Today's show is about the Phantom 4 RTK. What are some main issues that you are likely to encounter with the P4P RTK?

Our caller for today, Chris from Charlotte is a Phantom 4 RTK user. Chris is running into some glitches with his P4P RTK remote, and thinking of switching over to a SDK remote. Is this a good idea? Does a P4P SDK remote work seamlessly with third party apps?

To answer Chris's questions, we reveal the pros and cons of the Phantom 4 RTK in great detail. There are many professional mappers who prefer using the Phantom 4 Pro V2 over the pricier Phantom 4 RTK. Hasn't the P4P RTK resulted in a compressed and more efficient mapping workflow? What are some of the issues that you are likely to encounter with the Phantom 4 RTK?

Apart from the remote, other topics discussed in today's show include using GCP's with the P4P RTK, connecting to a NTrip network, and using GPS equipment. We hope you enjoy this show! Fly Safe!
