Parrot Anafi Ai

Before you start

• Your NTRIP username and password, from your Premium Positioning welcome email or your account on the customer portal.

• FreeFlight 7 (NTRIP).

• A working internet connection on the controller or phone.

• A clear view of the sky at the point you are measuring.

Network settings

These are the same for every Premium Positioning customer. Only your username and password are unique to you.

• Server or host: rtkpremium.xyz

• Port: 2101

• Mountpoint: COMMON

• Protocol: NTRIP

Steps

1. Power up and pair: Power on the Anafi Ai and the Skycontroller 4, wait for them to pair (the controller shows the live video feed), and open FreeFlight 7 on the connected phone/tablet. Make sure the drone has a clear view of the sky to acquire satellites before configuring corrections.

2. Give the controller an internet connection: Network (NTRIP) RTK streams corrections over the internet, so the device running FreeFlight 7 must be online for the whole session - via cellular data or a Wi-Fi hotspot. Without a live link the caster can't send corrections and the drone stays on standard GPS.

3. Open the RTK / precise-positioning settings: In FreeFlight 7, open settings/preferences and find the RTK (precise positioning / GNSS accuracy) section. Wording and location vary by app/firmware - look for the entry mentioning RTK or NTRIP.

4. Enable RTK and choose Network RTK / NTRIP: Turn on RTK, then select the network / NTRIP correction source (not a physical base station). On some versions this is a single 'Network RTK' or 'NTRIP' option; pick whichever points to an internet caster you enter manually.

5. Enter the caster host: In the NTRIP server / host field, enter: rtkpremium.xyz - same for every customer. No http:// prefix and no trailing spaces.

6. Enter the port: In the Port field, enter: 2101 - same for all customers.

7. Enter the mountpoint: In the Mountpoint (or Stream/Data stream) field, enter: COMMON - in capitals, same for all customers. If FreeFlight 7 offers a 'fetch source table' or list button, confirm COMMON appears before selecting it.

8. Enter YOUR NTRIP username and password: In the Username and Password fields, enter the personal credentials from your welcome email - unique to your account; do not use anyone else's. If you can't find them, contact support; never guess.

9. Confirm the protocol is NTRIP: Ensure the connection type/protocol is NTRIP (the default for network corrections). If asked for an RTCM format, leave it on the standard/automatic setting unless told otherwise.

10. Connect to the caster: Save/apply the settings and start the connection (Connect/Apply). FreeFlight 7 logs into the caster and pulls corrections; the drone also sends its approximate position (NMEA GGA) so the network supplies corrections for your location. A status indicator shows the link active.

11. Wait for RTK to converge: The RTK status starts at standard GPS / single, then progresses to FLOAT. Keep the drone powered with clear sky and a steady internet link while it converges - usually a few seconds up to a minute or two.

12. Confirm an RTK FIXED solution: Wait until the status reads RTK FIXED ('Fixed', a green RTK indicator, or 'RTK ready') - cm-level corrections locked in. Only fly your mapping/survey mission once FIXED. If it stays FLOAT or drops out, check internet, sky view, and that host/port/mountpoint/credentials were entered exactly.

If the fix will not hold

FreeFlight 7's exact RTK/NTRIP menu wording and field labels vary by app/firmware version; where this guide can't name a button precisely it describes what to look for. The device running FreeFlight 7 must stay connected to the internet throughout the flight. Always wait for RTK FIXED before capturing survey-grade data.
