Having the RTK module on the Phantom 4 RTL, the real-time centimeter-level position is vastly upgraded allowing for a more accurate image metadata. In areas that can cause interference such as dense cities and heavily forested areas, the Phantom 4 RTK can thrive as it can provide integrity to the most precise data capture for mapping, surveying and inspection work.

Fit the Phantom 4 RTK to any work flow through

• D-RTK 2 Mobile Station
• Network Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP) using a 4G dongle or WiFi hotspot
• Satellite observation data to be used for Post Processed Kinematics (PPK)

 

Gather Accurate Data with TimeSync
To take full advantage of the Phantom 4 RTK’s positioning modules, the new TimeSync system was created to continually align the camera, flight controller, RTK module and camera. TimeSync also ensures that each photo uses the most accurate metadata and fixes the positioning data to the center of the CMOS, thus optimizes the results from the photogrammetric methods- ultimately allowing the image to achieve centimeter-level positioning data.

Ultra-Precise Imaging System
The Phantom 4 RTK can now capture the best image data possible due to the Phantom 4 Pro’s camera featuring a 1-inch, 20 -megapixel sensor. With a built in mechanical shutter, mapping missions and regular data capture are seamless; the Phantom 4 RTK can move while taking pictures  without the risk of any rolling shutter blur- thus preserving the integrity of the photos.  The high resolution of its camera, the Phantom 4 RTK can achieve a Ground Sample Distance (GSD) of 2.74 cm at 100 meters flight altitude. Phantom 4 RTK accuracy is unparalleled through its intense process. The camera lens goes through a rigorous calibration process where tangential and radial lens distortion are measured carefully. Afterwards, the distortion parameters are gathered and saved into each image’s metadata, the image then goes through a post-processing software to uniquely adjust for every user.

Purpose-Built Flight Planning Application
With the new GS TRK app, intelligent control gives the pilots two different planning modes when using the Phantom 4 RTK – Photogrammetry and Waypoint Flight, in addition to a more traditional flight mode. Pilots can now select the drone’s flight path while adjusting overlap rate, altitude, camera parameters, speed, and more, offering an automated mapping and/or inspection workflow with their flight planning.

The GS RTK App was designed with its “users first” mentality  offers a full range of features made specifically to cater to mapping and inspection workflows. The app also has implemented direct loading of KML area files for in-office flight planning, a brand new shutter priority mode to keep exposure consistent across all photos, as well as a strong wind alarm to warn pilots of any adverse or extreme conditions.

Mobile SDK Supported
The Phantom 4 RTK is compatible with the DJI Mobile SDK, which opens up its functions to customization and automation through a mobile device. (Coming Soon)

OcuSync Transmission System
Users can enjoy extremely stable and reliable HD image and video transmission at distances of up to 7 kilometers, which is perfect for mapping larger sites.

Seamless Compatibility with D-RTK 2 Mobile Station
Operators can support your Phantom 4 RTK missions with the D-RTK 2 Mobile Station – providing users with real-time differential data to the drone and forming an accurate surveying solution. The OcuSync 2 Transmission system and the Mobile Station’s rugged design ensures that operators can gain centimeter-level accurate data with their Phantom 4 RTK in any condition.

Start Mapping Today
With an easy method to collect RTK Data (RTK Network or D-RTK 2 Mobile Station) and a built-in flight planning app (GS RTK), pilots have a full solution for any surveying, inspection, or mapping workflow right out of the box.
