Hi Gents, is this a new proposed model P4? From my survey background, RTK would normally stand for Real Time Kinematic, which might explain the stub on the top. This would probably be a survey grade GNSS (GPS + other constellations) antenna & receiver. With a proper base station one would be...

Mappilot is also a good flight planning software for mapping. Sites can be irregular shapes an you can also import a kmz as the perimiter where background imagery is outdated.

Thanks gents for the advice it was indeed the problem. Happy flying.

Thanks i came right. Rgds

Good day gents I need assistance. I have successfully upgraded the abovementioned firmware on the aircraft. Then subsequently switched on the remote with iphone plugged in. The status message was that rc also required upgrade. I proceeded to download and then okayd the installation. I did not...

Thanks, cheers

Gents I have had my P3P for just under 2 years now and fly it on average 1-2 times a month. I realised yesterday that i only get about 10 minutes out of my batteries now. Which is poor. Questions: Has anyone else had a the same experience? Has anyone tried generic batteries? Does anyone have...

Gents, i use "Maps made Easy" app to fly a grid with image overlap to process later. There is "Pix4Dcapture" as well but i prefer the former. Does anyone know if the Litchi App can do the same? Cheers Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots mobile app

Interesting comment. 2 days ago i have reached 600m comfortably and my max is about 1.8km. Provided you have line of sight (no obstructing trees + buildings). Humidity might be a factor, seems speed is also. i am 2 firmware updates behind. I will update soon and then see if there is a difference...

Thanks, i have seen that the addition of oblique photographs increases the accuracy very much, especially regarding heights, cheers

Hi Ryan, i think that message is just a general announcement. But if you enter the camera mode, there might be at the status window popping up a notification saying that you need to upgrade. If it is not there, then it is probably up to date. I cannot advise on the Inspire as i only have a...

The last few times i have not updated my rc as such, it happens automatically via internet via dji go app. Dji go will flag a message to tell you if updates are required on the aircraft. Updates on aircraft I do it the usual way using the microsd with new bin file thereon. But i believe this can...

Interesting, thanks, i have P3P with which i am experimenting. I have done a trial with Agisoft Pro - excellent software. But it seems that large sets of data cannot be handled always. Also with Pix4D. The ortophoto from Pix4D is slightly better around building structures it seems. Downside of...

Good day gents Have any of you used aerial imagery from the P3P and processed in Pix4D to generate a 3d Model/orto photo but WITH ground control points? Fly altitude was on 100m and another on 60m. The GCPs were accurately fixed with survey grade GPS. I have experienced some bad closures ...
