PHANTOM 4 RTK | Everything You Should Know | FULL REVIEW AND TEST

[@tadamb1]

The non-locking tripod legs is actually perfectly normal for survey stuff. It allow them to adjust for position & leveling when it's necessary to set up perfectly over a control point.

[@SteelCityDrones]

tabamb1 THE RTK base station has to be perfectly level at all times not just when setting it up over a control point. During the testing for this video we found the tripod too easy move with the lack of locking legs. It is actually much easier to level a tripod when you have the ability to adjust each leg independently. Go Professional makes a RTK kit for the M210 RTK V1 model that includes a tripod with adjustable legs and it works great for our clients. DJI could have done a much better job with the P4Pro RTK base station tripod.

Dear sir do you use DJI Tara and how to export results in other formats eg I want you use my results in Autocad thanks

[@Dababijesus]

This is awesome 👏

[@fosacl1776]

Is there any training you can offer in Hong Kong?

[@personaldronerepair6141]

Very impressive results .

[@musansombo7590]

Can it connect to the base of other survey equipment such as Trimble 5700?

[@SteelCityDrones]

Hello Musa unfortunately it can not connect to other survey equipment and or rovers.

[@musansombo7590]

@@SteelCityDrones Thank you for the feedback. Can you please recommend an RTK compatible drone model that can be linked to a third-party RTK system (Trimble) that I can use for high level mapping and surveying? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

[@SteelCityDrones]

@@musansombo7590 That's a tough one. I don't know of any like that.

[@paulkoren1932]

not in RTK, but you can use your own base GPS station in PPK mode. Just collect data, convert to rinex format and post-process in the KLAU GNSS software to get survey grade photo coordinates

[@Erdal_Gumus]

Just an excellent review, many thanks, guys. I have a question. Can I use DJI RTK Drone with a cadastral CORS RTK like Trimble R10 GNSS or it only connects to its own device

[@SteelCityDrones]

Thanks. Unfortunately no external GNSS can connect to the Phantom 4 RTK.

[@Erdal_Gumus]

@@SteelCityDrones Sad to hear that. But I suppose I can still connect to a cors network by inserting a sim card to remote controller bypassing its own ground control unit

[@SteelCityDrones]

@@Erdal_Gumus You only need a SIM card if you can't get a hot spot from your phone. But yes you can use NTRIP with the remote and not need the Ground station.

How much area cover a Dji phantom 4 pro drone in Single battery???

[@avevging5164]

if dont connect to base station, it will be like phantom 4 pro navigation ?

[@SteelCityDrones]

If its not connected to a base station or NTRIP it will use the internal consumer grade GPS for navigation. The same one that is in the standard Phantom 4 Pro.

[@avevging5164]

@@SteelCityDrones thanks for answer.

[@marcomanaog30]

Can this drone be able to fly while raining?

[@SteelCityDrones]

No the m300 is the only survey grade drone that has a survey grade camera that can fly in the rain.

[@paulcusick8833]

The wind stability test shows great stability for the P4P RTK. Does this need the connection to be made with the D-RTK2 base station. I am considering a P4P RTK with aeropoints to process PPK. and not using the D-RTK2 base station. In that case would the P4P RTK have the improved stability over the P4Pro in the wind?

[@jamespong6588]

Are the better wind handling results due to rtk or due to other factors? What if you had only gnss on?

[@SteelCityDrones]

We cover that in the video.

[@jamespong6588]

@@SteelCityDrones Thanks, I will rewatch, English is not my native language, I own this drone, I had it for a year in a box and finally got around to use it. Nice video btw, kind regards.

[@Jalidin84]

Whether the Timesync system is run on a different software after taking pictures or is automated so we can immediately get accurate photos?

[@SteelCityDrones]

NTRIP is correcting the location and putting the correct information on the pictures.

[@Jalidin84]

@@SteelCityDrones Means that with NTRIP we can immediately get accurate and correct image results without additional software and process it on the computer again right?

[@madeinmaharashtra615]

Can i shoot RTK in my phantom 4advance pro

[@SteelCityDrones]

Do you mean can you use RTK in my Phantom 4 PRO? The answer is no, you can't add on RTK to an existing system.

[@n1wcf]

I hope to be adding an RTK to my inventory soon.

[@BlackSkyMusicTV]

the rtk is for making maps so if you want it for recoridng videos and pictures stay with the 4 pro .

[@Renisauce]

Is the drone RTK capable of taking NTRIP live corrections on its own, or would you use the D-RTK unit for that and use that as a local correction reference for the drone?

[@allcompgeotecnologia2276]

Of course, you can yse just NTRIP correction, which is called "Custom RTK" and needs internet connection. Regards

[@allanjarrettbasi78]

tried this today, it would be great if anyone of you guys can suggest any good software which could be used for processing the photo data.

[@BlackSkyMusicTV]

i dont understand, why is the ground station for?

[@SteelCityDrones]

As we mention in the video you need a base station for RTK service to work. The base station can be a networked station that broadcasts over the internet or one that you purchase that you put on a tripod where you fly.

[@mactoptopografia5956]

hello, if you are working in a traverse zone, it is normal to park the d-rtk base on a beanch mark or still leave the d-rtk base of the drone at any point. if I am working on a project with already defined coordinates. thank you.

[@SteelCityDrones]

THE DRTK does not need moved once its setup as long as it maintains line of sight with the sky and also line of sight with the Phantom 4 aircraft.

[@mactoptopografia5956]

2:32 - you fly with gimbal protection.. :D Really?

[@SteelCityDrones]

We were trying to get quick broll footage of the aircraft and were in a rush to meet our timeline and overlooked the back foam piece. The main plastic gimbal protector was removed. Overall this video took 80 msn hours to complete to give you free tech support.

[@reneclough2445]

Has anyone here used the P4 RTK with Propeller Aeropoints? How was the accuracy and what was the workflow like? We have the aeropoints and just wondering if we should continue using them or use the DJI -D-RTK (or get the Klau PPK add on). Thanks

[@SteelCityDrones]

Yes we have a video that discusses this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/noeTXoOLgK2VbJo

[@kousoulides]

how do you learn how to fly this drone?

[@Renisauce]

The freehand operation wolud be similar to most drones, but unless you have a really great hand at that it would be preferred to use the built-in software to make precalculated flight routes so the operator can focus more on the timing of the photos. And for that, one would consult the manual.

[@kousoulides]

@@Renisauce Thanks for the insight, yeah I don't want to fly it manually, I prefer to script it and let it do it's thing. So basically this drone makes a large image collage of an area site, right?

[@Renisauce]

@@kousoulides Yeah, my tutor at my current internship is using the non-RTK model for photogrammetry. At the latest project he just mapped out a square of a housing area, let the drone fly in a back-and-forward fashion over it, took a picture straight down every fourth second or so, and then processed the images in Metashape together with crosses on the ground we had measured with a GNSS-reciever before. It's an awesome machine for that purpose at a good price, i'm really thinking about saving to the RTK model for freelancing projects.

[@SteelCityDrones]

We offer training classes for this aircraft system as well as mappng and processing classes.

[@DAS-hm2eh]

Hi IF the mobile station connected and fix in beginning the survey by used ( phantom 4 RTK ) . and in the middle the survey mobile station not connected with drone its have problems ? Because the accuracy in the map (5m) and i dont no what the problem ?

[@SteelCityDrones]

Hello Dujayn. If the mobile station loses connection to the aircraft in the middle of the flight it will revert to normal Non RTK mode which will significantly affect accuracy and performance. Normally the ground station should never lose connection to the aircraft and or remote controller. If you are experiencing this on a regular basis I would say that the RTK system is not setup properly or you need to reinstall the firmware to the base station and aircraft. I would also suggest to contact the dealer that you purchased it from for support because you paid for support when purchasing the unit.

[@williamaguirre7009]

I heard that using PPK (Post Process Kin..) method, you would not have that problem.

[@Manokoray]

How much sir

Please contact us for pricing. Thanks.

dude who said that the phantom 4 can not change lenses? yes you can , just unscroll it

[@SteelCityDrones]

Phantom 4 comes with a fixed wide angle lens that is not interchangeable like a Matrice 200-210

[@BikiniChronicles]

Personally I stopped watching at "can;t use screen very well" I survey in very bright area's where 99% of the time, the sun glares of the screen. I couldn't imagine not also being able to touch screen consistently

[@SteelCityDrones]

That's why we review everything.

[@xmahlangeni]

You claim you were “Scientific” and yet you leave out the processing times. In certain applications that is the end all.

[@SteelCityDrones]

That's because there's many factors involved that affect it. Processing time will vary depending upon many factors such as computer hardware, and size of project. Our test projects were very small on fast platforms so processing was very quick. I also believe that processing time is not very important to many people as much as overall project accuracy and ability to eliminate ground control points to save time and project cost.
