Quadcopter DJI Phantom 4 RTK SDK

DJI Phantom 4 RTK SDK quadcopter – top model for cartography

The DJI Phantom 4 RTK SDK is a highly innovative quadcopter designed for mapping applications. The most important feature of the model is its compactness. It is the smallest mapping drone from DJI.

Fantastic data accuracy

This drone offers unique positioning accuracy - up to 1 centimeter in the horizontal plane and up to 1.5 cm in the vertical plane. This happens due to the presence of a new RTK module. In addition, a GPS module is located under this module. It provides flight stability in areas with difficult signal. Also model is the TimeSync system, which provides reliable communication between the controller, camera and RTK module. This ensures the stability and efficiency of the entire drone.

Impressive image quality

The drone has a 1-inch CMOS sensor with a resolution of 20 megapixels. This provides impressive image quality. In addition, the mechanical shutter ensures clarity and sharpness of the “picture”. It is worth noting that the lens of each drone of this model undergoes special calibration for the best quality of work. The model also has an OcuSync image transmission system, which allows you to transmit images over a distance of up to 7 km.

Drone flight characteristics

The drone impresses with its flight characteristics. It is capable of taking off to a height of up to 6 kilometers, gaining speed of up to 58 km/h and flying for up to 30 minutes. Such capabilities make it possible to successfully carry out tasks to survey large areas in one flight.
