DJI Dock 4 (Dock Only)
Dock 4 swaps in a fully charged battery in under 25 seconds from cover closure to battery insertion, with the aircraft back in the air inside a 45-second total turnaround, replacing the 27-minute charge cycle every dock before it has run. This listing is the dock unit on its own, aircraft and controller sold separately, for a fleet adding a Dock 4 installation to a site that already has a compatible Matrice 5TD and O4 Ground Station, or buying the hardware as separate line items rather than a fixed combo. An EU-Type Examination Certificate covering Class C5 and C6 UAS operation under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/945 applies to Dock 4 and the Matrice 5TD together, relevant to a UK or EU operator building a compliant automated deployment rather than assembling one from unrated parts.
Battery-Swap Charging
A swap triggers only when the difference between the depleted battery and the highest-charged battery exceeds 10% and that highest battery sits above 90%, timed to the aircraft landing, before a scheduled operation starts, or an hour ahead of an automated mission. The dock charges two batteries from separate sets simultaneously, 15% to 95% in 27 minutes, and holds up to three batteries across four compartments ready to rotate in. Wireless charging runs as a backup path only, taking two hours to reach 95% from below 90%, not the primary charging method, relevant to know before planning a schedule that assumes battery-swap speed throughout.
Automated Missions and FlightHub 2 Integration
Dock 4 runs scheduled and on-demand missions without a pilot on site, holding position over inspection routes, perimeter patrols or incident response calls with a battery always ready to go. FlightHub 2's Wayline Copilot and Workflow Copilot generate flight routes and automated workflows from a typed prompt, running safety checks on altitude, speed, wayline validity and hardware compatibility before anything actually flies, cutting the manual route-building work a dock deployment otherwise needs per site. Drone as First Responder automated dispatch integrates through FH Sync and OpenAPI 2.0, relevant to a business or agency running its own CAD or SCADA system alongside DJI's platform rather than working entirely inside it.
Built for Multi-Site Fleets
A fleet already running a Matrice 5TD and O4 Ground Station at one site and expanding to a second or third location adds a Dock 4 here without repurchasing the aircraft and controller setup each time, the aircraft-side cost only paid once per fleet rather than once per site. Input power up to 2,000W and operating temperature down to -40°C mean the dock itself handles a wider range of installation sites than Dock 3, worth checking against each new site's available circuit before committing. Total weight of 66kg, excluding batteries and aircraft, is the figure to plan a mounting base and delivery access around.
Installation and Site Planning
The 2,000W input power figure is the one most likely to need checking against a site's existing electrical supply before ordering, Dock 4 draws more than double Dock 3's 800W maximum, so a site wired for the older dock may need an upgraded circuit before installation. Dimensions run to 1750×640×550mm with the cover open and 639×640×836mm closed, the figures to plan clearance and mounting base around rather than assume parity with Dock 3's slightly different footprint. IP56 protection and a -40°C to 50°C operating range cover permanent outdoor installation across most UK and European climates, and a 12 m/s maximum landing wind speed is the ceiling to check against a specific site's typical conditions before committing to an exposed or coastal location.
Compatibility and What You'll Also Need
Dock 4 pairs exclusively with the Matrice 5TD, DJI's dock-specific airframe distinct from the standalone Matrice 4E, Matrice 4T and Matrice 400 covered elsewhere on this site. Unlike Dock 3, which carries its own RTK base station built into the dock housing, Dock 4 moves that function out to a separate DJI O4 Ground Station, and that ground station ships with the Matrice 5TD rather than with this dock. A fleet buying this standalone listing needs a Matrice 5TD, with its O4 Ground Station, already in hand or ordered alongside it, call the team to confirm the right combination for a new site before ordering the dock on its own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this listing include the Matrice 5TD aircraft?
No, this is the Dock 4 unit on its own. The Matrice 5TD, its controller setup and the DJI O4 Ground Station are sold separately or as part of the combined Dock 4 and Matrice 5TD Combo listing.
Can I run this dock without an O4 Ground Station?
No, Dock 4 relies on the DJI O4 Ground Station for RTK and ground transmission, unlike Dock 3 which has RTK built into the dock itself. The O4 Ground Station ships with the Matrice 5TD, not with this dock.
Does Dock 4 work with the Matrice 4TD?
No, Dock 4 pairs exclusively with the Matrice 5TD.
Why would I buy the dock on its own rather than the combo?
A fleet adding a second or third Dock 4 site that already owns a compatible Matrice 5TD and O4 Ground Station, or managing aircraft and dock purchases as separate budget items, buys this listing rather than a fixed combo.
What's the difference between Dock 4 and Dock 3?
Dock 4 swaps a battery in under 25 seconds against Dock 3's 27-minute charge cycle, needs up to 2,000W of input power against Dock 3's 800W, and moves RTK out to a separate O4 Ground Station rather than keeping it built into the dock.
Is Dock 4 weatherproof for permanent outdoor installation?
Yes, it carries an IP56 rating and operates from -40°C to 50°C, with a 12 m/s maximum landing wind speed.
What power supply does a site need for Dock 4?
Up to 2,000W. Check this against the site's existing circuit before ordering, particularly if it previously ran a Dock 3 installation at 800W.
Does Dock 4 support automated dispatch like a Drone as First Responder programme?
Yes, Drone as First Responder automated dispatch integrates through FH Sync and OpenAPI 2.0, letting a business or agency trigger a mission from its own CAD or SCADA system rather than through DJI's platform alone.
