User Guide
P4 Multispectral
The P4 Multispectral is a high-precision drone capable of multispectral
imaging functions. The imaging system contains six cameras with 1/2.9-inch
CMOS sensors, including an RGB camera and a multispectral camera array
containing five cameras, all at 2MP with global shutter, on a 3-axis
stabilized gimbal. The spectral sunlight sensor on top of the aircraft detects
the solar irradiance in real-time for image compensation, maximizing the
accuracy of collected multispectral data. Image data can be used to generate
multispectral maps for plant and soil status analysis. The aircraft has a
built-in DJI™ Onboard D-RTK™, which provides precision data for centimeter-
level positioning accuracy. Multi-directional obstacle sensing is enabled by
forward, rear, and downward vision and infrared sensors.

- This should be used with Network RTK service, a DJI D-RTK 2 High Precision GNSS Mobile Station (purchased additionally) or post-processed kinematic (PPK) data (recommended when RTK signal is weak during operation).
The Vision and Infrared Sensing Systems are affected by surrounding conditions. Read the User Manual to learn more.
Remote Controller
The remote controller features DJI’s long-range transmission technology
OcuSync that is capable of controlling the aircraft and the gimbal cameras at
a maximum transmission range of 4.3 mi (7 km).
Connect an iPad to the remote controller via the USB port to use the DJI GS
Pro app to plan and perform missions. Export the captured images for analysis
and create multispectral maps. The remote controller has a rechargeable LiPo
battery with a maximum battery life of approximately 6 hours.

The figure below shows the function that each control stick movement performs,
using Mode 2 as an example. The left stick controls the aircraft’s altitude
and heading, while the right stick controls its forward, backward, left and
right movements. The gimbal dial controls the camera’s tilt.
*
The remote controller is able to reach its maximum transmission distance
(FCC/NCC) in a wide open area with no Electro-Magnetic Interference, and at an
altitude of about 400 ft (120 m).
The maximum runtime is tested under laboratory environment, only for your
reference.
Pictures will only be taken when the shutter button is fully pressed.
Using the P4 Multispectral
- Downloading the DJI GS Pro App
The latest version of DJI GS Pro is required when using with the P4 Multispectral. Search for DJI GS Pro* in App Store or scan the QR code to download the app on your iPad.
https://itunes.apple.com/app/dji-gs-pro/id1183717144?mt=8
When using your P4 Multispectral for the first time, activate it using DJI GS Pro. Ensure that your iPad has access to the internet.
-
Visit the official DJI website for more information about DJI GS Pro. https://www.dji.com/ground-station-pro 2. Checking Battery Levels
Press once to check the battery level. Press once, then again
and hold to turn on/off.-
Charging the Batteries
● Fully charge the batteries before using for the first time.
● Ensure to connect the Intelligent Flight Batteries to the charging hub as shown in the figure above.
● Ensure that the Mode Switch of the Intelligent Flight Battery charging hub is set to the Charging Mode position. -
Preparing the Remote Controller
Try to keep the aircraft inside the optimal transmission zone. If the signal
is weak, adjust the antennas or fly the aircraft closer. -
Preparing for Takeoff
****
Black propeller rings go on motors with black dots.| Silver propeller rings go on motors without
black dots.| Press the propeller down onto the mounting plate and rotate in
the lock direction until secure.
-
● Check that the propellers are secure before each flight.
Remove the gimbal clamp from the camera.| Power on the remote controller and
the aircraft.| Launch the app.
6. Flight
For a safe take-off, make sure that the Aircraft Status Indicators blink
green slowly (using RTK* or GNSS for positioning).
Takeoff
Combination Stick Command to start/stop the motors| Left stick (in Mode 2) up slowly to take off
Landing
Left stick down slowly until you touch the ground
Hold for three seconds to stop the motors
● Spinning propellers can be dangerous. Stay away from spinning propellers and
motors. DO NOT start the motors in confined spaces or when there are people
nearby.
● Always keep your hands on the remote controller when the motors are
spinning.
● Stopping motors mid-flight: Perform the CSC to stop the motors. This
function can be enabled in DJI GS Pro. Only stop motors mid-flight in
emergency situations when doing so can reduce the risk of damage or injury.
***** RTK positioning is recommended. Go to Mission View in DJI GS Pro, tap
the icon or RTK on top of the screen to go to the RTK settings menu, and then
select D-RTK 2 or Network RTK Account as the RTK data source. Enable the
aircraft RTK at the bottom of the menu. Otherwise, the aircraft cannot use the
RTK data.
