Hi Pawel,

The antenna placement should be placed in a clear sky view without any obstacles and no electronic nearby to avoid interferences, we have this guide regarding this [antenna placement] (Antenna placement | RTK Modules)

It’s not necessary to put the antenna in the center of the camera. Some drones, such as DJI, have a designated place for the antenna and the module, and you can choose the offset in the photogrammetry software.

If you use a custom setup with your drone, then you will need to measure the distance between the center of photography of your camera and the antenna APC and add the offset value to the software.
