DJI Phantom 4 RTK
Mapping both RGB and Multi-Spectral
Drones like the DJI Phantom 4 RTK make amazing ortho 
it makes things quick and easy and it gives you centimeter-level accuracy on your maps you can literally take measurements using the maps that you generate from the DJI Phantom 4 RTK and it’s going to be almost as accurate as you standing out there with a tape measure measuring it yourself really incredible technology it does not take long to learn how to use this software. it does not take long to learn how to use this drone you can fly a map depending on how big the area is you can.
DJI Tera 3D Map & 3D Model
Fly a map in a couple of minutes it really is that easy and it’s all self-automated so you basically go into your remote control or you could do it through DJI Tera on your computer if you want to but you go in and you set the area that you would like to map the drone comes up with its path it comes up with the different angles it needs to take so that it can make a full 3D map and then you put those photos into DJI Tera which creates your 3D model this gives you the ability to see the change in your terrain over time you could do a map every single day.
Drones we recommend
it’s very very similar to the DJI Phantom 4 RTK you can do many of the same functions with it except this one also has a multi-spectral sensor on it you get six of them we get RGB camera and five other sensors that’s give you an idea of your plant health. when half of your field dies you’re going to get this drone up in the air it’s going to be able to tell you if there’s a certain section of your field.Â
These are really really powerful tools and like I said they are not that hard to learn I know it seems like a lot if you’re not somebody who’s super tech-savvy that’s what we’re here for to answer questions to help you get through this process and to help integrate drones into your farm.
Seeding in Spring with DJI Drones
now you can take the information that you get from the DJI Phantom 4 multispectral and you can upload that to your DJI AGRAS T20 this is a giant agricultural spraying drone it also has a spreader you can put on that can carry 20 liters of pesticide and can cover more than 20 acres in an hour really amazing technology what’s great about this is it actually cuts back on your need to use pesticides so by using the DJI phantom 4 multispectral
DJI AGRAS T20
DJI Drone Monitors Weak Areas of the Field
you’re going to be able to figure out a prescription for it and then you’ll spray that area and instead of covering the entire field you’re going to be able to just cover that problem area it’s going to save you some money on pesticide you can also use a drone-like this for other things on the farm we actually loaded it up with some liquid de-icer and used it on our driveway we had a bunch of thick ice thereafter we had a snowstorm and then a little bit of rain that came so we used that on our driveway and it worked it’s a really great tool I know it’s intimidating but it’s great to use on the farm for many different reasons.
Pollination or Fertilization with Drones
pollination I know that wasn’t something we had actually thought about either but we had a customer last year who actually landed his airplane in our backyard that was kind of cool but he was interested in using our big spraying drones like the DJI T16 or the DJI T20 the ones that have the really big blades on them he wanted to use that to pollinate his field sounds kind of crazy but it’s actually pretty simple and could be pretty useful for many people on the farm they just fly really low over the plants that kick things up and pollinate the rest of their field really interesting way to use a drone

Use of Thermal Camera
The Mavic 2 enterprise dual has a low grade thermal on it but what’s great about that is you could actually take this drone out at night if you’ve got the proper authorization to do so if you don’t we can help you get that as well but you could take that drone out at night and actually get their heat signatures so you could count you could see all of your sheep all of your cattle you can see their heat signatures in the middle of the night and know exactly where they are you’re gonna know if there is a predator around you could see coyotes or any other predator that is around your farm and make sure that you are taking the proper steps to protect your animals.
