It is designed for comfortable fieldwork even on long distances. The aluminum pole is lightweight and foldable. It’s compatible with Reach RS2 receiver and other geodetic equipment. The pole comes with a carry bag.
Usually, such images have precise coordinates, but sometimes during the flight, it’s not possible to maintain a proper RTK connection between the drone and the base. As a result, some photos are taken in the FLOAT or even SINGLE solution and require post-processing. And with the latest stable release of Emlid Studio, you can easily update them with precise coordinates.
