DJI Matrice 5TD.
More of the scene.
Native 1280 × 1024 thermal imaging, three visible cameras and integrated LiDAR. The purpose-built aircraft for DJI Dock 4.
Quotation only · Canadian configuration and availability confirmed in writing.Matrice 5TD.
The dock aircraft, precisely named.
DJI confirms Matrice 5TD as the aircraft for Dock 4. M5TD is shorthand; searches for Matrice 5, M5 T or M5T should not be treated as a separate compatible model announcement.
No handheld remote-controller flight. DJI’s FAQ explicitly excludes manual flight using a remote controller. Choose the operating model before choosing the aircraft: 5TD is part of a remote dock system.
Matrice 5TD.
Context, detail and heat.
Move between a wide scene, distant visible detail and thermal information. Three 50 MP visible cameras pair with a native 1280 × 1024 thermal sensor, a laser rangefinder and NIR illumination.
The 23.5 mm, 70 mm and 252 mm equivalent visible focal lengths give distinct views. DJI describes the tele view as 11×; its higher hybrid zoom figures include digital enlargement.
Native thermal. Clearly labelled.
That is the sensor resolution. 2560 × 2048 UHR output is a different processed mode, not a different native sensor. Compare real scene detail, field of view and exported radiometric data.
Temperature analysis depends on distance, emissivity and environmental conditions. The laser’s maximum 3,000 m normal-incidence range has specified reflectivity and visibility requirements; rain and fog reduce performance.
Define the load.
Plan the endurance.
The 2,600 g aircraft reference includes battery, propellers and microSD. DJI lists up to 450 g of payload and three accessory positions. Specify the fitted spotlight, speaker, parachute and mount on the quotation.
Up to 59 minutes is a windless, no-payload laboratory result at 15 m/s to 0% battery. Actual mission duration must include the fitted payload, conditions and a return/landing reserve.
Accessory use can change sensing performance. Consult the manual for the complete fitted configuration, operating temperatures and limits.
Quote the operation.
Not just the box.
Tell SkyFlow where the dock will go, what the aircraft must observe and how often it must fly. We’ll confirm the regional configuration, availability and proposed supply scope before an order.
Quotation only. Pricing, lead time, Canadian feature availability and included items require written confirmation. No automatic purchase or public MSRP is offered.
Ask for an itemized proposal.
Hardware: dock, Matrice 5TD, required O4 Ground Station, battery quantity and mounting/cabling.
Software and data: FlightHub 2 deployment, licences, storage, connectivity and integration requirements.
Site and service: electrical work, structural mounting, survey, commissioning, operator training and maintenance responsibilities.
Optional accessories: AL2D spotlight, AS2D speaker, AP1 parachute and accessory mount, where suitable and available. These are not promised as standard inclusions.
This is a quotation scope, not an in-the-box packing list. The final accepted quote determines exactly what SkyFlow supplies and which services are separate.

Before you specify Dock 4.
Which aircraft works with DJI Dock 4?
DJI confirms Matrice 5TD as the only compatible aircraft. Dock 4 is not a dock upgrade for Matrice 4TD, Matrice 4T, Mavic or Autel aircraft.
Is Matrice 5T a different aircraft from Matrice 5TD?
The confirmed Dock 4 aircraft in DJI’s launch, specification and support material is Matrice 5TD. M5TD is shorthand. Searches for Matrice 5, M5 T or M5T do not establish a separate compatible product; ask for the exact manufacturer model on your quote.
Can I fly Matrice 5TD with a handheld remote controller?
No. DJI’s Dock 4 FAQ states that Matrice 5TD does not support manual flight using a remote controller. Plan it as a remotely operated dock system with the required O4 Ground Station and supported software.
Does 25 seconds mean landing to takeoff?
No. DJI lists a battery swap under 25 seconds from fully closed cover to completed swap. Its separate operational turnaround specification is under 45 seconds from landing through swap to takeoff, both under controlled test conditions.
Is the O4 Ground Station optional?
No. DJI says Dock 4 must be used with the O4 Ground Station. The quotation must explicitly identify the station, mounting and cable scope; do not assume it is included in a dock-only line item.
Can I buy Dock 4 online from SkyFlow?
Dock 4 and Matrice 5TD are quotation only. SkyFlow will confirm the supplied regional configuration, availability, batteries, software and project scope in writing. No public price or delivery date is promised.
Does Dock 4 make BVLOS operations automatically permitted in Canada?
No. Select the applicable operating category, aircraft safety declarations, pilot credentials, operator arrangements and permissions for the intended mission. Canada’s Level 1 Complex pathway has specific conditions and RPOC requirements; other operations may require an SFOC-RPAS.
