BL-CH4 MINI3

Methane Detection for DJI Dock 2

BLV BL-CH4 Mini is designed as a lightweight methane-detection payload for automated or semi-automated dock-based drone operations. Built on TDLAS technology and integrated with DJI Dock 2, it provides high-precision methane detection and mapping in a compact form that suits smaller aircraft. Its low weight, modest power draw, and dock-oriented design make it especially useful for recurring unmanned inspections across industrial sites and pipeline networks. It is a practical solution for operators who need methane monitoring within a more automated, lower-footprint workflow.

Dock 2 Integration

Seamlessly integrates with DJI Dock 2 and Matrice 3D or 3TD for recurring advanced methane inspections.

Compact Lightweight Design

Low-weight construction helps preserve flight efficiency on smaller dock-based aircraft.

TDLAS Methane Detection

Uses Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy for precise methane detection and concentration mapping.

Automated Inspection Workflow

Built for repeated unmanned inspection missions across pipelines, industrial sites, and other monitored assets.

Lower Inspection Cost

Helps reduce the cost and complexity of methane monitoring by supporting unattended drone operations.

Methane Mapping Capability

Designed not only to detect leaks but also to map methane concentrations more clearly across the site.

Compact methane detection for Dock 2

BL-CH4 MINI is a compact UAV methane detection sensor designed for DJI Dock 2 workflows, combining TDLAS-based sensing, low weight, and dock-ready integration for recurring remote inspection work.

DJI Dock 2 integration

The payload is designed to work with DJI Dock 2 and Matrice 3D or 3TD aircraft, making it suitable for repeat remote methane-monitoring missions.

TDLAS methane sensing

It uses Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy to support precise methane detection and concentration mapping from the air.

Compact lightweight design

Current product listings describe a lightweight dock-ready design around 220 g, helping preserve flight efficiency on smaller aircraft.

Built for recurring inspection work

The BL-CH4 MINI is positioned not just as a sensor, but as a practical tool for recurring unmanned methane inspections where smaller aircraft and lower operational overhead matter.

Up to 50 m detection

Public product pages list methane detection distance up to 50 metres, helping operators inspect assets from a safer stand-off range.

20 ms response time

A response time of 20 ms helps crews identify methane events quickly during active inspection work.

Clearer field assessment

By combining stand-off sensing with practical drone deployment, the payload helps teams assess suspected methane issues more efficiently across industrial sites and pipelines.

5 ppm·m sensitivity

Listed sensitivity of 5 ppm·m helps the sensor detect relatively small methane concentrations in professional inspection workflows.

E-Port payload interface

Product specifications list an E-Port interface and 2-axis gimbal stabilisation, helping the sensor integrate cleanly with compatible DJI aircraft.

Designed for compact dock ecosystems

The BL-CH4 MINI is also framed around low size and power draw, making it a more practical fit for smaller dock-based aircraft than larger methane payloads.

IP43 protection

Current specifications list IP43 protection, supporting professional outdoor use when conditions are managed appropriately.

Lower-cost remote monitoring

Public product descriptions position the payload as a way to reduce inspection cost and complexity by supporting more frequent remote methane monitoring from compact dock-based aircraft.
