Hi Mike,
When you caputure images with your drone, you will also capture exif data on every single image. The Exif data contains information about x, y and z, camera info and date.
The x and y you can use in QGIS to create points with the position of the drone and a link to the single image.
Import Geotagged images is the algorithm. This is with or without RTK. RTK only gives you extra accuracy.

The single image is not an orthophoto to use for background.
In that case I can reccomend to use WebODM.org That is an OpenSource program for dronedata.

Hello
Im very new and trying to learn about QGIS. I took images with my Matrice 4t and my RTK wasn't working at the time. My question is can I still use them in QGIS with the meta tag so they know there location when I import them? So any information on how to do it would be great
