Summary: Key Differences
The Matrice 600 Pro is ready-built and easier to transport This is a huge plus for those looking for a ready-to-fly, portable commercial solution.
While they both have similar flight durations, the original M600 gets slightly more air time (per DJI’s official specs) Although this isn’t a huge deal breaker, when you’re out on a shoot; a few more minutes can mean the difference between getting that perfect shot or having to start over.
The Matrice 600 Pro comes with the A3 Pro Flight Controller as standard The difference in price can be explained by this feature alone, the M600 Pro is instantly specced up to the highest level which beats the standard Matrice 600 pack.

The maximum payload is 6kg - meaning a Ronin-MX gimbal and a range of professional cameras will be suitable for this setup. Support for all the current Zenmuse cameras, including the new Zenmuse Z30, means that the M600 Pro is incredibly versatile when it comes to camera configuration. Not only that - but the motors have an active cooling system along with a new dustproof design - meaning that you can always rely on your Matrice to battle through adverse conditions.
