DJI Manifold 3

DJI Manifold 3

DJI Manifold 3 is a compact onboard computer designed to unlock more advanced drone capabilities without adding unnecessary weight. Delivering up to 100 TOPS of computing power while weighing just 120 g, it is built for seamless integration with the DJI Matrice 400 platform. It enhances flight control, gimbal operation, and camera handling, making it a great choice for demanding aerial tasks such as infrastructure inspections, public safety missions, environmental monitoring, and more. With its open ecosystem and developer-friendly environment, Manifold 3 gives enthusiasts and advanced users the freedom to build tailored applications for complex flight scenarios.

Compact Size, Serious Performance

Despite its small footprint, DJI Manifold 3 offers up to 100 TOPS of processing power. Equipped with components such as a GPU and DLA, it can efficiently run algorithmic models and accelerate AI-powered tasks. At only 120 g, it has minimal impact on flight time and drone performance, making it a smart upgrade for users who need powerful onboard computing in a lightweight format.

Built for Tough Conditions

Manifold 3 is ready for challenging environments. With an IP55 protection rating and an operating temperature range from -20°C to 50°C, it can perform reliably in both freezing cold and intense heat. Its efficient cooling system supports stable operation even at 40°C with 25 W power consumption, helping you stay productive when conditions are less than ideal.

PSDK Integration and Fast Data Access

Compatible with PSDK V3, the module enables smooth integration with a wide range of drone sensors and payloads. Native support for hardware codecs also allows fast access to video streaming, improving payload control and giving users more flexibility when adapting the platform to specific mission requirements.

Easy App Installation

DJI Manifold 3 supports local installation of third-party software without the need for terminal-based setup or complicated programming dependencies. Using DJI Pilot 2, the process feels similar to installing a standard mobile app, making deployment quick, simple, and user-friendly.

More Possibilities with 4G and LiDAR Data

Thanks to PSDK support, Manifold 3 can directly work with 4G connectivity to reduce communication latency. Users can also take advantage of LiDAR point cloud data from the DJI Matrice 400 and overlay AR visualizations in the DJI Pilot 2 app. This opens up exciting new options for advanced aerial workflows in complex operating environments.

USB-C 3.0 for Expanded Connectivity

The USB-C 3.0 port with Power Delivery support makes it easy to connect external accessories such as USB storage devices, network adapters, and additional sensors. This added flexibility helps users customize their drone setup for specialized tasks and evolving project needs.

Open Platform for Innovation

DJI Manifold 3 is more than just a high-performance computing unit. It is also an open platform for developers and advanced drone users who want to create automated solutions for data collection, processing, and mission execution. This makes it especially attractive for projects that require precision, efficiency, and room for customization.
