I think you are looking at the Drone Deploy beta stuff. I spoke to Drone Deploy and they said that pricing for DD has yet to be determined for RTK service. I was pretty upset by the whole thing because their NTRIP service is the same NTRIP service I get for free in CA. I was told RTK would be...

Yep, it has been my experience that you must restart everything after a battery change to get RTK restarted. It has always been that way for me.

My experience with the Pilot 2 app is that it has functioned better than the Drone Deploy app ever functioned. For me, Pilot 2 has never missed a beat, never forgot where it left off at a battery change, and never hung or quit during flight. The Drone Deploy app had issues regularly. I do look...

Drone Deploy does not support RTK yet. The Pilot 2 built in app works well and supports RTK and can be used to create images to import to Drone Deploy easily.

I've been using Pilot 2 to fly large, multi-battery, RTK mapping missions for some time now. Pilot 2 works better than the Drone Deploy flight app ever did. Pilot 2 has never missed a beat, never lost a resume point after a battery change, the app never hung or quit during flight. The Drone...

DroneDeploy beta app quit on the first flight for me with the M3E. I am currently using the Pilot 2 mapping function to fly sites now. I'm still having DD do the maps like before, but the accuracy has gotten a boost with RTK. Speed has not increased dramatically since my missions are flown at...

You can fly the same missions with different drones in DroneDeploy.

This map should help you pick sites. The settings are all there. I'm still new to RTK but mine seems to work well at my location. http://sopac-adj.ucsd.edu/crtn-map/#close

I almost fell into the same trap as you and picked up a Mavic 3. Just dumb luck that I didn't. Hopefully it's water under the bridge now but makes you cautious about buying the next new DJI drone. I did just get a 3E since they claim it is for mapping and has RTK.

I just purchased a 3E from Advexture. Ordered Tuesday and it arrived Wednesday. What's not to like?

Storage charge and storage discharge are two different things. In a perfect world, one would never need to discharge a full battery, but stuff happens. It would be nice to have a charger that would do both.

That would definitely work, I just didn't have the appropriate female jack and didn't want to wait.

I sacrificed on of the charge cables to my Yx charger to connect to a ISDT FD-100 discharger. I could have just made an adaptor for the discharger but didn't have the female plug, but, I only have 3 MM batteries anyway. This setup automatically discharges to 60% and stops on it own in 5 or 10...

I have done this sort of thing, it is a huge pain in the *** in the long run. In short, I picked a point on the ground that was not likely to change in the time frame. Fly straight up a specified distance and point at a landmark that will not change. Remember, it that much time you may be using...
