In the fast-changing realm of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), DJI has been leading the way, continuously innovating drone technology. Here’s what we have learned about the upcoming launch of the Dock 2 in the North American market.
One noticeable enhancement is the significant weight reduction of 68% and size reduction of 75% in Dock 2 in comparison to Dock 1. Weighing just 34kg (75 lbs.), Dock 2 can be easily transported by a team of two.
Like its predecessor, Dock 2 maintains an IP55 rating, ensuring durability against harsh weather conditions, dust, and water. In the event of unfavorable weather during a flight mission, Dock 2 can quickly abort the mission, reducing potential flight risks. With dual RTK antennas, Dock 2 guarantees accurate positioning for a returning aircraft, reducing dependence on its own RTK system.
Advantages of the Dock 2:
- Easier and quicker setup thanks to its reduced size and weight
- Extended flight range achieved through an enhanced transmission system and increased flight time
- Inclusion of Photogrammetry Mapping feature in the mechanical shutter version (M3D)
