Phantom 4 RTK - SDK Combo
Experience the next generation of modern mapping workflows - with the Phantom 4 RTK, the most compact and precise mapping solution for low altitudes.
Next generation mapping
DJI has rethought modern drone technology from the ground up, creating a new standard of precision.
The Phantom 4 RTK provides customers with centimetre-level data and also reduces the number of ground control points required.
- 1 cm + 1 ppm RTK Horizontal positioning accuracy
- 1.5 cm + 1 ppm RTK Vertical positioning accuracy
- 5 cm* Absolute horizontal precision of photogrammetric models
Key Features
- RTK Module
- 1" CMOS Sensor
- GS RTK APP
- TimeSync
- OcuSync
- D-RTK 2 GNSS Mobile Station
Centimetre-precise positioning system
The new RTK module has been integrated directly into the Phantom 4 RTK and provides centimetre-precise positioning data for improved overall metadata accuracy. Redundant GNSS modules are installed directly below the RTK receiver, providing greater flight stability in areas with traditionally poor reception, such as densely built-up inner cities. By combining both modules, the Phantom 4 RTK enhances flight safety and simultaneously logs precision data from complex surveys, mapping and inspections. Integrate the Phantom 4 RTK into professional workflows with ease. The Phantom 4 RTK is able to easily connect to the D-RTK 2 Mobile Station, as well as connect via NTRIP (Network Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol) using a 4G dongle or Wi-Fi hotspot, and store satellite data for Post Processed Kinematics (PPK).
Precise data logging with TimeSync
To take full advantage of the Phantom 4 RTK's positioning modules, the new TimeSync system continuously synchronises data from the flight controller, camera and RTK module. In addition, TimeSync ensures that each photo is equipped with precise metadata and fixes the position data at the centre of the CMOS - for optimal results and precision in photogrammetric methods.
Precise camera system
Capture the best image data, thanks to the 1-inch CMOS sensor with 20 megapixels. The mechanical shutter ensures seamless mapping and data acquisition by eliminating rolling shutter effects. Due to the high resolution of the camera sensor, the Phantom 4 RTK is able to achieve a Ground Sample Distance (GSD) of 2.74 cm at a flight altitude of 100m. To ensure the precision of the Phantom 4 RTK, each lens undergoes a thorough calibration process that measures radial and tangential distortions. Distortion parameters are stored in the metadata of each image so that post-processing software can be customised for each user.
Support for Mobile SDK
The Phantom 4 RTK is compatible with the DJI Mobile SDK, allowing even more automation and customisation options when combined with a mobile device.
Access to a wide range of apps
Pilots who already have experience with third-party apps can now use these apps with the Phantom 4 RTK with SDK remote control. Users can simply connect a compatible Android or iOS mobile device to the remote control and use any DJI Mobile SDK compatible app with the Phantom 4 RTK.
OcuSync image transmission system
Enjoy reliable HD image and video transmission with a range of up to 7km. *Without obstacles and interference, FCC compliant Maximum flight distance is a reference value for signal strength and robustness. Unless otherwise permitted, a drone should always be flown with visual contact.
Seamless compatibility with the D-RTK 2 Mobile Station
Support Phantom 4 RTK operations with a D-RTK 2 Mobile Station for real-time differential data transmission. The Mobile Station's rugged design and OcuSync 2.0 provide centimetre-level accuracy in the harshest conditions.
Note: Please note that this product is an SDK version.

2.Supports hot swappable batteries.
3.Pre-installed GS RTK App can run Photogrammetry, Waypoint and other mission types.
4.OcuSync video transmission.
2. Connect remotely via a 4G Dongle to a custom RTK network using a NTRIP account.(RTCM3.2)
3. Connect remotely via a WiFi hotspot to a custom RTK network using a NTRIP account. Not available in Europe.(RTCM3.0/RTCM3.1/RTCM3.2)
PPKRAW.bin is an RTCM3.2 MSM5 format that stores satellite observation data and ephemeris data.
Rinex.obs is a Rinex file format that is created after transcoding.
Timestamps.MRK is a ASCII format that stores exposure and time stamp.
(1)DJI Base Station: Connect DJI D-RTK 2 High-Precision GNSS Mobile Station and the remote controller via a USB cable to upload the PPK data onto the base station. After the server acquires the data from the aircraft and the D-RTK 2 Mobile Station, it will start PPK calculation automatically.
(2)RINEX Base Station: Convert the satellite observation values received by third-party base stations into standard RINEX format, then import the PPK source data to the remote controller and upload them to the cloud server for PPK calculation.
(2)Users can also manually enter the longitude and latitude information of where the base station is set up, as well as the distance between the bottom of the base station and the antenna phase center (APC). With this information, the Cloud PPK Service will run calculations based on the antenna phase center information entered by the user.
(3)The Cloud PPK Service can also acquire the location of the antenna phase center through Single Point Positioning (SPP) with RINEX data. These coordinates will be used for PPK calculation. *
* Currently only available in Europe.
(1) Instantaneous measurement
(2) Average measurement using 10 values collected during 2 seconds
(2)For average measurement: it is recommended that the RTK signal be “FIX”.
You can also update the drone and remote controller simultaneously through the GS RTK app. First you connect the remote controller to the aircraft with OTG and USB cables, then follow the procedures explained in the remote controller's GS RTK app.
In DJI Terra: waypoints can be at most 2km apart, and at most 99 waypoints can be set. The total distance of a waypoint mission cannot exceed 40km, in photogrammetry mode the max distance is 100km.
(2)Set the mapping area: manually set the mapping area or import kml files;
(3)Adjust the grid size and direction;
(4)Adjust parameters such as camera parameters and overlap rate.
(2)Select Waypoint Flight, start adding waypoints with RTK enabled, the system will automatically record the absolute altitude of each waypoint;
(3)Select Absolute Altitude in the Height popup window when you perform the operation.
(1)The GCP is set in a different coordinate system or height datum from that of the Phantom 4 RTK’s position. Please make sure they are in the same coordinate system.
(2)The Phantom 4 RTK’s RTK status is not “FIX”. Ensure that the RTK status is “FIX” when collecting data.
(3)The internal camera parameters used by the post processing software are not accurate.
