The vehicle must remain stationary throughout vehicle-mounted missions. Dock 3 is designed for Matrice 4D and 4TD; it is not compatible with Matrice 4E / 4T. The dock, controller and software licences are supplied separately depending on the selected package.
DJI DOCK 3
Ready in the Field. Managed Remotely.
Dock 3 combines aircraft takeoff, landing, charging and mission cycles in a remotely managed system. Matrice 4D Series aircraft offer a camera configuration similar to the Matrice 4 Series, with longer flight time and enhanced protection.
ENVIRONMENTAL ADAPTABILITY
Designed for Challenging Weather.
Heat Resistance
DJI Dock 3 supports operation and charging in ambient temperatures up to 50 °C. Its climate-control system regulates conditions inside the dock.
Cold Resistance
After preheating, it can operate in cold environments down to -30 °C. The aircraft operating temperature range for Matrice 4D / 4TD is -20 °C to +50 °C.[1]
Wind Resistance
Matrice 4D and 4TD can take off and land in winds of 12 m/s. DJI measured flight times of up to 32 minutes in its test under these wind conditions.[13]
Durable and Reliable
A housing that protects electronic components and Dock 3's IP56 rating support operation in demanding field conditions.[2]
Low-Noise Anti-Ice Propellers
The Matrice 4D Series comes with low-noise anti-ice propellers as standard. The effectiveness of the propeller coating can change with use and wear.
Operating limits apply: dock operations support winds up to 12 m/s and rainfall up to 2 mm/hour. An ingress protection rating does not permit unrestricted flight in all weather conditions.
FLEXIBLE DEPLOYMENT, LONG-RANGE COMMUNICATION
Fixed Deployment
Positioned at an elevated location, the D-RTK 3 Relay Fixed Deployment Version helps reduce signal obstruction and offers more flexibility in choosing a Dock 3 site. Installation and commissioning can be performed on an Android phone using the DJI Enterprise app.
25 km / 12 km[5]
Maximum O4+ Enterprise transmission distance in an unobstructed, interference-free environment: 25 km under FCC; 12 km under CE, SRRC and MIC.
Near Tall Buildings
Positioning the relay at an elevated location helps reduce the effect of buildings, walls and similar obstacles on the connection.
Near Communication Towers
Select the installation site by assessing relay placement, interference and satellite signals together.
Availability of building-side and communication-tower deployment scenarios depends on the region and DJI Pilot 2 site evaluation results. The D-RTK 3 fixed relay version is different from the Multifunctional Station.
Additional Option: DJI O4 Ground Station
DJI O4 Ground Station offers an additional connection option for Dock 3. Gateway mode connects to FlightHub 2 through a network, while Relay mode supports video transmission through a suitably positioned station. Transmission distance and mode availability depend on regional standards and deployment configuration.[12]
VEHICLE-MOUNTED DEPLOYMENT
Take Operations Where They Are Needed.
Dock 3 is the first DJI Dock system to support vehicle-mounted deployment. Its structure, tested for vehicle vibration, and the Vehicle-Mounted Gimbal Mount offer a deployment option for temporary sites.
Cloud-Based Position Calibration
When the deployment site changes, the dock's position can be recalibrated remotely through FlightHub 2.
Two Docks on One Vehicle
With the appropriate configuration, two docks can take turns handling missions and support the team's workflow.
Alternating Missions with Two Aircraft
With compatible software and mission planning, two aircraft can operate in rotation to maintain video coverage of the site.
The vehicle remains stationary during flight. Vehicle-mounted deployment does not mean flying from a moving vehicle. The parking slope must be less than 3° during operations, and the dock's position must be calibrated.[6]
HIGH-PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT
Matrice 4D or Matrice 4TD.
Both models are designed for Dock 3 and feature wide-angle, medium telephoto and telephoto cameras, plus a laser rangefinder. They can also operate independently of the dock when paired with DJI RC Plus 2 Enterprise.

Dock 3 works exclusively with the Matrice 4D Series. The thermal camera and NIR auxiliary light are specific to Matrice 4TD; the 4/3 wide-angle camera with a mechanical shutter is specific to Matrice 4D.
EXTENDED FLIGHT TIME
For Longer Missions.
Under ideal test conditions, Matrice 4D and 4TD offer up to 54 minutes of forward flight and up to 47 minutes of hovering. A test with a 10 km operating radius achieved 18 minutes of work at the mission site.[4]
54 minutes
Maximum forward-flight time measured at a constant speed of 12 m/s.
47 minutes
Maximum hovering time measured in windless conditions.
15–95% in 27 minutes
Recharge the battery for the next mission with Dock 3.[3]

- Dock 3 has a specified operating temperature range of -30 °C to +50 °C; preheating is required at low temperatures. Matrice 4D / 4TD aircraft have a specified operating temperature range of -20 °C to +50 °C.
- Dock 3 is rated IP56; Matrice 4D / 4TD are rated IP55. Ratings were measured under controlled laboratory conditions; protection may diminish with wear and tear.
- The 27-minute charging time was measured from 15% to 95% at an ambient temperature of 25 °C, with the aircraft powered off. Automatic battery replacement is not available.
- 54 minutes: constant forward flight at 12 m/s, 20 m above sea level, in windless conditions, without taking photos, with obstacle avoidance disabled and battery discharged from 100% to 0%. 47-minute hovering time: the same windless conditions, from 100% to 0%. 43 km total distance: constant speed of 16 m/s. 10 km radius and 18 minutes of work: approximately 25 °C, windless conditions, approximately 15 m/s outbound and return speed, and a 15% safe battery level. These values do not guarantee actual mission duration.
- Maximum one-way O4+ Enterprise transmission distance: FCC 25 km; CE/SRRC/MIC 12 km. Measured in unobstructed, interference-free conditions; this is not the round-trip flight range. Frequency and relay-service availability depend on the region.
- Vehicle-mounted deployment requires suitable mounting hardware, secure installation and position calibration. The vehicle and dock must not move during flight, and the parking slope must be less than 3°. Two docks on the same vehicle are added to the same project for safe mission coordination.
- DJI Cellular Dongle 2 and related services are supplied separately. 4G service is not available in all countries or regions; a mobile network and suitable software are required.
- The thermal camera, IR-Cut and NIR auxiliary light are available only on Matrice 4TD. The 1280 × 1024 UHR output differs from the 640 × 512 native sensor resolution. Night Scene mode must be disabled for UHR thermal video. The approximately 100 m NIR illumination figure comes from the manufacturer's test with the telephoto camera.
- The Obstacle Sensing Module is sold separately; the 12 mm cable and 15 m/s figures apply under specified test conditions. Rain, snow, fog, dust, moving obstacles and blind spots affect performance. Radar availability depends on the region and software version.
- Backup battery operation of more than 4 hours was measured with a fully charged battery at 25 °C. During a power outage, aircraft charging, air conditioning, cover heating and wind-sensor heating are unavailable.
- AL1 / AS1 figures were measured under laboratory conditions at approximately 25 °C. Installing accessories can affect flight time and obstacle sensing. Upward obstacle sensing is disabled when AL1 is installed; obstacle avoidance is disabled when the spotlight is on. AS1 text-to-speech is limited to English and Mandarin Chinese.
- DJI O4 Ground Station is sold separately. Gateway and Relay options with Dock 3 require compatible firmware and regional frequency support. DJI's 30 km figure applies only under specified IC conditions, in Dock 3 + Matrice 4D Gateway or RC Plus 2 Enterprise + Matrice 4D/4TD Relay configurations. It is not a general Dock 3 range specification for Türkiye. Building-side and communication-tower site selection depends on regional satellite services and DJI Pilot 2 evaluation results.
- The 32-minute flight test in 12 m/s winds used a new battery, with at least 95% charge at takeoff and at least 15% at landing. These conditions differ from the 54-minute forward-flight test in windless conditions.
