Hey everyone,
We know there’s a big difference between flying a drone and actually getting useful, actionable data out of it. How do you go from a bunch of pictures to a prescription map that your sprayer can actually use? Or how to map boundaries and obstacles for efficent and safe aerial applications?
To help bridge that gap, we teamed up with Nathan Stein from Airstrike Ag —a guy who does this for a living—for an intensive 2-hour training session. We recorded the whole thing so you can see real-world applications from start to finish.
No fluff, just a practical deep dive into using PIX4Dfields for drone mapping and precision spraying.
What’s in the video?
We cover the entire process, answering the questions that actually come up in the field:
-
Choosing the Right Drone: Not sure if a Mini is enough or if you need an M3M? We break down the pros and cons for different budgets and jobs.
-
Why RTK Actually Matters: We cut through the jargon and explain in simple terms why centimeter-level accuracy is non-negotiable for precision spraying and how to get it right.
-
Blazing-Fast Fieldside Processing: See a 150-acre field get processed in about 2 minutes on a standard laptop—no internet required. This is what PIX4Dfields is all about.
-
Finding Weeds with the Magic Tool: A super practical demo of using the AI tool to find specific weeds (like buttercups in a pasture) and create an accurate map in just a few clicks.
-
From Map to Action (The Money Step!): This is the core of it. We show you exactly how to turn that weed map into a real prescription for your sprayer (DJI Agras, John Deere, etc.), calculate exactly how much chemical you need, and plan around obstacles.
-
Sharing Your Work: Learn how to quickly generate PDF reports for your clients or share interactive maps on PIX4Dcloud.
This session is for anyone who wants to move beyond just making pretty maps and start using their drone to make decisions that save time, reduce chemical use, and improve efficiency.

It’s a long one, but it’s packed with practical tips. Grab a coffee and check it out. Hope you find it useful!
