We’ve got the biggest mobile release of the last year and a new Dock release, both of which support DJI's latest hardware releases.
Let’s dive into the mobile release first
Of course, we have release notes, but with over 50 items, it's best to stay here for the highlights.
DJI’s new Matrice 4 models are a very nice hardware package, so we’re happy to offer support for the M4E and M4T to Enterprise customers, including the laser range finder. Range finder support for older devices like the H30T is also available.
You can now make any mission terrain aware for greater safety and see the FPV in the mission preview. You’ll also be able to see Google tiles in the 3D view, making your planning easier and safer.
To keep the app up to date, you can now check for new releases directly inside the app. Waypoints can now be set to have zoom levels, converted to panoramas, and have the camera type changed.
For Enterprise customers using Asset Inspector, we now save detailed inspection logs to the cloud and synchronize them between devices for more reliable data organization, especially when syncing your images to AWS S3. Asset inspections can be viewed from the app, and asset names can be auto-filled. Orbits around assets now have a “cruise control” option for optimal speed control. Coded notes, also known as field notes, can be bound to a hotkey for quick entry in the field. Pilots will be notified when the last planned image in a collection has been captured.
Another prominent feature for Asset customers that starts with web configuration is the ability to work with an additional field, “optional” when uploading a set of assets. See the template for details, but the result is that you can use that field as a replacement for scope for sorting on the mobile - that means you can use pilot name, client ID, or any other useful descriptor to break up your data on your pilots’ screens and when synchronizing your data to AWS.
Enterprise users, if enabled by their administrator, will see pre-flight checklists on mobile (see web details below). This is a big step towards standardizing and simplifying safety checks across teams. Once flights are completed, you can download flight logs and see the details about the checklist completion on the web.
You’ll find many changes to parts of the interface to make Drone Harmony easier to use in the field, including improvements to sliders, filtering enhancements, and more. The gallery's performance is faster, RTK handling is improved, and you can even stream to YouTube!
Update for the Web app
You can now upload, create, and manage checklists for your organization in the web app. Once created, checklists will automatically be pushed out to all mobile users and available to them when they restart the app (if it is at least version 2.10.0).
As mentioned in the mobile notes, it's now possible to use an additional field in scopes to display data however you like and improve uploaded data structuring flexibility.
Middle points between waypoints now have their own right-click menu, and navigational points show the direction they face. Meanwhile, moving data between accounts is easier thanks to the bulk download of DHMs for Enterprise accounts.

Now, for Dock users
We’re excited to offer Dock 3 support now, which includes support for the new Dock drone models M4D and M4DT and their new features, such as the laser range finder.
In addition, you can now use existing drone images to create a new mission, and we’ll respect the zoom level from the images. This means that precise recreation of flights that include specific targets is now possible. Perhaps you want to repeatedly fly a mission that provides a general overview of a substation, but also zoom in on particular circuit breakers or transformers. Now you can simply fly once (manual or mix planned and manual) to capture precisely what you need, then use the resulting images to create a repeatable mission for the future.
Dock also offers a few more waypoint-based controls now. You can stop and start videos at a waypoint and set the camera zoom level, in addition to other recent updates, such as setting waypoints as ineligible for Return to Home and adjusting speed between waypoints.
Working on an on-prem version of DH Dock? Now you can set your password policy, and still use your preferred SSO solution.
