Thanks mate, I don't plan to use any software other than DJI Terra (Ag), as I pay for it already and it also sets up the flight paths for my spray drone. My associate uses UCGL or something like that, but he does extremely mountainous country and says it works best for that. I re planned the...

And what exactly is the "farmland" setting? I can't find anything about it on the internet. Is that a one size fits all setting for open land that doesn't care if it's cloudy or sunny? That would be handy.

Just for anyone else out there, it was a faulty D RTK 2 base station. They fixed the faulty power switch, but it wasn't linking on CH1. I sent it back a second time, and it's all good now and working very reliably. Amazing how accurately both the mapping and spray drone track, especially the...

Following up on this, it doesn't seem to care how you treat the batteries. Once you start spraying, it's like a rollercoaster has taken off... the thing's coming back and it wants a new battery and a belly full of juice. And it won't go back to work till you give it them. Not relaxing at all...

Hi All, I've moved along quite a bit with my P4 RTK and Agras T20, and have successfully mapped and sprayed about 50 acres or so. It's been a good learning experience, and the actual spraying results were excellent. If I was a paying customer I'd be happy, and that's what this will be all about...

Hi All, I'm having quite a bit of trouble with this P4RTK kit I bought, second hand but never used. I can't get it to link to the D-RTK2 station. I'm really hoping someone can help me here, as I've been trying for 2 days including with my drone spraying friend who uses all this gear, and I'm...

Thanks. They're actually not without their issues, and a lot of people get into trouble with them it seems, but I've bought one of the simpler/tried and tested models (T20), and I have a lot of experience with weed spraying/fertilizer/etc. The licensing is a total pain in the arse... I'll be...

So basically it's follow the guidelines if it's at all reasonably possibly in your work environment, which to be honest is fair enough. You've got to get the job done. I might try to satisfy my OCD by starting the day with a cool "slow" charge, using them as required during the day then letting...

Hi all, I did a day working with a spray drone contractor (running Agras T20 and T30), and the thing I immediately noticed was how roughly the batteries were treated by normal RC standards. I was pretty much horrified actually, but once the work started there didn't seem any other way to do it...

Looks like you dodged TWO bullets then! Best get in while your luck's holding...

Nobody out there with experience in this?

I'm on the same page, going all in but with some sensible buying. I've bought a spraying drone for my farm, so the drones/training/tools are all tax deductible and the surrounding neighbors are all potential customers. I bought the last runout model Agras T20, and a second hand but unused P4...

I would go with an older model Phantom or Mavic, with an aftermarket "wetsuit" and a fishing line release. You'll find one lightly used with a pelican style case with foam cut outs that will be easy for transporting for work in vehicles etc. Go for "splashproof" rather than waterproof, and try...

Hi All, I've literally cut and pasted this from my post on the Phantom pilots forum, as they directed me here. I've been searching heavily on how to use my new P4 RTK specifically for my application. Unfortunately my DRTK 2 base station failed out of the box (won't switch on at all), and has...

Hi All, I'm a farmer in NSW Australia who has just started to delve into ag drones. I've flown RC of various sorts for years, and have just purchased a P4 RTK, D-RTK 2 base and an Agras T20 spray drone. Will certainly need some help here and look forward to meeting you all. Cheers, Neil.
