I am flying P3P with latest app version. All proceeds well with preflight checklist except for uploading mission to drone. It appears to attempt it (hourglass icon) but then X’s out. I attempted numerous cancels and re-start and rebooting entirely. No dice. I see with the new app release it states:
Sometimes the mission cannot be uploaded (in the preflight checklist). Solution: Hit “cancel” and to start the mission again.
Again, I’ve attempted this multiple times. Can anyone else or Pix4D speak to this issue and progress on correcting?
Has anyone had any luck getting this working? In the other thread they mention it must be connected to ground station, do they mean DJI GO must be running?
I have issues with the app connecting to my P3 advanced. I recently updated the firmware today and downloaded the app today so I presume the are the latest versions. they need to upgrade the app
Regarding the problem with the mission that is not uploaded to the drone, sometimes it takes a bit long to send the mission details to the drone through DJI SDK (what allows the communication between the two). It could also be that the takeoff check list is not refreshed so the error remains and prevents you to start but the mission is indeed uploaded.
We would suggest to try the following:
Press Cancel in the takeoff checklist, and then Next again, it will refresh the status.
Cancel the mission, and slightly adjust the grid, e.g. the size, in order to force the app to upload the mission again.
Restart the mission, meaning close the app, disconnect the mobile device, switch off the remote controller and the drone.
I am flying Inspire 1 pro (x5 camera) and iPad mini 4. I am new to Pix4dcapture. I just downloaded the latest app version and my firmware is up to date.
Allok with the preflight checklist except for uploading mission to drone. Not orange, it just stagnate with the hourglass and does not complete.
I have tried cancelling out and reloading, remaking a new mission, rebooting, getting the drone in the air and hitting start (maps made easy requires this). Prettymuch everything mentioned in the response from Julie above. Frustrating because the clock is running on my 15-day trial and am not able to test it out.
We are aware of the fact that sometimes the mission loads quickly and sometimes very slow. It depends on many factor such as if camera is still syncing or doing something else. Sometimes we are just waiting on SDK answer and we just can’t influence it.
At the moment we recommend you to proceed with basic checks.

I’ve did all the recommendations many times and it still will not upload mission. It is very frustrating. I’m trying to perform mapping for an important industrial corporation. We have several Pix4D licenses. This bug is killing my project. If not resolved we will be moving to a new mapping vendor.
Is there a work around to the sdk issue?
i’m us iPad with inspire 1 wit z3 camera.
i’ve rebooted many time, uninstalled and reinstalled software,but same results.
tried small projects of every type, still no upload.
I think the issue you are encountering may be related to the Z3 camera. The Pix4Dcapture application supports the DJI Inspire 1 with an X3, X5 and XT camera, but does not list the Z3 camera. The Pix4Dcapture application is helpful to automate the flight and data capture process, but that is contingent on the software knowing the Focal length of the camera and as the Z3 zooms, these values would change.
Flying with P3P latest firmware, latest app.
“Unable to upload mission to drone” error occurs frequently.
For us, setting flight altitude at 50m or above RESOLVES the issue.
Not sure why that occurs. Can you please help with any idea on why we have such a behavior?
To achieve ground poin density under 2cm/px we have to fly manually in free flight mode, but it’s obviously not an ideal solution.
Any help?
The issue may have to due with the number of waypoints that your mission would require. I believe the P3P has a limit of ~100 waypoints, and if you are flying at a low altitude, the number of images/waypoints in your mission may exceed its hardware capabilities.
Ayer hice una plan de vuelo, pero estuve casi por tres horas ajustando los parámetros para que por fin la misión se cargara en el drone. Creo que el tema es relacionado con altura pase de 50 mts a 70 mts, pero no quería sacrificar calidad de imagen. sin embargo creo que la configuración debe cambiarse desde fabrica con una nueva actualización, por que es una aspecto que quita mucho tiempo y descarga las baterías. Y el tema es que no alcanzaba ni a las 2 hectáreas de recorrido. Equipo Phatom 4, Iphone 6 plus.
¿Está utilizando el modo rápido (fast) o seguro (safe) para capturar imágenes?
El comportamiento que usted describe puede ocurrir de vez en cuando. En caso de comportamiento inesperado, siempre recomendamos seguir nuestros pasos básicos de chequeo y resolución de problemas descritos en este artículo. Resolverá la mayoría de los problemas que se puedan encontrar.
Recomendamos especialmente reiniciar la misión desde cero. Para hacerlo, cierre la aplicación, desconecte el cable del dispositivo móvil, apague el control remoto y el dron. A continuación, encienda el drone y el control, vuelva a conectar el cable USB y abra Pix4Dcapture.
salut!
j’ai eu le même problème. après avoir tenter plusieurs alternatives, j’ai réalisé que cela (mission not aploaded to drone) est dû à l’insuffisance d’espace de stockage sur l’iPad ou l’iPhone. si vous avez le même problème, veuillez libérer assez d’espace sur le stockage de votre et recommencer, il est probable que ça marche. si le problème persiste, changez d’iPad avec un stockage assez important, ça marchera peut-être
cordialement!
I have been attempting to fly missions over the course of 3 weeks and cannot get away from the “Mission not uploaded to Drone” error. It is incredibly frustrating and has resulted in lost days of productivity. I need to know how to resolve this ASAP. I’ve run through every troubleshooting step I can imagine, and only occasionally am able to even start a mission.
Please let me know ASAP how I can upload a mission to my Parrot Anafi using Pix4D Capture
I continually get this error. One fix that worked (for awhile) was to clear all the data and cache from the app. Remove the battery from the drone, not just turn it off & on, & I believe the final piece was switching out cords. Took a while to figure that one that! Maybe start with a cord? Def sucks though & ya just spend hours & days with no answers
Just to give my own experience, the problem appears only when I was near my car, making electromagnetic effect. When I started far from my car, everything works well. I’ve understand it when I tried with an Android phone witch alert me about it.
