A 25-second battery swap against a 27-minute charge cycle, a jump to 2,000W input power, and an RTK base station that’s moved outside the dock. Here’s what’s actually changed.
DJI Dock 4 swaps in a charged battery in 25 seconds, not 27 minutes. Here’s everything new in the launch, from the Matrice 5TD’s camera system to FlightHub 2’s AI Copilot.
Maximum flight time extends to 59 minutes against the Matrice 4TD's 54, with 48 minutes as the Matrice 5TD's practical operating figure once reserve margins are accounted for.
Dock 3 is the first DJI dock rated for mounting on a vehicle rather than a fixed pad, opening up temporary sites, mobile patrol routes and rapid redeployment between jobs without a permanent installation.
The headline number is identical, 1-inch 50MP on both main cameras, so image quality from the wide lens is genuinely comparable between them in good light.
NTRIP, Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol, is a delivery mechanism, not a correction method in itself.
FlightHub 2's core job is managing aircraft while they're flying: a Virtual Cockpit for controlling multiple drones from one dashboard, real-time device status, and livestream sharing with simultaneous multi-drone monitoring.
Both land under DJI's 250g threshold and both build in forward-facing LiDAR, hardware that used to be reserved for more expensive tiers.
