Compact Mapping Drone for Dock 3 Operations, Aircraft Only
The Matrice 4D is DJI's compact mapping aircraft built for DJI Dock 3 unattended operations. This SKU is the bare aircraft. Controller and battery sold separately. It pairs a 4/3 CMOS wide camera, a 48 MP medium tele camera, and a 48 MP tele camera in a compact airframe purpose-built for repeated automated mapping missions from a fixed dock.
What Matters Most
Survey-grade imagery in a compact airframe. Wide camera with mechanical shutter and 4/3 CMOS, 20 MP for orthomosaic and 3D modeling. Medium tele and tele cameras (both 48 MP) for inspection detail at distance. Designed to deliver the same image quality on every automated flight.
Built for Dock 3 automation. Run unattended scheduled missions for construction monitoring, site inspection, or asset documentation. Fly the same route, capture the same data, day after day, without sending a pilot to the field.
Long endurance. Up to 54 minutes in forward flight, 47 minutes of hover. Enough to cover meaningful mapping area on a single battery.
Standard sensing. Omnidirectional binocular vision system plus 3D infrared sensor at the base of the aircraft for everyday obstacle avoidance.
Optional Obstacle Sensing Module accessory. Adds rotating LiDAR plus millimeter-wave radar for 12 mm wire-level obstacle avoidance at speeds up to 15 m/s, supporting safe automated routes near infrastructure. Sold separately.
All-weather operation. IP55 rated. Anti-ice propellers handle cold-weather flying. Operates in winds up to 26.8 mph (12 m/s).
Core Mission Fit
Automated mapping and surveying from Dock 3
Construction site progress monitoring
Multi-site infrastructure documentation
Mining and aggregates volume monitoring
Urban planning and 3D modeling
Geospatial mapping and orthophoto generation
Water resource and dam monitoring

Included in the Box
(1) Matrice 4D Aircraft
(1) Pair of CW Low-Noise Anti-Ice Propellers
(1) Pair of CCW Low-Noise Anti-Ice Propellers
(1) Set of Screws and Washers
Battery sold separately. Remote controller sold separately. Required for operation:
Compatibility
Battery and Charging
Controller
Optional Sensing
Docking System
RTK and Positioning
Software
Best Way to Think About It
This SKU is for fleet expansion when mapping is the mission and thermal isn't required. Buy the standalone 4D aircraft when you already have a Dock 3 deployed and need additional mapping aircraft, or when you already own an RC Plus 2 controller.
For a complete standalone kit including the RC Plus 2 controller, look for that variant separately.
For thermal-equipped operations, look at the Matrice 4TD (compact thermal) or Matrice 4T (M4 series with thermal). For the broadest payload flexibility and L3 LiDAR support, look at the Matrice 400.
