Coming Soon / Planned

We are currently working on detailed guides for the following platforms. In the meantime, please use the "Universal Setup" below.

  • Freefly Astro / Inspired Flight (Auterion NTRIP app — verifying)

  • Autel Dragonfish (verifying; NTRIP port must be in the 2000–2999 range)

Not compatible with real-time NTRIP (PPK-only workflows): Wingtra, Quantum Systems Trinity, Delair UX11. These post-process corrections after landing and cannot consume a live caster.

Need a guide urgently? Contact Support and we will help you set it up personally.


Universal Setup (For All Other Drones)

If your drone is listed in "Coming Soon" or not listed at all, use these standard NTRIP credentials. They work with 99% of all RTK drones.

Ensure your Remote Controller is connected to the internet via Wi-Fi Hotspot or a SIM Card. The drone itself usually does not connect to the internet; the controller relays the data.


Drone FAQ

How much mobile data does RTK use?

NTRIP correction data consumes approximately 1.5 to 2 MB per hour. Even a small 1GB data plan supports extensive flight operations. Connection latency matters more than bandwidth.

Can I use my iPhone/Android Hotspot?

Mobile hotspots function but present stability challenges during calls or power-saving mode activation. Professional mapping workflows benefit from a dedicated 4G Dongle inserted directly into the controller.

Can I use RTK with a consumer drone (Mavic 3 / Mini 4)?

Consumer models lack RTK hardware components and cannot be enabled via software. An alternative approach involves external GNSS receivers for establishing Ground Control Points using PPK/GCP processing methods.

Can I use one login for multiple drones?

Yes — you can enter the same NTRIP credentials in every drone. But only one drone can be connected at a time. If a second drone connects with the same credentials, the first drone gets disconnected and loses RTK mid-flight. For simultaneous flights, add a data stream per drone from your account dashboard.

Do I still need Ground Control Points (GCPs)?

RTK-equipped systems significantly reduce GCP requirements to zero or minimal check points. Traditional workflows typically require five to ten reference points. Maintaining at least one check point provides verification assurance.

Which Coordinate System should I use?

Most DJI platforms expect WGS84 coordinates. Mountpoint AUTO selects optimal reference frames automatically, while specific transformations (ETRS89 for regional compliance) require manual selection.
