Dock Settings

The Dock tab configures the physical docking station associated with the currently selected device. Changes apply to that dock only and are pushed to the hardware on save.

Set the geographic position of the dock so the aircraft knows where to return.

Use Fetch from drone to populate latitude/longitude from live telemetry, or Set on map to click a point on the map view.


Dock Speed & Altitude

Field Range Description
Dock Location Speed 0–15 m/s Maximum speed when returning to dock
Dock Location Altitude 0–120 m Altitude the aircraft climbs to before beginning its return

Safe Location

A Safe Location is an alternate landing zone used by failsafe routines when landing at the dock is not possible.

Field Description
Safe Location Latitude Decimal degrees latitude
Safe Location Longitude Decimal degrees longitude
Safe Location Altitude Descent altitude above the safe location (m)

Use Fetch from drone to use current aircraft position, or Set on map to click a point.


DJI Dock 3 compatibility

Some fields are disabled when a DJI Dock 3 is selected because that hardware manages those parameters internally. Disabled rows are visually greyed out.

After saving dock location coordinates, verify the map pin has moved to the correct position before launching a mission.
