Advantages of Dock 2
While Dock 1 was a good solution, DJI Dock 2 is clearly superior. Below are its main
advantages:
- Smaller Size: Dock 2 is 75% smaller and weighs 68% less than its
predecessor. The smaller size makes it easier to transport and set up. - Precision Mapping with RTK: DJI Dock 2's compatibility with the Matrice 3D
series allows for a new level of precision in data obtained from drones. It
offers mapping capabilities that Dock 1 could not provide. Continuous
centimeter-level accuracy is possible thanks to Dock 2's integrated dual RTK
module. - Enhanced Durability and Performance: DJI Dock 2 is equipped with
advanced sensors for increased situational awareness, a hybrid charging
system, and a weather-resistant housing (IP55 rating). These features reduce
operational disruptions and increase reliability during automated missions.
Alongside Dock 2, the Matrice 3D offers longer flight times (up to 50 minutes)
and a greater operating range (up to 10 km), allowing for more efficient
mapping or inspection of larger areas. - Improved Charging and Battery Efficiency: DJI Dock 2 takes slightly longer
to charge drone batteries from 20% to 90% than Dock 1 (32 minutes
compared to 25 minutes). However, the 12V hybrid system offers several
benefits, including extended battery life and reduced operating costs. Dock 2
ensures mission continuity with a built-in backup battery, allowing the drone to
land safely during a power outage using the automatic "Return to Home"
(RTH) function. - Reduced Maintenance Requirements: Dock 2 requires maintenance only
twice a year, reducing maintenance costs and potential downtime compared
to Dock 1.Drones Compatible with Dock 2 - Matrice 3D
The Matrice 3D is equipped with a zoom camera for highly
detailed images and a wide-angle camera that creates distortion-free photos.
These features make the Matrice 3D ideal for surveying, land management,
and other tasks requiring precise mapping data. - Matrice 3DT
The Matrice 3DT features a versatile camera system that
combines wide-angle, telephoto, and thermal cameras. This makes the
Matrice 3DT an ideal tool for infrastructure inspection, search and rescue, and
public safety applications where both visual and thermal data are needed.
