I'm using a Phantom 4 RTK with the built-in screen on the controller (controller GL300N) and need to map an area (about 40 acres) that is partially in Class E airspace that extends to the surface. I've received a LAANC Authorization for a couple of days from now. Am I going to run into a DJI...

I'm a hydrologist/geomorphologist and picked up a P4 RTK with a GL300N controller a couple of years ago for fishery and river work as well. Prior to purchasing, I hired a pilot with a P4P to fly projects for me and then processed the images myself using the 3DSurvey software. For this kind of...

Exact same issue with the P4 RTK and now several weeks down the road but still no solution. Don't hold your breath.

Many of us feel your pain. I have the same problem with the P4 RTK RID since updating the firmware when is came out several weeks ago (RID S/N shows on the controller screen so appears to be installed correctly, but RID doesn't show on the Drone Scanner apps I've tried, both Android and IPhone)...

Yep. I'm sure. I have the GL300N controller with the attached, small screen (no tablet). While in the office early last week I set up a new 2D project on the controller to fly in a very remote area (no cell service and definitely no wifi within a 30 minute drive). When I opened up the...

It appears that a recent P4 RTK firmware upgrade has brought back satellite image caching for the controller with attached screen. Some of my projects are repeat flights. If I Open an older task created earlier this year (e.g. pre-September) when caching was not available and then Edit, Save...

I'm curious what success other P4 RTK users have had getting RID to work after installing the recent firmware upgrade. I've updated the firmware and registered the new S/N with the FAA so, as far I can tell, I meet the compliance rules. However, the Drone Scanner apps on my IPhone 12 and...

I did some mapping of a small, 1.5 mile long valley using terrain awareness on a P4 RTK. The valley floor gains almost 400 feet of elevation from the lower end to the upper end (about 5% slope) and the flight area included some of the valley side slopes such that the highest ground point was...

Received my DroneBeacon db120 today today (ordered on 8/19 so not too bad on the backorder delay) but have a question about registering it on FAADroneZone. I have but one UAS (a P4) so have only one entry in the FAADroneZone inventory. When registering the RID module and updating the...

Any indication if they intend to update the P4 RTK also?

I like and conceal-carry my "guns because I don't feel safe going to a movie, a mall, a restaurant, etc.". I like and conceal carry my guns when I do drone work in remote areas where I sometimes encounter unsavory people and large predatory wildlife. I like my DJI P4 RTK because it's been an...

I'm running into the same problem flying in remote Colorado locations with no cell service. Am using the P4 RTK controller with the built-in screen. It's still a great drone system but now is a bit handicapped since you can't view the satellite image to tweak a flight path while in the field...

Amazing! Simply amazing what Zipline is doing. Thanks for posting the video. I would never have known this was going on.

I got my commercial certification so I can use it in my consulting business. So far I've used it to map proposed pond sites and pond excavations for determining the amount of material moved, to design an under-liner vent system and to create CAD files to submit to a pond liner company for...

Thank you.
