Mavic 4 Pro - RTK Module?

[PHZ]

Question #1:

Does anyone know if the RTK module can be fitted to the Mavic 4 Pro? I am using the creator combo with the RC Pro 2.

Question #2:

Can the Mavic 4 Pro be flown with Litchi waypoints?

Thank you.

No idea about #1 but #2 is a no

No, the RTK module cannot be used with the Mavic 4 Pro, only the Mavic 3 series drones (M3E, M3T, M3TA and M3M).

Technically any drone can be outfitted with an external RTK module

Reach M2 Multi-band RTK GNSS Module

The Reach M2 L1/L2 RTK GNSS Module streams its cm accurate position to drones, sonars for bathymetry, and directly to a camera's hot shoe for accurate geotags for photogrammetry/mapping.

But you will need to modify the drone a bit.

Thanks everyone for your help. I can’t see myself modifying my new M 4.

It would not be an easy modification anyway. You would need a rigid 3D mount, a power source (external battery), measure your camera to module offset, and worst of all tap into a board on the camera for triggering a time stamp for each image to be saved as a time stamp file. I did something similar on a Phantom 4 Pro V2. While it worked incredibly well in terms of accuracy/precision, it was a clunky workflow, PPK only and while flying never knew if you indeed had FIX.


OP if you really want to mess around with RTK, Phantom 4 RTK's can be found very cheap now, and they are just as accurate as the Mavic 3 E and Matrice 4 E. I have all three and the Phantom only loses on the image quality and the speed at which it can fly to obtain the images. I can use other software to program the fancy flight routes such as facade and similar.

Question #2:
Can the Mavic 4 Pro be flown with Litchi waypoints?

Litchi waypoints can be converted to DJI Waypoints, but Litchi itself cannot be used to fly the Mavic 4 Pro because no SDK has been released for the Mavic 4 Pro that would allow Litchi control over the Mavic 4 Pro.
