More capable of heavy ducty, smaller in size. The DJI Dock 2, which is outfitted with the exclusive Matrice 2D/3TD drone, is a high-performance, compact unmanned platform that is lightweight, effortless to set up, and has more robust operational capabilities and cloud-based intelligence functions. These features significantly lower the bar for unattended operations and elevate operational efficiency and quality to a whole new level.
Significant changes in DJI Dock 2 compared with DJI Dock 1 :
a. Easier to transport and deploy; smaller footprint and lighter weight (34 kg; 0.34 m^2 covered area).
b. Increased efficiency and coverage with a maximum flying time of 50 minutes and an operational range of 10 km.
c. The M3D incorporates a 20MP surveying camera (the same as the M3E camera), which creates new possibilities for mining, construction site management, and other industries.
d. More economical: less expensive for hardware and deployment/maintenance services.
Below is the comparison between DJI Dock 1 and Dock Specification :
Aircrafts compatible with DJI Dock 2 :
DJI Dock 2 is designed to work seamlessly with the new DJI Matrice 3D and Matrice 3DT drones. While M3TD can be used for public safety operations and inspections, M3D can be utilized for high-precision surveying and mapping missions. The table below displays the specs of the drone.
DJI Dock 2 Integration Support :
DJI FlightHub 2 platform is compatible with DJI DOCK 2. Like DJI Dock 1, DJI DOCK 2 is compatible with Cloud API, which enables outside developers to create cloud platforms for DJI DOCK 2 management and operation.The E-Port feature of the M3D/M3TD aircraft enables the mounting of third-party payloads on the aircraft.
Application scenario with DJI Dock 2 :
- High precision mapping & surveying
- Construction site progress monitoring
- Earthwork measurements
- Security patrol
- Emergency response
- Automated asset inspections, and so on
Conclusion :
When compared to the DJI Dock 1, the DJI Dock 2 represents a major leap in the drone autonomy market. DJI Dock 2 is a must-have for enterprises adopting drone technology improvements because it offers enhanced capabilities and performance at a cost-effective pricing, leading the way in remote flight operations and setting new benchmarks for efficiency and dependability in autonomous aerial operations.
