DJI Matrice 350 RTK H20T/H30T: Drone configuration and flight execution with DJI Pilot 2 (to be moved to VKB)

The DJI M350RTK H20T/H30T is compatible with Volafly. We strongly recommend installing the app on your drone controller. Flight routes will be synchronized automatically, data uploaded to the right places and the settings described below will be automatically put in place by Volafly.

This article is relevant if you plan to fly according to the instructions given here: How to create your own flight routes.

The following settings are mandatory to successfully carry out Survey measurements in CSP/PV plants and must also be considered before doing the camera calibration

DJI Handbook for M350 RTK can be found here.

 

Pre-flight check

  1. check flight mode and battery

  2. check storage (recommended to format SD card before an new analysis)

  3. Max flight distance (depends on size of the solar field)

  4. Max Altitude (150 - 180 m (depends on legislation limits, elevation model of the plant and start position of the drone)

  5. Obstacle avoidance (usually ON!)
