We are looking to purchase another DJI drone (not phantom 4) that is compatible with pix4d capture, specifically for creating orthomosaic. We ran into a lot of glitches with the phantom 4 and pix4d capture. Please let me know what is the best dji drone for that purpose. We the pix4d suite: capture pro, cloud, matic, and survey.
Hi @tpw-uav,
Welcome to the Pix4D Community .
Please note that from October 3rd, 2023, PIX4Dcapture (legacy) is no longer available from the Android Play Store and Apple App Store. This app is also not supported by our team anymore.
We suggest trying our new flight app: PIX4Dcapture Pro.
If you have questions on the difference between PIX4Dcapture and PIX4Dcapture Pro, please have a look here: Differences between PIX4Dcapture and PIX4Dcapture Pro.
Before deciding for any drone, please check the list of supported drones here:
All drones from that list are adapted for orthomosaic generation. Just make sure that the images have a good quality (not blurred, overexposed, etc.) and that the overlap is enough.
The DJI Mini 3 and DJI Mini 3 Pro only support Grid Mission (Generic) inside the PIX4Dcapture Pro app. These drones don’t support the Terrain Awareness feature either.
Also note that, to process data in PIX4Dcloud and PIX4Dmatic, it is not necessary that images are acquired with PIX4Dcapture Pro. You can use any image acquisition app of your choice.
Cheers,
Daniele
