The DJI RTK 3 Tripod and Survey Pole Kit is the deployment hardware for the DJI RTK 3 Multifunctional Station. Tripod for stable base setup, self-locking carbon fiber survey pole for GCP collection and rover work, and a carry-friendly form factor that fits in a standard equipment case.
This is the same tripod and pole kit included in our DJI Matrice 4E Precision Mapping & Surveying Bundle. If you already purchased the full bundle, you have this kit. This standalone listing is for survey operators who own the D-RTK 3 base station separately, who need a replacement tripod and pole, or who are expanding their setup with a second deployment system.

Standard delivery is 5 to 7 business days.

What This Kit Does
For survey work, the base station and rover both need stable, repeatable hardware. The D-RTK 3 broadcasts corrections from a known position, which means the position has to actually be known and the station has to actually be stable. The tripod handles the base side. The survey pole handles the rover side and on-site GCP collection.
- Self-locking survey pole for quick height adjustments without fiddling with thumb screws in the field
- Dual-lock tripod with leveling base for setup on uneven ground
- Carbon fiber pole construction for weight-to-rigidity ratio that matters on long survey days
- Direct mount for the D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station without adapters or workarounds
- Field-ready for control point collection, check point work, GCP marking, and rover-based measurement
What's in the Box
- 1 Self-locking Survey Pole (carbon fiber, 125 to 200 cm)
- 1 Dual-lock Tripod with leveling system
- Carry bag for field transport

Already Included in the M4E Mapping Bundle
If you purchased the DJI Matrice 4E Precision Mapping & Surveying Bundle, this tripod and survey pole kit is already in your order. You don't need to buy it separately.
Order this standalone kit if:
- You bought the D-RTK 3 base station separately (without the M4E bundle) and need the tripod and pole
- You need a replacement tripod or pole after damage in the field
- You're expanding to a second deployment setup for parallel survey crews
- You're upgrading from an older base station that didn't include this hardware
If you're starting from zero and need both the drone and the survey setup, the M4E Mapping Bundle is the most cost-effective path. It includes the M4E aircraft, controller, 4 batteries, D-RTK 3 base station, this tripod and pole kit, charging hub, storage case, and a 1-year DJI Terra license.

Safety Considerations
When deploying the tripod and survey pole at full height, verify the setup area is free from overhead obstructions, electrical lines, and tipping hazards. Survey poles raised to maximum height (200 cm) become significant lightning attractants in open terrain during electrical storms. Always check weather conditions before deployment in exposed areas.
For long-duration deployments on uneven terrain, the leveling system on the tripod requires adjustment to maintain stability. The dual-lock leg system holds securely but isn't a substitute for proper setup on stable ground.
Protection and Coverage
This is genuine DJI hardware. If your tripod or survey pole arrives with a manufacturing defect, contact us within 72 hours of delivery and we'll coordinate a replacement at no cost to you under our DOA policy.
After the 72-hour window, manufacturing defects fall under DJI's standard accessory return process if applicable. We can help facilitate that process if needed.
