Current Recommendation
We still recommend the DJI Dock 2 for customer hardware purchases. The Dock 2 is a reliable and proven option, fully compatible with Dock Automation, and well-suited for most Enterprise needs. See reasons below why customers might want to purchase Dock 3 which comes at an additional cost. The Dock 1 is not recommended as this is not being actively supported by DJI.
Who should buy the Dock 3?
- Improved Dock Insulation and Temperature Control: Works at colder and hotter temperatures where the dock 2 struggled. Especially sites in locations that were often over 100F. IP56 rated.
- Future proof dock hardware: This dock is supposed to be able to support the Matrice 5 series once available.
- Improved Drone Obstacle Avoidance: Enhanced safety and customer experience which will become more important in BVLOS operations
- Map larger areas in a single battery: Up to 29% faster mapping, 66% faster accent and descent for quicker mission completion, and 10% longer battery life mean ~40% larger areas can be mapped on a single battery - great for mega projects like Data Centers which would have needed a fixed wing drone.
- New add on modules:
- Obstacle avoidance sensor with Lidar for flying around environments like substations with wires or thin objects that can be difficult to detect
- Relay station to put the radio communications and GPS receiver up on a roof while the dock can be on the ground somewhere.
