. Otherwise, the service
life of the damper balls may be shortened or they may even be damaged.
Before takeoff, make sure that the SD card cover is closed properly. Otherwise, it may
obstruct the gimbal arm from moving and cause the motor to overload.

Gimbal Rotating Range

The 3-axis gimbal provides a stable and mobile platform for the camera system to capture smooth
images and videos. The tilt, pan, and roll ranges are listed below.
+55° +40°
0°
-55°
-320°
-130°
Horizon

Take off from flat and open ground. DO NOT block or touch the gimbal after powering on.
Make sure that the SD card cover is closed properly. Otherwise, it may obstruct the rotation
of the gimbal.

Compatible Lenses
DJI DL Lenses are compatible with the DJI DL-Mount, which has a diameter of 58 mm. The focal lengths
of the three DJI DL lenses are 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm. The built-in mechanical global shutter supports
an exposure time of up to 1/2000 s.
MTF
An MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) chart is used to measure the ability of a lens to reproduce
contrast and resolve details. Low spatial frequencies reflect overall contrast and high spatial frequencies
reflect detail resolution.

Enterprise Applications
Smart Oblique Description
When Smart Oblique is enabled, a flight route in the flight area will be automatically generated once the
mapping area is set. The P1 takes an orthophoto and an oblique photo in a single flight by moving the gimbal
to different positions. The P1 will only take photos relating to reconstruction when at the edge of the mapping
area, which reduces the number of photos taken and greatly improves post-processing efficiency.
During a Smart Oblique flight, the position of the gimbal and number of photos taken depend on the
area mapped by the user and may vary in different segments of the flight route.
A. The aircraft will automatically adjust the flight speed according to the number of photos required to
ensure the most efficient operation possible.
Photo Number 1 3 4 5
Flight Speed Faster Fast Slow Slower
B. During a Smart Oblique flight, each flight route segment is composed of a shooting sequence and
each photo in the sequence can be taken in a different direction.
Shooting Direction
Forward Backward Left Right Orthophoto
C. The flight area will vary depending on the mapping area, flight height, and gimbal pitch. The flight
area will also vary when the mapping area is the same, but the flight height or gimbal pitch vary. See
below for more information.
Shooting Direction

Area Area Area
Only supported when using Matrice 300 RTK and Zenmuse P1 together. Make sure Smart
Oblique is enabled in the mapping mission settings.

Nap-Of-The-Object Photogrammetry Description

For nap-of-the-object photogrammetry, it is recommended to set the camera to M mode and to
calibrate the infinity focus point. Adjust the shutter speed and aperture, enable auto ISO, and set the
metering mode to global metering.
Aperture Setting
To obtain high-resolution photos when lighting conditions are good, users can select a smaller aperture
that shortens the hyperfocal distance and reduces the GSD.
Choose the largest possible aperture that meets the required resolution to obtain the largest possible
luminous flux. If lighting conditions are good, use a faster shutter speed to avoid motion blur.
It is recommended to use an aperture of f/5.6-f/11.

photo mode.
D. In Payload Settings, set the focus mode and dewarping.
During an orthophoto operation, it is recommended to adjust the route speed to the maximum value and
enable elevation optimization. Set the focus mode to First Waypoint Autofocus and disable dewarping.
3. Select to save the mission and select to upload and execute the flight mission.
4. Power off the aircraft after the mission is completed and remove the SD card from the P1. Connect

Terrain Follow
To perform a precise Terrain Follow flight, enable Terrain Follow in Mapping mission and import the DSM
file including the altitude information.
Preparing Files
The DSM files of the measurement area can be obtained through the following two methods:
A. Collect the 2D data of the mapping area and perform a 2D reconstruction through DJI Terra by
selecting Fruit Tree. A .tif file will be generated and can be imported to the microSD card of the
remote controller.
B. Download the terrain mapping data from a geobrowser and import to the microSD card of the
remote controller.
Make sure that the DSM file is a geographic coordinate system file, and not a projected
coordinate system file. Otherwise, the imported file may not be recognized. It is recommended
that the resolution of the imported file should be no more than 10 meters.

the positioning module during the flight. The data is stored in the camera system in RTCM3.2
format at a frequency of 5 Hz. The data includes the original observation information and
ephemeris information of the four GNSS systems.
