A few months ago, we were introduced to the concept of limitless potential with DJI Dock 2’s Multi-Dock Planning, initially available only in mainland China. The promise was to redefine drone operations by allowing a single drone to utilise multiple docks as checkpoints rather than a home base.
Thanks to the recent firmware update, Matrice 3D Series drones can now hop from one dock to another, opening up a world of possibilities for extensive area coverage. Imagine a single drone seamlessly transitioning between docks, continuously charging and redeploying, and handling large-scale operations with ease. This feature is a game-changer, especially in a vast country such as Australia where traditional multirotor operations might have previously seemed out of reach.
What’s New in the Latest Update?
This new firmware update isn’t just about multi-dock functionality. Here’s a quick rundown of the additional enhancements you can expect:
- Multi-Dock Operations: Enable your DJI M3D/M3TD drone to take off from one dock and land at another, perfect for tasks covering long distances.
- 4G Private Deployment: Configurable IP addresses for aircraft and dock offer enhanced flexibility and network control.
- Enhanced RTH Logic: The updated logic now triggers Return-to-Home (RTH) if the dock network connection fails during flight, ensuring more reliable operations.
- Video Enhancements: Support for embedding subtitles in video files captured by the aircraft, and the ability to download and view these files with subtitles on your PC.
- Optimised Vision Detection: Improved vision detection for propellers enhances safety and operational efficiency.
