When I first got started with the Pix4d capture app it asked what kind of drone I would be using. I chose my Phantom 4 pro. Now I’ve decided I would like to use my Mavic Pro Platinum. Where can I change this in the App?
Hi Perry,
The drone can be selected in the general setting of the app. More here: (Android) General settings and (iOS) General settings.
I would also recommend you to check the other sections of the Mobile knowledge base as they contain a lot of useful articles:
Best,
Hi Blaž at Pix4D.
I don’t want to disrupt Perry’s post, but in this post is the only reference about DJI Mavic Pro Platinum here.
Would you please confirm me Pix4Dcapture App will work with DJI Mavic Pro Platinum?
As far as I know the difference is a quieter flight and extended time aloft (Improved ESC, motors and propellers) compared to DJI Mavic Pro.
The best and thank you!
Hi,
We have not tested the compatibility of the DJI Mavic Pro Platinium. with Pix4Dcapture. It is then not officially supported and we can not guarantee that it will work.
However, having a closer look at the differences between the Mavic Pro and the Mavic Pro Platinium, it is mainly the autonomy which has been increased and the noise reduced.
Then, I would expect it to work properly with Pix4Dcapture by selecting the Mavic Pro. Don’t hesitate to share with us your feedback if you plan a mission using the Mavic Pro Platinium.
Hello Gaël @Pix4D and thank you for your reply.
We are planning to test and use the Mavic Pro Platinum due improved time aloft and quietness for engineering and construction practices in our city.
It will be very interesting to share experiences between Pix4Dcapture and this new DJI Mavic Pro version.
The best.
Hello Perry.
Please let us know kindly when possible, about your experience using Pix4Dcapture and the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum.
The best and thank you in advance!
We successfully tested the Mavic Pro Platinum over the weekend with 2 mission flights on diffrent locations. Simply select the model DJI Mavic Pro and fly. Before, a connection to the app DJI + CTRL must exist. the rest works automatically as seen in the demo videos.

Wir haben die Mavic Pro Platinum am Wochenende erfolgreich mit 2 Missionsflügen getestet. Einfach DJI Mavic Pro auswählen und fliegen. Vorher muss eine Verbindung zur App DJI+CTRL existieren. der Rest funktioniert automatisch wie in den ganzen Demo Videos zu sehen ist.

Thank you Christian.
Very kind to share your experience with the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum and the first project.
I was checking your project and I found there are might have focusing issues and unfortunatly in random images I inspected are not sharp.
And maybe the problem persists til the platinum version.
The best.
It was the Platinum version!
This was just a test project, first flight without knowing the exact camera settings.
Just to show the compatibility of the Platinum with the Mavic Pro version in Pix4D Capture.
We have now flown a 40 Ha large woodwork in Bavaria to get dtm data of it. Here we got over 3000 images from 80m altitude with very good sharpness. I will post a screenshot later.

Thank you Christian for your valuable feedback with DJI’s Mavic Pro Platinum and the setting “Mavic Pro” at Pix4D Capture app.
Looks promising in the direction to solve the focusing issue.
Please share a few random screenshots, your tablet hardware, iOS or Android and so on.
The best!

Ich bin mit 2 Mavic Pro Platinum geflogen und habe jeweils ein Samsung Galaxy S5 und ein Samsung Galaxy S7 edge verwendet.
Probleme beim connecten mit der “CTRL+DJI” App sind hier im Forum schon erwähnt wurden und hatte ich auch beim mir.
Weiterhin wurde der Flug auf der “P4D Capture” irgendwann nicht mehr richtig synchronisiert, man hört dann nur noch das auslösen
(klack) der Kamera, aber die Position der Drohne auf dem Bildschirm hinkt hinterher oder bleibt zeitweise ganz stehen. Auch dieses Problem ist bereits bekannt und wurde hier im Forum schon diskutiert. Man kann vor dem Start der nächsten Mission die P4D Capture App einmal schließen und neu starten, dann funktioniert es wieder eine Zeit lang, bis das Problem erneut auftaucht. Das Problem scheint auch unabhängig vom Smartphone oder Tablet zu existieren, da verschiedene User mit verschiedener Hardware das Gleiche berichten.
Hier ein paar Projekt Screenshots. Das ganze Projekt konnte ich nicht hochladen, da 92GB
