Major updates from DJI Dock 1 to DJI Dock 2

  • Reduced size and weight: Dock 2 boasts a smaller footprint and lighter weight at just 34kg and covering only 0.34m^2, making it significantly easier to transport and deploy than its predecessor.
  • Enhanced performance: With a maximum flight time of 50 minutes and an operational range of 10 km, the device improves both coverage and efficiency over Dock 1.
  • Surveying capability: Integration of a 20MP surveying camera (identical to the M3E camera) with the M3D variant opens new avenues in construction site management, mining, and more, thanks to its high-precision surveying and mapping capabilities.
  • 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.


Application scenarios

The 20MP wide camera on the M3D, similar to the M3E camera, enables high-precision surveying and mapping, making Dock 2 ideal for construction site progress monitoring, earthwork measurements, and disaster monitoring.

The M3TD's combination of thermal and RGB cameras allows for applications in security patrol, emergency response, and automated asset inspections.


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.


Why consider the DJI Dock 2?

The DJI Dock 2 embodies the cutting-edge of autonomous drone technology, offering unparalleled efficiency, flexibility, and capability in a compact and cost-effective package.

Whether for construction monitoring, disaster management, or security operations, it provides a reliable, high-performance solution for a wide range of applications. With its advanced features and improved specifications, DJI Dock 2 is set to redefine the standards for autonomous drone operations.
