To answer your question: No, you will not need anything else to process your images. The "accurate" coordinates are in the metadata of the image, when you are using RTK, receiving corrections. I am assuming that since you already are collecting control points you have GNSS equipment and a...

Thats a really good deal! The camera on this drone is still very relevant. A lot of middlemen drone service providers (Zeitview, cell tower inspections) want the images from a P4 Pro/Adv still to this day. Congrats on a steal.

Get a Mavic 3 Enterprise. It is currently fully supported and is incrementally better than the Phantom 4 RTK in almost every way. They both will give about the same precision/accuracy, but the Mavic has a better camera with a larger CMOS sensor, and can take images faster due to being able to...

This is DJI Air Sense. It is a receiver for ADS-B which some but not all aircraft broadcast. ADSB is not Remote ID, and sUAS are not allowed to broadcast it. It's pretty cool that the Mavic 3 Air has it, as DJI used to only have Air Sense for Enterprise sUAS.

The Phantom 4 RTK is still an excellent mapping drone capable of low cm precision/accuracy. While the Mavic 3 Enterprise is incrementally better in the most important ways, the P4RTK does have it beat in it is larger and easier to keep VLOS (Visual Line of Sight). I have not upgraded yet as...

On my Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced, the Remote ID # is the Flight Control # with 1581F added in front.

Your current Phantom 4 Pro can perform very well in "survey grade" mapping and modeling. It will just need to use a Control Point workflow. You will need GNSS equipment, RTN Subscription (RTK or VRS), photogrammetry software and most likely some GIS software like Global Mapper, ESRI or similar...

As of December 6, 2023 the DOC (Declaration of Compliance) is posted in the FAA DOC database. Remote ID is now in full compliance for the Phantom 4 RTK. (Also Phantom 4 Pro V2)

On December 6, 2023, the FAA DOC (Declaration of Compliance) was posted on the FAA DOC database. Remote ID is now fully official and in full compliance.

You can take a single image and then rectify it in Arc Pro. You would use control points that you can find in both the image and in the accurate survey you already have. I did this to look at social distancing during Covid on our beaches. It will meet your goal of not accurate or precise, but...

The last post on this was back in 2020. You may just be debating yourself on this.

There is still no DOC on the FAA site, so for me this is still pending as not fully compliant for my records.

A company suas.com used to do this but have gone out of business. They did this when there was a lack of low cost thermal solutions, but once 640x512 thermal drones became ~$6,000 they became uncompetitive. Their add on thermal solutions needed their own FPV Tx and Rx, did not integrate into the...

No, the update for the Phantom 4 RTK is NOT the update for the Phantom 4 Pro V2.

Okay, thanks. I am waiting for this Remote ID update to show in the FAA DOC database and I can then officially list my drone as Remote ID compliance in its Maintenance section.
