(*) These apps allow flight lines with a constant height above a digital terrain model layer that can be imported, which is recommended when working in hilly areas.

(**) Terrain following is only possible in DJI Pilot (2) for the DJI M300.
It is not supported for the Phantom 4 RTK on the “SDK controller” running DJI Pilot.
For terrain following with the Phantom 4 RTK, use the integrated controller running GS RTK.
