DJI Dock 3 Officially Released: First to Support Vehicle-Mounted Mobile Deployment

On Thursday, DJI’s latest industrial application drone system – Dock 3, officially hit the market, marking another significant breakthrough in the field of industrial drone technology applications. This drone platform is not only DJI’s first car-mounted unmanned system, but it also carries the high-performance Matrice 4D and Matrice 4TD drones, designed for all-weather, all-scenario operations.

The launch of Dock 3 solves the previous protection issue of drones during car-mounted transportation. Through an innovative gimbal fixing device, the system can respond quickly in emergencies, achieve efficient dispatching, and meet the needs of long-distance inspections. This design not only enhances the flexibility of operations but also broadens the application scenarios of drones.

In terms of performance, Dock 3 exhibits excellent environmental adaptability and durability. Its protection level reaches IP56, and the built-in Matrice 4D and 4TD drones also have IP55 protection capabilities, meaning that in extreme weather conditions, whether it is 50°C high temperature or -30°C low temperature, Dock 3 can maintain normal operation and charging status.

Dock 3 has also achieved significant improvements in take-off efficiency. The system can complete take-off in 10 seconds, and through intelligently planned optimal flight routes, the drone can fly to a specified height 1 kilometer away in just 100 seconds, achieving real-time transmission and rapid modeling. This improvement greatly shortens the operation time and improves work efficiency.

Dock 3’s transmission rate is four times that of the previous generation, achieving the function of transmitting while flying. This means that the content shot by the drone during the operation can be transmitted almost in real time, greatly saving the time users wait for transmission. The addition of this function undoubtedly brings a more convenient and efficient experience for industrial applications.

In terms of hardware configuration, both Matrice 4D and 4TD drones are equipped with wide-angle, medium-long focus, long focus cameras, and laser ranging modules, meeting the needs of high-precision mapping and detailed inspections. Particularly, the 4TD model is additionally equipped with a thermal imaging camera and near-infrared fill light, suitable for energy inspection, emergency rescue, public safety, and other fields.

Even under strong wind interference, these two drones can maintain stable operations. They can take off and hover for 32 minutes at a maximum wind speed of 12 meters/second, and under full power, they can fly continuously for 47 minutes at a flight speed of 15 meters/second, an operation time that is 37% longer than the previous generation products.

For industrial application-level products, data security and compliance are crucial. Dock 3 is equipped with the Sky 2 system, which supports custom permission management, AES-256 image transmission encryption, and 4G enhanced image transmission private deployment. Users can deploy the system to a pure intranet, ensuring data security and compliance.

On the market, DJI’s Dock series products have been widely used in airport government flight, power inspection, farmland protection, and other fields since their launch in 2022. The newly launched Dock 3 includes two sets, equipped with Matrice 4D and 4TD drones, with official domestic prices starting at 117,999 yuan and 130,999 yuan respectively, and are on sale to industry users.
