Overview
This guide provides instructions to reset the dock home point after moving a dock, updating survey coordinates, or adjusting location behavior.
When to Recalibrate
Recalibrate when you physically move the dock, update the dock position, or need to correct flight and location behavior.
Availability
Recalibration workflows are available for the DJI Dock 2 and DJI Dock 3 hardware systems.
Before You Start
Make sure the dock is powered on.
Make sure the dock has network connectivity.
Make sure you have physical access to the dock’s debug USB port.
Use RTK or NTRIP for the most accurate result when possible.
Have the surveyed latitude, longitude, and altitude ready if RTK is unavailable.
How to Recalibrate the DJI Dock 2
Open the DJI Dock electrical cabinet and confirm the dock is powered on.
Connect the DJI RC Pro Enterprise or RC Plus Enterprise to the dock’s debug USB port using a USB cable.
Wait for DJI Pilot 2 to open automatically. Open DJI Pilot 2 manually if it does not launch automatically.
Select the dock inside DJI Pilot 2.
Open the dock settings and go to the dock positioning or survey setup area.
Re-run the dock positioning workflow using one of these methods:
RTK Method: Enter your NTRIP or RTK credentials and wait for a valid RTK fix.
Manual Survey Method: Enter the surveyed latitude, longitude, and altitude manually.
Confirm and save the updated dock home point.
Exit the setup flow only after the system saves the updated position.
Verify dock behavior in DroneDeploy before resuming normal automated flights if needed.
Dock 2 Considerations
DJI Pilot 2 manages the recalibration flow for Dock 2.
You must set the dock position accurately with RTK credentials or surveyed coordinates.
For DroneDeploy cloud setup, Dock 2 uses Third-Party Cloud Service, Org ID dronedeploy, and leaves the Binding Code blank. These settings are separate from the recalibration workflow.
How to Recalibrate the DJI Dock 3
Open the DJI Dock 3 electrical cabinet and confirm the dock is powered on.
Connect your Android device or RC controller to the dock’s debug USB port using a USB-C to USB-A cable.
Open the DJI Enterprise App.
Open the dock image or settings and navigate to Station Settings > Location Setup.
Choose one of the following recalibration methods:
RTK Positioning: Enter the NTRIP credentials, wait for an RTK fix, and then save the dock home point.
Manual Survey: Enter the surveyed latitude, longitude, and altitude, and then save the dock home point.
Confirm and save the updated dock home point.
Continue through the Third-Party Cloud Service flow in the DJI Enterprise App if you are reconnecting the dock to DroneDeploy after redeployment.
Dock 3 Considerations
Dock 3 utilizes the DJI Enterprise App instead of DJI Pilot 2.
The configuration pathing in the DJI Enterprise App is Station Settings > Location Setup.
RTK positioning is the recommended method. This method typically requires waiting several minutes for a fix under open sky conditions.
Dock 3 requires Binding Code 1 if you continue into the DroneDeploy cloud configuration afterward.
Limitations and Key Differences
Dock 2 recalibration occurs within DJI Pilot 2, while Dock 3 recalibration occurs within the DJI Enterprise App.
Dock 2 connects through the dock debug USB workflow used by DJI Pilot 2.
Dock 3 requires the DJI Enterprise App and a USB-C to USB-A debug connection.
Dock 3 explicitly features the path Station Settings > Location Setup in the setup guide.
