Hi Rob! The drone is in a link with the controller directly, it no longer needs a 4G sim in the drone to connect to a fixed base station as it goes all through the remote, we have a sim in the remote, but for areas where there is no cellular connection it still works the same, the only thing is we can not use the Fixed rtk bases station for offline activities, so we just use the virtual Rtk built into the controller. Works very well!
Xag have a very similar controller to DJI for the m500 mapping systems, but went this way with there spraying systems due to the robustness of being out in the field everyday. These are not built for camera drones
@@kostasjordan the P100 can map as well with it Realterra unit, and the P100pro can do it with its onboard FPV camera the same as the T40s Dji is great at the controller/fpv camera on the T40 as they came from a camera company. Where as the P100 came from a agricultural spray company and we fine is superior for actual Spray quality and it’s new automated flying sequence just released these last few weeks. We have used both and it all depends on what you are after in a drone T40 great for manual flying P100 great for large scale automation flights. That’s what we have found and what our customers also tell us.
Completely different design philosophies. To be quite frank the DJI remote is way too heavy for sprayer drone workflow, where you walk back and forth to the drone to replace 10kg batteries and topping it up for most of the day, they only ported it over from other applications for logistical reasons. Most DJI sprayer drone users are familiar with their camera drones, a lot of XAG customers either don't use computers very much or are semi computer illiterate, but they are quite adapt at using phones for work, so its best for them to design everything around the phone.
There aren't any need to compete by Remote Controller when DJI T40/T50 has so many Issues 🤥 Dont really needs a High-Resolution Camera to see how the System fails
