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.
Key features
- 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.
