Today’s episode is brought to you by Drone U. Join forces with us for an unparalleled 4-day experience: a three-day intensive boot camp and one-day personalized Flight Mastery Coaching session, set amidst the breathtaking backdrop of Colorado. We plan to introduce and demonstrate multiple information-gathering techniques through interactive dialogue and step-by-step guidance, highlighting effective ways to process the acquired data. From Pix4D Mapper to Pix4D React, then on to DroneDeploy and Optelos. Students will engage in a comprehensive series of seven workouts designed to familiarize them with the workflow required to produce multiple deliverables. What strategies will we employ to chart and create the layout for this coach’s site? Join our community today!
Can pilots opt for the Phantom 4 RTK over the Phantom 4 Professional or v2, and is the RTK capable of handling specific flight operations?
Here’s an improved version of the text: Our inquiry originates from James, who recently purchased a P4 RTK drone and is seeking guidance on whether it can still be utilized without its RTK module in order to integrate third-party capabilities and conduct specific flight missions.
Thanks for the query James. We delve into the feasibility of leveraging Real-Time Kinematics (RTK) technology for customized mapping missions, as specified by James, while also discussing potential drawbacks and strategies that pilot expertise can employ to minimize those risks. We discuss the orbital mission concepts proposed by James, exploring ways to leverage the Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) technology to successfully execute these endeavors?
Recently, our team has explored emerging software solutions allowing pilots to create engaging, visually striking films showcasing orbital activities, yet these tools are often limited by functional constraints.
Join us today to discover more about how to harness the full potential of the P4 RTK, learning effective strategies for optimizing your flight operations and achieving unparalleled results from your aerial missions.

What are some essential tips to consider when purchasing a DJI Phantom drone?
The Real-Time Kinematics (RTK) system’s performance in mapping applications is contingent upon the quality of the reference station data and the accuracy of the initial conditions. However, even with precise reference station data and accurate initial conditions, the RTK system can be compromised by factors such as atmospheric delays, multipath effects, and receiver noise.
In this context, pilot expertise plays a vital role in ensuring the successful deployment and operation of the RTK system. A skilled pilot can optimize the configuration of the system, troubleshoot issues that arise during deployment, and make critical decisions regarding navigation and mapping.
For instance, a pilot with extensive experience in survey-grade GNSS applications can effectively mitigate the effects of atmospheric delays by implementing techniques such as ionospheric and tropospheric corrections. Similarly, a pilot familiar with multipath mitigation strategies can minimize errors caused by reflected signals.
Moreover, a seasoned pilot can recognize and respond to issues that may arise during deployment, such as signal blockages or equipment malfunctions, thereby ensuring the integrity of the mapping data. By leveraging their expertise in GNSS technology and surveying principles, pilots can unlock the full potential of RTK systems for mapping applications.
Pilots can utilize their Phantom RTK drone for orbital actions by first calibrating the drone’s GPS and RTK systems to ensure accurate positioning and control. Then, they should set the drone to “Orbit” mode, which allows it to maintain a consistent distance from the subject while moving around it in a circular pattern.
To initiate an orbit, pilots can use the DJI GO app to select the desired altitude, speed, and radius for their orbit. The drone will then begin moving in a circle around the subject at the set altitude and speed, allowing pilots to capture high-quality aerial footage or photos from different angles.
For more complex orbital actions, such as following a moving subject or capturing specific camera angles, pilots can use the app’s “Follow” mode to have the drone track the subject while maintaining its position.
