DJI Phantom 4 RTK (S): Precision mapping with integrated RTK positioning
The DJI Phantom 4 RTK (S) provides a dependable, survey-grade mapping solution engineered for teams requiring fast deployment and high positional accuracy. This new drone-only kit includes the aircraft, standard controller, charging hub, calibrated camera system, spare propellers, WB37 modules, and an additional aftermarket Phantom 4 battery for extended mission support.
Built for integrated photogrammetry workflows, the Phantom 4 RTK (S) minimizes ground control requirements while capturing centimeter-level image metadata for accurate modeling and mapping across diverse operational environments.
Advanced synchronization and imaging technology deliver consistent, high-accuracy results
DJI’s TimeSync architecture ensures every image is precisely synchronized with the RTK module and flight controller, producing reliable geotag accuracy across mission datasets. The 20-megapixel mechanical-shutter camera reduces distortion during motion, supporting repeatable flight lines and consistent ground sampling resolution. OcuSync transmission maintains stable HD downlink visibility over long distances, improving situational awareness.
When used with DJI Terra, the Phantom 4 RTK (S) forms a fully integrated workflow that generates dependable survey models without the error typically introduced by rolling shutter or misaligned metadata.
Field-ready performance enhances mapping efficiency in demanding environments
The Phantom 4 RTK (S) supports flexible RTK configurations, including NTRIP connectivity and interoperability with the D-RTK 2 Mobile Station. The aircraft’s stable flight characteristics, optimized photogrammetric capabilities, and intuitive mission planning tools enable operators to execute mapping flights quickly while maintaining accuracy.
This performance-driven system helps professionals reduce re-flights, simplify field operations, and generate consistently usable deliverables across surveying, construction, environmental analysis, and asset-inspection missions.
Key features of the Phantom 4 RTK
- Integrated RTK Module: The Phantom 4 RTK includes an integrated RTK positioning system that delivers real-time, centimeter-level accuracy. Combined with DJI’s TimeSync system, the aircraft continuously aligns the flight controller, camera, and RTK module, ensuring highly precise geospatial data for surveying and mapping tasks.
- High-Resolution CMOS Sensor: A 1-inch, 20-megapixel CMOS sensor enables the Phantom 4 RTK to capture high-detail imagery suitable for professional photogrammetry workloads. At a 100-meter flight altitude, it achieves a ground sample distance (GSD) of approximately 2.74 cm, supporting accurate 2D and 3D model generation.
- Optimized Data Collection: The system outputs standardized image and metadata formats compatible with major photogrammetry platforms. While RTK provides high accuracy during flight, the aircraft also supports Post Processed Kinematics (PPK) workflows using third-party post-processing tools, allowing survey teams to further refine positional accuracy when required.
