The crew arrives, the drone is already airborne.

The dock bolts onto a pick-up bed and withstands vibration on the road. Fire services, civil protection and field crews get an aerial view as soon as they stop.

Set up from the officeFrom FlightHub 2 you set the dock’s new location and assign missions without anyone on site.

Coverage with O4 Ground Station

In Gateway mode the ground station extends coverage up to 30 km, so the dock goes where it suits you.

Before you buy

Frequently asked questions

What changes compared with the DJI Dock 2?

IP56 rating, operation from −30 to 50 °C, O4+ Enterprise video link and vehicle mounting. It takes off as soon as the lid opens, live video has lower latency and the climate control is more effective. With the D-RTK 3 Relay the dock can be sited more freely.

Does it swap batteries by itself?

No, it charges the drone. At 25 °C the battery goes from 15% to 95% in about 27 minutes, which is also the shortest gap between two missions. The DJI Dock 4 swaps batteries.

Which drones does it work with?

Only the Matrice 4D series: the Matrice 4D and the Matrice 4TD.

In what weather does it operate?

In winds up to 12 m/s and rain up to 2 mm per hour, from −30 to 50 °C.

What does the installation site need?

An open spot with stable power and internet, at an altitude of up to 4,500 m.

Can it be mounted on a vehicle?

Yes. The dock is bolted to the vehicle bracket with locking nuts and tied with a safety rope, and the vehicle-mounted gimbal mount is required. The installation must follow local regulations.

Can one drone work with several docks?

Yes, one drone can fly missions between several docks. Several drones on one dock are not supported.

Does the dock's backup battery charge the drone?

No, it only keeps the dock running during a power cut.
