# DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK

Connect the **DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK** (Mavic 3E, 3T, or 3M) to RTKdata.com's NTRIP correction service for centimeter-level positioning.

{% hint style="danger" %}
The consumer DJI Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Classic, and Mavic 3 Pro do **NOT** have an RTK module. This guide applies only to the Enterprise series with the built-in RTK antenna.
{% endhint %}

## Requirements

* **Aircraft:** DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise (3E, 3T, or 3M) with RTK module clipped onto the top of the aircraft
* **Controller:** DJI RC Pro Enterprise (the standard RC Pro does not support RTK)
* **Software:** DJI Pilot 2 — installed and updated to the latest version
* **Firmware:** Aircraft firmware updated via DJI Assistant 2 or DJI Pilot 2
* **Internet:** Wi-Fi hotspot from your phone or a USB 4G dongle plugged into the controller's USB-C port
* **RTKdata account:** Active subscription with NTRIP credentials

  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Europe" %}

  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Only these four mountpoints are valid. Typing local CRS names as mountpoints will result in **no corrections**. Always use **ALL CAPS**.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Connect and verify

* Tap **Connect** to save and apply the settings
* Move the drone **outdoors** to an open area with clear sky view — the RTK module requires a GNSS satellite fix before it can communicate with the NTRIP server
* Monitor the RTK status indicator in DJI Pilot 2:

| Status     | Color  | Meaning                                                                 |
| ---------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **SINGLE** | Red    | Basic GPS fix acquired. No corrections applied yet.                     |
| **FLOAT**  | Yellow | Correction data is being received and processed. Accuracy is improving. |
| **FIX**    | Green  | Centimeter-level accuracy is active. Standard deviation below 2 cm.     |

Convergence from SINGLE to FIX typically takes **30–90 seconds** in open sky conditions.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Vertical reference (heights)

{% hint style="info" %}
RTK corrections deliver **ellipsoidal heights** (height above the WGS 84 ellipsoid), not orthometric heights (height above mean sea level). If your workflow requires orthometric heights, apply a geoid model in your post-processing software.
{% endhint %}

## Troubleshooting

| Problem                     | Cause                                    | Fix                                                                                                                    |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| "No RTK Data Available"     | Drone is indoors or has no satellite fix | Move outdoors to open sky. The drone will not send GGA position data to the NTRIP server until it acquires satellites. |
| "No RTK Data Available"     | No internet on controller                | Open the Android browser on the controller to verify connectivity.                                                     |
| "No RTK Data Available"     | Wrong credentials                        | Re-enter username and password from your RTKdata dashboard. Credentials are case-sensitive.                            |
| RTK stays on FLOAT          | Obstructed sky view                      | Move away from buildings, trees, and power lines.                                                                      |
| RTK stays on FLOAT          | Out of base station range                | Verify your RTKdata subscription is active and you are within 50 km of a base station.                                 |
| Connection drops mid-flight | Weak internet connection                 | Switch from Wi-Fi hotspot to a USB 4G dongle for more stable connectivity.                                             |
| RTK tab missing in Pilot 2  | RTK module not attached                  | The small RTK antenna module must be physically clipped onto the top of the aircraft. Reseat it firmly.                |

## Tips

* **Firmware matters.** Some older firmware versions had bugs with Custom Network RTK. Always update to the latest version before troubleshooting.
* **RTK module must be physically attached.** The RTK antenna clips onto the top of the aircraft. If it is missing or loose, the RTK tab will not appear in DJI Pilot 2.
* **For mapping missions**, enable "RTK always on" in the RTK settings so the drone maintains corrections throughout the entire flight.
* **Battery swaps:** After swapping batteries, allow 30–60 seconds for RTK to re-converge to FIX. This is normal behavior.
* **Cold weather:** RTK convergence can take slightly longer in very cold conditions. Allow extra time before starting a survey mission.
* **Consumer Mavic 3 is not supported.** If you own a standard Mavic 3, Mavic 3 Classic, or Mavic 3 Pro, these drones do not have RTK hardware and cannot use NTRIP corrections.
