Description
Emlid Reach M2 PPK UAV Mapping Kit – Dual Band
This package contains an Emlid Reach M2 multi-band GNSS receiver onboard the aircraft and a Reach RS2+ Base to enable centimeter level accuracy for your deliverables using the Aeromappers or VT-Naut in PPK mode (Post Processing Kinematic).
Available as a stand alone kit if you want to install to other drones, or delivered installed into an Aeromapper or VT Naut fixed wing drones.
The kit includes:
- Reach RS2+ with case and strap
- Reach M2 with Multi-band GNSS antenna
- Reach M+/M2 SMA antenna adapter cable 0.5m
- USB Type-C cable
- Micro-USB cable
- Includes hot shoe adapter
Reach connects directly to the camera hot shoe port, which is synced with the shutter. This solves the problem of positioning, as the time and coordinates of each photo are logged with a resolution of less than a microsecond.
Enable PPK for your drone: With Reach RS2+ base and Reach M2 onboard module
Centimeter-accurate positioning: For accurate aerial mapping with fewer GCPs
NTRIP and RTCM3: Supported protocols to send and receive corrections
Save your time and reach remote areas
Reach onboard a drone allows you to drastically cut the number of ground control points (GCPs) this simplifies the setup process on-site and accurately maps even remote areas.
Why camera synchronization is so important?
Usually, the autopilot triggers the camera and records the coordinate it has at that moment. When the drone is flying at 20 m/s and GPS works at 5 Hz, that means your autopilot will only have position readings every 4 m, which is not suitable for precise georeferencing. There is also always a delay between the trigger and the actual moment the photo is taken.
Reach eliminates the delay
Reach solves the problem of positioning by connecting directly to the camera hot shoe port, which is synced with the shutter. The time and coordinates of each photo are logged with a resolution of less than a microsecond. This method allows GCPs to only be used to check your accuracy.
