Welcome to your eBee RTK
Congratulations on your purchase of the eBee RTK, a complex and powerful yet
intuitive autonomous mapping system. We take great care to develop and design
the best possible hardware and software tools for quick, high-quality and easy-to-
use 2D and 3D aerial mapping.
The eBee RTK is a fully autonomous survey-grade mapping drone (UAV, RPAS or
UAS). It is capable of in-flight processing of RTK corrections from most leading
brands of GNSS/RTK base stations via its supplied eMotion flight control software
and ground modem. The built-in high-performance GNSS receiver in the eBee RTK
can process GPS and GLONASS L1 and L2 signals. The RTK coordinate correction
data it receives via its ground modem enables precise navigation and the stor-
age of image metadata with RTK-level positional accuracy, without the need for
Ground Control Points (GCPs).
Note: This manual refers to version 2.4 of eMotion and version 3.2
of Postflight Terra 3D software. The eBee RTK requires eMotion 2.4. If
you installed eMotion before purchasing your drone, check the ver-
sion and upgrade if necessary. You can consult the Release Notes for
changes included in more recent versions of the software.
