DJI Relay for Agras (UK) — Stronger Link in Hedged & Hilly Fields
DJI Relay is a portable range-extension module for DJI Agras drones
(T50/T40/T25/T20P). Place it on a headland, ridge, or beside tall crops to help maintain a clean control/video link
when hedgerows, shelterbelts, buildings, or rolling ground get in the way. It’s built for fieldwork:
IP55 weather protection, 4 hrs internal battery (extendable with a PD power bank),
and quick setup for day-to-day farming operations in the UK.
Key benefits on UK farms
- Bridges line-of-sight gaps: Helps the controller “see” around hedges, woodland edges and small hills to reduce video stutter and control dropouts.
- Simple deployment: Power on, position on a tripod/vehicle or firm ground, and pair — ideal for orchards, maize, and steep pasture.
- All-day practicality: About 4 hours runtime from the internal battery; extend with a USB-C PD power bank for longer operations.
- Rugged design: IP55 dust/water resistance and CE-compliant 2.4/5.8 GHz operation for European use.
Compliance note: DJI Relay extends the radio link but does not change UK CAA requirements —
maintain VLOS and fly within your Operational Authorisation and site safety assessment.
DJI Relay — Frequently Asked Questions
Which DJI Agriculture drones is the Relay compatible with?
The Relay module is designed for DJI Agras models, including T50, T40, T25 and T20P. Check your firmware is up to date on the aircraft and RC Plus before first use.
How far can DJI Relay extend the signal for farming drones?
In unobstructed, low-interference tests, the Relay’s effective distance (CE) is quoted up to ~4 km.
Real-world UK fields with trees, hedges and sheds will shorten this; treat figures as best-case and always verify on site.
Where should I place the Relay for crop-spraying or spreading jobs?
Put it on high, clear ground (headland, ridge, or tripod on a pickup/UTV) with line of sight to both the pilot
and the aircraft. Avoid placing it behind metal buildings or dense woodland. Small relocations between blocks can
dramatically improve the link.
Does DJI Relay allow me to fly beyond VLOS under UK rules?
No. It improves link quality and range but does not remove the VLOS requirement or other CAA constraints.
Use it to stabilise communications within your approved operating area.
How long does the Relay run and can I add external power?
The internal battery provides up to ~4 hours. You can extend runtime using a USB-C PD power bank
(or another suitable 5–15 V source) for long spray/spread sessions.
Is the unit weatherproof for UK conditions?
Yes, the module is rated IP55 for dust and water resistance. It’s built for outdoor use, but still avoid direct spraying,
full immersion, and always dry/inspect before storage.
Will DJI Relay help in orchards, maize, or behind tree lines?
That’s the intent — by elevating the Relay to clear the canopy or hedge line, you can often restore a clean video/control link in
orchards, tall maize, shelterbelts and rolling ground.
Do I need one Relay per drone?
Use one Relay per active operation for predictable performance. If coordinating multiple aircraft or very large sites, plan placements
and radio usage to avoid interference and overlap.
How do I charge and how long does it take?
Charge via the supplied adapter/USB-C. A full charge is typically around ~2 hours 20 minutes on the standard adapter.
Which frequencies does the Relay use in the UK?
It operates on 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz bands (CE), coordinating with your Agras system automatically. Always comply with local spectrum regulations.
