The DJI Phantom 4 RTK is a drone designed for aerial mapping and surveying missions. It is a compact, reliable, and cost-effective drone that has been trusted by professionals for years. The drone is equipped with a Real Time Kinetics (RTK) unit that makes aerial surveys 1000 times more accurate, achieving 0.1′ vertical accuracy. The RTK unit uses a technology called real-time kinetics to track where a photograph was taken in real-time, referencing the photograph’s location to a local base station that has been calibrated by a land surveyor. The drone can also use Post Processing Kinetics (PPK), which is useful for software such as Propeller. The Phantom 4 RTK can fly a great distance and, in some cases, beyond visual line of sight.

It is a popular drone designed for surveying and mapping applications, providing high-precision GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) capabilities.

Main features:

• RTK Positioning: The Phantom 4 RTK features Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS technology, which provides centimeter-level accuracy for precise mapping and surveying.
• High-Resolution Camera: Equipped with a high-resolution 20-megapixel camera capable of capturing 4K video at 60fps. The camera has a mechanical shutter for accurate mapping and inspection.
• TimeSync: DJI's TimeSync system aligns the flight controller, camera, and RTK module, optimizing the camera's position data for accurate geotagging of images.
• Centimeter-Level Positioning: With the RTK module, the drone can achieve centimeter-level accuracy in its positioning, making it ideal for applications requiring high precision, such as mapping and surveying.
• Flight Autonomy System: The Phantom 4 RTK is equipped with multiple vision sensors for obstacle sensing and avoidance, enhancing the safety and stability of the drone during flight.
• Flight Modes: Offers various intelligent flight modes, including Waypoints, Point of Interest (POI), and Follow Me, enabling automated and precise flight paths for mapping and surveying missions.
• Mobile SDK Support: Supports DJI's Mobile SDK, allowing developers to create custom applications and features tailored to specific industry needs.
• OcuSync Transmission System: Utilizes DJI's OcuSync 2.0 technology for stable and reliable long-range HD video transmission, ensuring a clear live view and data feed to the operator.
• D-RTK 2 Mobile Station Compatibility: The Phantom 4 RTK is compatible with the D-RTK 2 Mobile Station, which further enhances the drone's positioning accuracy and reliability.
• Remote Controller: Comes with a dedicated, ergonomic remote controller with a built-in screen, providing real-time flight data and live video feed for efficient operation.

Very handy for knocking over small jobs that are missed by the boom / crop duster such as sections of blackberry in gully's, steep areas, fence lines etc. Small, light and easy to carry on and off a ute to get spraying and seeding jobs done fast. No CASA licence needed if on your own land.  Excess floor stock must go. 

The T10 is essentially a smaller-scale version of the T30 – it shares most of the same tech smarts (e.g. uses the same Agras app to fly, same front and rear FPV cameras and same spherical radar system), but has around 1/3 the spray tank capacity. Whilst its called the ‘T10’, the spray tank capacity is actually 8L (where the line is marked on the tank). However it is possible to overfill it to around 9.3L. Interestingly, the T10 can fly with the larger T16 (older model) batteries, taking your flight time from around 8 mins (T10 battery) to around 16 mins (T16 battery). This will however increase the total weight, as will overfilling the spray tank.   But where the elephant fails the mouse succeeds - being smaller that the T30 it is more agile, easier to re-fill and to carry around in general (weighs only 13kg when dry and no battery, and folds up to 30% of its original size). The T10 is generally very good for isolated target areas that utes and tractors cant access or get bogged in after rain – hilly,  rocky or low lying terrain. It can spray 16.5 acres per hour on average (with a dosage of 4.8 L/acre, spraying width of 5 m, speed of 5 m/s, and height of 2 m). The T10 can also carry 12 kg of solid dry particles via the optional spreading system.

About 80% of the retail value of the equipment new. Can be paid via regular bank transfer or as a hold/freeze for the on your credit card for the deposit amount.   

(2) Public Liability (PL) Insurance

Required in case of third party property damage or injury. You will need a Certificate of Currency showing Drones for Hire listed as an 'interested party' (since DFH is the owner of the equipment).   

Note that 'hull' insurance (covers costs associated with repairs / replacement of  the drone itself), is  not mandatory since we take a security deposit. You may choose to have your own hull insurance so you are covered in case there is a crash / theft and DFH needs to retain some of the security deposit for repairs (parts and labour) or replacement.

(3) A Drone licence  

You / the drone pilot, will need a CASA drone Licence (RePL) and to be listed as a pilot under a CASA Operators Certificate (ReOC). Note the insurance companies usually require an RePL and ReOC so you will likely have these already if you have PL insurance (point 2 above).

“The launch of DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral will help farmers around the world improve the quality and efficiency of their production, reduce costs and increase revenue, all while promoting the development of modern agriculture,” said Ronnie Liu, North America regional representative at DJI Agriculture.

Key Features

Mavic 3 Multispectral weighs 951 grams and is equipped with a dual-camera gimbal. One camera is RGB with a 4/3” 20MP CMOS sensor with a mechanical shutter having a maximum speed of 1/2000. It handles high-speed continuous shooting at the fastest interval of 0.7 seconds. The other camera is a 4-lens multispectral. Each of the four multispectral cameras can acquire 5 million pixels and scan the following wavelengths:

• Green (G): 560 nm ± 16 nm
• Red (R): 650 nm ± 20 nm
• Red edge (RE): 730 nm ± 20 nm
• Near-infrared (NIR) 860 nm ± 26 nm

By combining these two cameras, DJI Mavic 3M realizes applications such as high-precision aerial surveys, crop growth monitoring, and natural resource surveys.

Positioning with centimeter-level RTK

Mavic 3M includes an RTK module that achieves centimeter-level positioning. The drone, its camera, and the RTK module are synchronized at the microsecond level to accurately obtain position information from the imaging center of each camera. This enables Mavic 3M to perform high-precision aerial surveys without the use of ground control points (GCPs). And with a battery life of up to 43 minutes, Mavic 3M can complete surveying and mapping operations of an area of up to 2 square kilometers in a single flight.

Designed for safe operation

Mavic 3M features O3 video transmission, with two transmission channels and four reception channels with an operating distance of up to 15 kilometers. For added safety, Mavic 3M features omnidirectional obstacle detection to detect obstacles in all directions and help avoid them accurately.

Unlimited possibilities

Mavic 3M can be integrated into various ecosystems to offer unlimited possibilities for smart farming. Through the built-in DJI Cloud API, based on the MQTT protocol in Pilot 2, users can directly connect Mavic 3M to a third-party cloud platform to collect information, live video, photo data, and more, all without the need to develop a separate app. Mavic 3M also supports Mobile SDK 5 (MSDK5), allowing users to easily develop unique control apps for scenarios such as smart monitoring.

A new tool for precision agriculture

Mavic 3M is useful in a ‘wide variety of working scenarios. The DJI map and DJI SmartFarm platform generate an NDVI vegetation index to facilitate more efficient and localized crop treatments. Automatic field scouting can detect crop anomalies and perform intelligent analysis that enables one person to manage 70 hectares of land.

Considering Ownership After Rental

If you've been enjoying your rental drone, here's an opportunity to make it a permanent part of your gear. Once your rental period is complete, you can choose to purchase the rental drone and save the waiting time for its arrival.
