DJI Dock 3 With Matrice 4D — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DJI Dock 3 and who is it for?›
The DJI Dock 3 is the latest “Drone-in-a-Box” solution, enabling 24/7 fully automated, remote drone operations. It is designed for enterprise users in public safety, emergency response, surveying, and infrastructure inspection who require persistent, on-demand aerial data collection with minimal human intervention. It exclusively supports the DJI Matrice 4D and Matrice 4TD series drones.
What is the detection range and multi‑return capability?›
The Dock 3 system utilizes the O4+ Enterprise video transmission system. When paired with the optional D-RTK 3 Relay, the maximum transmission range can be extended up to 25 km, ensuring robust connectivity for large-area coverage or remote sites.
What dual‑camera system does it use?›
The Matrice 4D features a powerful tri-camera system:
- Wide-Angle Camera: 4/3 CMOS, 20MP (24mm equivalent) with Mechanical Shutter.
- Medium Tele Camera: 1/1.3-inch CMOS, 48MP (70mm equivalent).
- Tele Camera: 1/1.5-inch CMOS, 48MP (168mm equivalent).
It also includes a Laser Range Finder with a range up to 1800m.
What accuracy and altitude support does the L3 provide?›
The system provides survey-grade positioning. The Dock’s built-in RTK base station achieves horizontal accuracy of 1 cm + 1 ppm (RMS). The drone provides hovering accuracy down to ±0.1 m (with RTK positioning). The Dock is certified for a maximum operating altitude of 4500 m.
Which drone platforms is it compatible with?›
The DJI Dock 3 is exclusively compatible with the purpose-built DJI Matrice 4D and Matrice 4TD series drones. These fixed-arm drones are optimized for rapid deployment and high durability within the automated docking station.
What scanning modes and throughput are available?›
The system supports fully automated mission workflows managed via FlightHub 2, including Smart 3D Capture routes, geometric route planning, and real-time terrain following. This allows for high-frequency, repeatable data collection with minimal manual input.
What deliverables and software workflows does the L3 support?›
The Dock 3 fully integrates with FlightHub 2 for fleet management, mission planning, and real-time data streaming. Key intelligent features include Change Detection and automated object (people/vehicle) recognition and tracking.
How does it handle harsh environments and professional duty cycles?›
The Dock 3 has a robust IP56 rating and operates in temperatures from -30°C to +50°C thanks to its built-in climate control. The Matrice 4D charges from 15% to 95% in approximately 27 minutes, ensuring rapid operational turnaround.
What kinds of applications is the L3 best suited for?›
It is ideal for Critical Infrastructure Monitoring (e.g., power grids, pipelines), Automated Security Patrols (24/7 surveillance), Large-Area Surveying, and Mobile Emergency Response due to its vehicle-mounted deployment capability.
Where can I buy the DJI Zenmuse L3 and get support in the UK?›
We supply the complete DJI Dock 3 system, including the Matrice 4D, as an authorized UK Enterprise dealer. We offer full installation, commissioning, on-site training, and dedicated UK-based technical support and warranty services.
