    M4T RTK accurate or not ..

    I have never had any luck with thermal models. Actually the best thermal models I ever saw were from Drone Deploy and an Autel Evo 2 640T. I have ran the M4T and made some thermal orthos of solar panels. They have come out decent. I have used both the DJI RJPEG and also used a convertor...

    M4T RTK accurate or not ..

    Update on the 4T. I ran some more tests. This time with a local base. I measured 5 check points while receiving corrections from a subscription base. I then setup the Emlid and logged a point on site. Next I had the Emlid send corrections over NTRIP (Emlid Caster) to the 4T. The 4T flew at 15...

    M4T RTK accurate or not ..

    Here is the update on the mapping competition. In Pix4D and Drone Deploy the results were very similar to Agisoft Pro.

    M4T RTK accurate or not ..

    The Matrice 4T is about to get its second chance. It will map the same exact area as before. Since the last map was made, a trench has been dug out on site. This time it will only be the Matrice 4T and 4E mapping. I will only have Check Points to assess RTK only, no GCPs. I will setup a local...

    Just got the M4T

    The sellers of these gray market drones are most likely not legitimate DJI agents in my opinion. But for us in the US, it is all we can do for the most part. Even if you buy a legitimate DJI product that got past the Customs block, DJI still does not offer DJI Care for it. It is a very sad time...

    Drone Body/Bird Only

    I tried to find a drone sold as aircraft only and found that the prices asked were close to what I could buy the whole package for. Check you DM's I sent you where I purchased a low price full package Matrice 4T.

    Just got the M4T

    If you truly work for DJI then you need to keep up with your company and what is truly going on. There are many reasons DJI drones are not fully available. 1. Claims DJI uses forced labor. This keeps DJI drones blocked at Customs, but some get through legitimately. 2. NDAA Ban. THis only bans...

    Looking for feedback from commercial operators on our drone comparison tool

    I know its not an easy solution, just giving specs that matter to me and that are missing. Drone Compare is a very handy tool though. Where on Earth did you get the Skydio X10 pricing. They are so secretive here in the US.

    Clear Inspection Pictures

    Do you have the Gaussian Splatting option on Terra. Sometimes it is a much higher quality than 3D mesh.

    Looking for feedback from commercial operators on our drone comparison tool

    The only thing I would add is: Remote ID. If the drone transmits RID or needs a larger battery (ie. Mini series) Category Drones. Is the drone a Category drone as is, is there a PRS that makes it a Category drone or can the drone meet a Category by being under the weight limit if it has covered...

    Clear Inspection Pictures

    What software are you using? What is your GSD? What are you actually inspecting? To truly inspect small details, you need mm GSD and should be using Local 3D modeling. I prefer to use Agisoft Cloud Inspection where you click on the model to then get the images for that point. You can see much...

    New Firmware available for Matrice 4 Series

    New firmware is available. A highlight is panoramas using the medium telephoto lense for panoramas. This should result in some really detailed panos.

    M4T RTK accurate or not ..

    Very nice looking map. Here is a question that pertains to this discussion. Have you mapped this area several times? Without using GCPs to correct any shift, do the datasets line up well? That will give you a clue to precision.

    M4T RTK accurate or not ..

    What else do you need information on? Here is an updated list now with RMSE from Pix4Dmapper. As you can see it closely matches Agisoft results. I am still processing so the full final results won't be processed and typed up for a bit. The M4T will get more chances. I still need to test it...

    M4T RTK accurate or not ..

    Hello, Thank you for that information. I do not pretend to know the particulars on DJI's implementation of Time Sync, but this is very good information and helps for others to understand that the drone having RTK is much more complicated than what is on the surface. As far as purchasing a...
