This along with bridge inspections (particularly on the underside) is why we as well are looking into the M210 RTK. With the amount of money we pay for Pix4D, and how it’s advertised as THE professional solution for aerial mapping, it would be absurd for them to at least not support the M210 natively in Pix4DCapture.
Glad to read the discussion so far, Thank you for all you insightful information Phillips’ comments they have just been what we have been looking to hear with regards to RTK and PPK.
We use a whole fleet of DJI UAV’s from P4P to M600 with X5S and find they are nothing but fantastic units to use and we were looking at moving into the RTK side of things with our mapping. We are not surveyors but with work with surveyors on project and this information is invaluable to us as this is changes my whole perspective on which unit to purchase next.
As I mentioned we have a M600 Pro and I think for us is to continue using it with GCP’s and then upgrading it to RTK as it help with it positioning accuracy and with electromagnetic interference which is a big issue where we are located.
Our maps tend to be on average 8-10 sq km or above and using something like this may help use, in the future we may look at eBee but it is just not in our budget at the moment as for Dave and mapping software we use to use MME but have found DJI GS Pro to and even better app to use along with Pix4D capture all depending on size of area and what you are actually after.
Our developers have in the current pipeline to integrate the DJI Matrice 200 and 210 (RTK). Actually we are looking for Pix4Dcapture testers. Please let us know if you would be interested and we will send you the testing procedure.
We used Pix4Dcapture with our M200 outfitted with an X4S sensor last week. Pix4Dcapture recognized the M200, the sensor, and completed the mission. The only complaint we have is that the UAV seemed to fly very slow, even at higher altitudes. Processing went well.
Sundt would love to join the beta testing effort for the Matrice 210 RTK. Is it possible to add Sundt to the list? We currently have a 210 RTK and would like to use it with Pix 4D Capture.
Why not just use another image capturing app with the 210? Also the Matrice 210 RTK is built for inspection not mapping. You could get pretty much the same results with a Phantom 4 Pro. The RTK is for position only. PPK is better for differential mapping systems, but will still need supplemental GCPS to get good accuracy.
If you want something that maps well look for a DSLR camera 24+ MP. Use ground station pro or some other flight planning app. They all get you the same thing overlapped images in a grid pattern.
We also have a M200 but with the X5S camera, and currently our only option is GS Pro. We would love to beta test Pix4D, please add us to the list if possible.
