DJI Manifold 3

DJI Manifold 3 | Edge AI Computing for Drone-Based Applications

The DJI Manifold 3 delivers up to 100 TOPS of AI computing power in a compact, lightweight form factor weighing just 120 grams. Unlocking advanced capabilities for flight control, gimbal coordination, and real-time data processing, the DJI Manifold 3 gives developers the flexibility and performance needed to power next-generation drone applications across energy inspections, public safety, and industrial automation.

DJI Manifold 3 Key Features

High Performance in a Compact Design

Despite its small size, the Manifold 3 is equipped with powerful onboard computing — including GPU and DLA acceleration — to support demanding algorithm models. It enhances drone efficiency while maintaining minimal impact on flight time, making it ideal for time-sensitive or compute-intensive missions.

Rugged and Reliable for Harsh Environments

Built for challenging field conditions, the DJI Manifold 3 carries an IP55 rating and operates reliably across a temperature range of -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F). Its advanced thermal design ensures stable performance at 25 W even in high-temperature environments up to 40°C.

Seamless Integration with PSDK V3

The Manifold 3 is fully compatible with DJI's Payload Software Development Kit (PSDK V3), enabling efficient communication with onboard sensors and access to hardware video codecs for high-speed video streaming. Developers can overlay LiDAR point clouds with AR visuals in the DJI Pilot 2 app or integrate custom payloads with ease.

Flexible Software and App Development

Third-party apps can be installed and upgraded locally via DJI Pilot 2 using a smartphone-like interface — no command lines or complex dependencies required. Developers can build and deploy their own tools across a range of use cases, from AI-based object detection to fully autonomous workflows.

Expanded Connectivity and Open Architecture

An onboard USB 3.0 Type-C port with Power Delivery supports external devices including sensors, USB drives, and NICs. Combined with PSDK-enabled 4G networking, developers benefit from low-latency communications and the ability to build robust, real-time drone applications.
