The M30 drone has a [water and dust protection grade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydro-hawk) of IP55, and DJI states that the drone can handle heavy wind, rain, high altitude, and a wide range of temperatures from -20° C to 50° C. These durability features are industrial enterprise-grade and are quite astounding considering the drone weighs only 8.2lbs and is small enough to fit into many backpacks. The M30 comes with its own charging dock equipped with its own array of smart features. The dock has cameras, weather monitoring capabilities, fast-charging technology, and can instruct the drone accurately up to a range of 7km. Essentially, the DJI Matrice 30 Enterprise is suited for nearly any task an individual could require it for.
