Description
The PPK-Kit-Phantom4 is a non-intrusive adapter system to connect an Emlid Reach
M2 or M + GNSS receiver (not included) to a DJI Phantom 4 Pro or Advance Drone
model.
Main Advantages:
• Works with Emlid Reach M2 and M + modules (not included)
• No need to open or modify the Drone
• KiT attaches and disattaches in seconds
• No batteries required
• Ultra-fast image-firing detector sensor
• Lightweight micro electronics: 70 grams.
An externally installed sensor on the Drone detects the shot of each photograph and
records a timestamp in the Reach M2 / M + module's log file. Timestamps are
extracted from the module after the flight and added to the images taken in flight as
metadata such as centimeter precision geotags using various specialized software
options available on the market.
The Emlid Reach M2 and M + modules (not included in the Kit) are multi-band / single-
band GNSS systems respectively, with centimeter precision for UAV mapping.
