The World’s First Vehicle-Ready Drone-in-a-Box
The DJI Dock 3 (SKU: DJI-DOCK 3) marks a revolutionary shift in autonomous aerial operations. Designed for the Matrice 4D and 4TD series, this third-generation docking station is built for both stationary and mobile deployments. Its unique anti-vibration design and horizontal calibration features allow it to be mounted on vehicles, providing a mobile base for emergency responders and utility inspectors who require 24/7 aerial overwatch on the move.
Unyielding Durability in Any Climate
Engineered to survive the harshest environments, the Dock 3 ensures mission continuity regardless of South African weather challenges:
- Extreme Temperature Range: Operates from -30°C to 50°C with a built-in compressor-based AC and pre-heating system.
- IP56 Weatherproofing: Complete protection against powerful water jets and dust ingress for long-term outdoor exposure.
- 12m/s Wind Tolerance: Advanced takeoff and landing logic allows for safe operations in high-wind conditions.
- Rapid 10-Second Takeoff: Always-on GNSS and optimized cover mechanics ensure the drone is airborne in seconds.

High-Performance Materials & Visual Identity
The Dock 3 features a Weather-Resistant Polar White finish on its high-strength steel chassis, designed to reflect solar heat. The landing surface is a Matte Charcoal Grey high-friction pad with Stark White precision landing markers. All structural mounting hardware is finished in Industrial Obsidian Black, while internal actuators utilize Satin Silver Anodised Aluminium for long-term corrosion resistance in coastal or industrial zones.
Smart Mission Management
- Cloud-Based Control: Fully integrated with DJI FlightHub 2 for remote mission planning and live streaming.
- Dual-Dock Rotation: Deploy two docks at a single site to allow drones to rotate, ensuring 24/7 coverage.
- D-RTK 3 Support: High-precision positioning (1cm horizontal accuracy) and signal relaying.
- Edge Computing Support: Internal bay for edge computing modules to process AI detection locally.
Note: DJI Dock 3 requires professional installation. The Matrice 4D/4TD aircraft and software subscriptions for FlightHub 2 are typically sold separately or as part of a mission-ready bundle.
