Boost your drone operations after dark with the DJI AL1 Light for Matrice 4 — a compact, powerful lighting accessory designed to illuminate targets from up to 100 meters away. With Always-On and Strobe modes, this light is a great choice for hobbyist users who want better visibility during night flights, search tasks, inspection work, or low-light missions.
The AL1 can work together with the gimbal, following camera movement to keep the illuminated area aligned with the live view. It can also be used on its own or stacked together with the DJI AS1 Speaker, giving you more flexibility for different flight scenarios.
