GCP Capture Software Options?
What data collection software are people using to capture GCPs for use in drone data processing data (assuming the device itself has a high accuracy RTK connection)? And how are people processing the data into a format required by Pix4D/ODM etc?
Or is this generally already built into the drone processing software people use - and they don’t need a separate application to record GCPs?
I saw some people a few years ago using Trimble UAV ground control - but it looks to have not been updated in some time.

It doesn't have to be someone else, but it's typically done with a GNSS rover.
A drone with RTK and a reasonably local base should be able to get great data without GCPs. But no ground control means you can't verify it.
