Today's show is about discussing if pilots chose the Phantom 4 RTK over the Phantom 4 Pro or v2, can the RTK be used for conducting specific flight missions?

Our question for today is from James, who has purchase a P4 RTK drone and would like to know if it can be used without the RTK to add third party applications for conducting specific flight missions.

Thanks for the question James. In this short episode we discuss if the RTK can be used for mapping missions specific to what James has asked and what are the pitfalls of using the RTK and how pilot experience can mitigate these to an extent. We talk about the orbital missions James would like to perform and elaborate on how the RTK can be used to perform these movements. Lastly we touch upon some trending softwares that allow pilots to make visually appealing videos in orbital movements but functionally are limited in their application.

Tune in today to learn more about how the P4 RTK can be used and how you can get the best value from your flight missions.
