About the EMLID Reach RS4

The EMLID Reach RS4 provides the ground control accuracy that transforms drone data from approximate to survey-grade. With <20 second fix time, 5mm + 0.5ppm accuracy, and 24+ hour battery life, the RS4 ensures your engineer can rely on our deliverables.

Ground control points (GCPs) tied to real-world coordinates are what separate professional surveying from casual drone photography. We use the EMLID RS4 to establish GCPs that meet the most stringent accuracy requirements.

Key Benefits

  • Fast <20 second fix time
  • 5mm survey-grade accuracy
  • 24+ hour battery for full-day operations
  • 5G ready for future connectivity
  • Multi-constellation for maximum reliability

Considerations

  • Requires cellular or radio correction source for RTK

EMLID Reach RS4 Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you need ground control for drone surveys?

Ground control points (GCPs) tie aerial data to real-world coordinates with survey-grade accuracy. Without GCPs, drone data accuracy is limited by GPS alone (~1-2 meters). With GCPs, we achieve 1-2cm accuracy that engineers and surveyors require.

What accuracy can I expect with EMLID RS4?

The RS4 achieves 5mm + 0.5ppm horizontal accuracy in RTK mode. For a typical 1km baseline, that's approximately 5.5mm accuracy—meeting survey-grade requirements for engineering and construction applications.

How long does it take to set ground control points?

With the RS4's <20 second fix time, establishing a GCP takes approximately 2-3 minutes including setup. For a typical 50-acre site requiring 5 GCPs, ground control adds about 30-45 minutes to the field capture.
