SAR pilots will probably recognize this problem…

You’re rolling to a callout.
Your Matrice 4T batteries are in the back seat.
The charging hub is sliding around, cables are everywhere, and you’re trying not to dump $2,000 worth of batteries on the floor while driving.

I got tired of dealing with that.

So I designed a Charging Dock that holds the charger securely and keeps the whole setup organized while you’re heading to the mission.

The dock itself is just the mounting platform — you add your DJI hub or charger.

It can be used:
• Freestanding on a seat or table
• Mounted to a DJI Power 1000 for a full mobile charging station
• In a vehicle, command trailer, or field base

The goal was simple:
Make it easier to swap batteries and keep charging organized while responding to a mission.

Always curious how other teams handle charging and battery management during callouts.

🚁 Matrice 30 / 30T Pilots — How are you carrying your TB30 batteries?

Anyone flying the DJI Matrice 30 or 30T knows the struggle…
Those TB30 batteries are big, heavy, and awkward to juggle during battery swaps. And since the aircraft requires two batteries per flight, you’re constantly managing multiple packs in the field.

That’s exactly why the sUAS Ops Battery Caddy™ was designed.

✅ Carry 2, 4, or 8 TB30 batteries securely
✅ Keeps batteries organized and off the ground during swaps
✅ Ventilated design helps recently flown batteries cool before charging
✅ No exposed metal hardware to eliminate short-risk
✅ Built with heavy-duty 3D print settings for real field durability

One feature SAR and public-safety teams love:
You can flip used batteries upside down in the caddy so your team instantly knows which batteries are depleted and which are ready to fly.

Perfect for:
• Search & Rescue
• Public Safety
• Inspection teams
• Anyone running multi-battery missions

💲 Starting at $19.95
