Revolutionise Precision With The DJI D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station
DJI D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station
Introduction
In the fast-paced world of drone technology, DJI continues to lead with groundbreaking innovations. The DJI D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station sets a new benchmark, combining high-precision RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) functionality, relay station capabilities, and advanced rover mode features. Designed to support next-generation aerial operations, it offers exceptional accuracy and expanded operational range, especially when paired with the new DJI Matrice 4 Series.
Key Features of the DJI D-RTK 3
1. Base Station Mode – High-Precision Ground Support
In base station mode, the D-RTK 3 delivers centimetre-level positioning by broadcasting RTK differential signals to multiple drones.
GNSS Support: Five GNSS systems and 19 frequency bands ensure reliable signal reception.
Wide Coverage: Operates effectively within a 10 km radius.
Calibration Flexibility: Supports various calibration modes, including Network RTK, PPP (Precise Point Positioning), and manual configuration. Using PPP, the D-RTK 3 can obtain dm-level calibration accuracy without a network connection. PPP only currently supports BeiDou PPP-B2b. DJI will expand the support for more GNSS systems in a future firmware update.
PPK Compatibility: Works seamlessly with DJI Terra for efficient post-processing.
2. Rover Mode – Advanced Ground Control Point (GCP) Collection
The rover mode is ideal for mapping and surveying, enabling direct point measurement without third-party tools.
Tilt Compensation: Built-in inertial navigation system (IMU) allows precise measurements, even when handheld at an angle.
Streamlined Workflow: Exports GCP/CP data in JSON and CSV formats for easy integration with DJI Terra.
Accuracy: Automatically matches GCP data to ensure precise aerial modelling.
3. Relay Mode – Extended Communication Range
In relay mode, the D-RTK 3 significantly increases the drone’s operational range by improving the video transmission link.
OcuSync 4 Technology: Enables a maximum transmission distance of 25 km.
Dynamic Adjustments: Real-time analysis of signal obstructions allows for optimal positioning, especially in urban or forested environments.
Emergency Deployments: Can be mounted on drones like the DJI Matrice 350 for airborne relay support during critical missions. Special mounting hardware is required for this workflow.
Why Choose the DJI D-RTK 3?
Compact and Portable: Weighs just 1.26 kg and features a compact design, making it easy to transport and set up.
Long Battery Life: Up to 7 hours in base station mode, 4 hours in relay mode, and 10 hours in rover mode, ensuring continuous operation.
Rugged Build: Built to withstand extreme conditions (IP67 rating and -20°C to 55°C operating range).
Enhanced Compatibility: Optimised for the DJI Matrice 4 Series currently, but it can be used with some older generation of DJI drones such as the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Series using broadcast mode 5. You can still use D-RTK 3 in rover mode for GCP collection with the DJI Enterprise app.
Applications Across Industries
Surveying and Mapping: Provides precise GCP data collection for accurate terrain modelling.
Public Safety: Enhances communication and positioning during emergency response operations in complex environments.
Infrastructure Inspection: Expands transmission range for drones performing inspections over long distances.
Summary
The DJI D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station is more than just an RTK system—it’s a game-changer for professionals seeking accuracy, versatility, and reliability. Whether you're using it as a base station, rover, or relay, this powerhouse improves your drone mission versatility to new heights.
