• Cost-effectiveness: It is designed to be more affordable in terms of both hardware and deployment/maintenance services.

Compatible Aircraft

DJI Dock 2 is compatible with two specific aircraft variants: the DJI Matrice 3 dock version (M3D) and the DJI Matrice 3 thermal dock version (M3TD), each equipped with distinct camera setups for specialized tasks.

The M3D is optimized for high-precision surveying and mapping, while the M3TD is suited for public safety operations and inspections.

Software and SDK/API Support

It works seamlessly with the DJI FlightHub 2 platform and continues to support Cloud API for integration with third-party cloud platforms. The E-Port on M3D/M3TD aircraft allows for the mounting of third-party payloads, enhancing the system's flexibility and application potential.

Technical Specifications and Improvements

DJI Dock 2 features a significant reduction in size and weight compared to Dock 1, alongside improvements in operational efficiency and environmental adaptability.

With a max takeoff altitude of 2500m, an operational radius of 10km, and a charging time of 32 minutes for a battery from 20% to 90%, it is designed for robust performance.

Additionally, it supports smart oblique photography, enhancing its utility in detailed mapping and surveying tasks.

DJI Matrice 3D

The DJI Matrice 3D comes equipped with an array of sophisticated cameras tailored to meet the demands of diverse aerial imaging tasks, especially when used with the DJI Dock 2.

Dual-Camera System

• Wide-Angle Camera

Matrice 3D's wide-angle camera features a 4/3 CMOS sensor, delivering exceptional clarity and detail capture. With a format equivalent to 24mm, it offers expansive coverage, ideal for panoramic shots and wide-area mapping.

Boasting an impressive 20 megapixels effective pixel count, this camera ensures high-resolution imagery for precise analysis. Its mechanical shutter enhances image quality by minimizing motion blur, enabling crisp and sharp photographs even in challenging conditions.

• Tele Camera

Complementing the wide-angle camera is the tele camera, equipped with a 1/2-inch CMOS sensor and offering a format equivalent to 162mm.

Despite its compact size, this camera delivers remarkable clarity with 12 megapixels effective pixel resolution, making it suitable for capturing distant subjects with precision.

Together, these cameras empower the DJI Matrice 3D to excel in a variety of aerial imaging applications, from high-precision mapping to detailed inspection tasks.

Durability and Precision

The DJI Matrice 3D boasts an IP54 rating, indicating its capacity to resist dust and water, thereby ensuring consistent performance across diverse environments. This certification confirms the drone's ability to withstand challenging conditions, enhancing its longevity.

The inclusion of an RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) module improves the drone's location accuracy to within ±3cm. This level of precision is crucial for applications requiring detailed spatial information, such as mapping and inspection.

Efficiency and Safety In Operations

The drone's ability to fly for up to 50 minutes on a single charge significantly increases the length of missions while decreasing the frequency of landings and battery swaps.

Furthermore, its 10-km operational range facilitates extensive coverage and operations in areas that are otherwise hard to access.

Safety is bolstered by a 6-directional obstacle sensing system, which enables the drone to identify and navigate around potential hazards, reducing the likelihood of accidents.

These features establish the DJI Matrice 3D as a reliable and safe option for professional uses across various sectors, expanding the capabilities of drone technology.

Next-Level Autonomous Drone Operations

The integration of the DJI Dock 2 with the DJI Matrice 3D drone represents a monumental leap forward in autonomous drone technology. This pairing not only enhances operational efficiency but also redefines the boundaries of unmanned aerial surveillance, inspection, and data collection.

By enabling remote management and advanced autonomous capabilities, users across various sectors-from agriculture to emergency response-can now execute missions with unprecedented precision and reliability.
