Introduction
The Agras MG-1P series (MG-1P / MG-1P RTK) aircraft are equipped with a wide-angle First Person
View (FPV) camera which enables observation of the landscape in front of the aircraft, allowing
operation areas to be identied and enabling pilots to avoid obstacles. Its second generation high-
precision radar with integrated obstacle avoidance radar module and forward, backward, and
downward altitude stabilization radar modules provides improved obstacle sensing and terrain
following capabilities. The quality of the aircraft’s industrial design and materials make it dust-proof,
water-proof (IP43 protection rating, IEC standard 60529), and corrosion-resistant. The MG-1P and
MG-1P RTK utilize DJI’s dedicated A3 ight control system with eight-rotor propulsion redundancy,
ensuring safe and stable operation at all times. The MG-1P RTK has a built-in DJI Onboard D-RTK
which provides more accurate data for centimeter-level positioning*.
The remote controller uses the DJI OCUSYNC
control distance of up to 3.11 mi (5 km)*, and is equipped with a bright, dedicated screen with the
DJI MG app built-in. Operation planning can be performed either using the remote controller only
or by ying the aircraft to waypoints. The Banked Turning feature in the DJI MG app commands the
aircraft to take corners without fully stopping, making ight operations more exible and efcient.
The remote controller’s Multi-Aircraft Control mode can be used to coordinate the operation of up to
ve aircraft at the same time, enabling pilots to work very efciently. Replaceable batteries make it
easy to use the remote controller every day and removable antennas make maintenance easier.

Feature Highlights
The MG-1P / MG-1P RTK uses a DJI dedicated ight control system, providing four operation modes:
Route, A-B Route, Manual, and Manual Plus.
The DJI MG app automatically produces ight routes based on your planned elds. Plan a eld by
walking with the remote controller or by ying the aircraft to waypoints. To start, simply select the eld
from the eld list.
In A-B Route operation mode, the aircraft will travel along a pre-planned route and spray its liquid
payload. Users can set the line spacing, ying speed, and other parameters.
In Manual operation mode, users can start and stop spraying manually and also adjust the spray rate.
In Manual Plus operation mode, flight speed is restricted and heading is locked. Except for the
heading, users can control the aircraft's movement via control sticks. Press button C1/C2 on the
remote controller or the corresponding button in the app and the aircraft will y one line spacing to the
left/right. (This is the default function for button C1 and button C2. They are customizable in the app.)
The MG-1P / MG-1P RTK also includes the Operation Resumption function. When pausing the
operation in Route or A-B Route operation mode, Operation Resumption records a breakpoint for the
aircraft. Users can resume from the return point when continuing the operation.

,
* This should be used with a DJI approved Network RTK service or a DJI D-RTK 2 GNSS High-Precision Mobile Station (sold
separately). Refer to RTK Functions (p. 43) for details.
The remote controller is able to reach its maximum transmission distance (FCC: 3.11 mi (5 km); CE / KCC / MIC / SRRC: 1.86
mi (3 km)) in a wide open area with no electromagnetic interference, and at an altitude of about 8.2 ft (2.5 m).

AGRAS MG-1P SERIES User Manual
The remote controller features Multi-Aircraft Control mode, which can be used to coordinate the
operation of up to five aircraft simultaneously. Turn the Aircraft Control Switch Dial on the remote
controller to switch control between the different aircraft.
The second generation high-precision radar mode works automatically in Route, A-B Route, and
Manual Plus operation mode. Altitude detection and stabilization functions are available in forward,
backward, and downward directions while the obstacle avoidance function is available in forward or
backward direction according to the direction of ight.
The spraying system includes a spray tank, liquid level meter, sprinklers, and other accessories. The
four sprinklers placed on the aircraft’s two sides provide evenly distributed spraying and coverage
of the liquid payload. Optimized structures and algorithms of the spraying system for more precise
spraying control and more effective leak and drip prevention.
The MG-1P RTK has a built-in DJI Onboard D-RTK, providing more accurate data for centimeterlevel positioning when used with the DJI D-RTK 2 or Network RTK Service. An optional Handheld
RTK or PC GS Pro is available for more precise eld planning, enhancing the accuracy of agricultural
operations.
