I’ve had good success using Pix4D Capture Pro with my DJI Mini 3 Pro.
This used the “Build A” version - and this require using “virtual sticks”.
As I understand it - “virtual sticks” missions are running on the controller - and the app on the controller is actively operating the drone. Among other things, this means that a connection must be maintained between the drone and the controller.
I actually had a situation where the Pix4D Capture Pro app on the phone with my controller stopped. The drone simply stayed in place. It didn’t trigger a loss of connection failsafe because the controller was still communicating with the drone. All I had to do was restart the app on the phone - and then I could continue to operate. No problem.
I’m thinking of buying a DJI Mavic 2 Pro because of it’s 1-inch sensor 20-MP camera. From what I can tell, this drone works with the normal Pix4D Capture Pro app - not the special Build-A or Build-B versions.
My question is this: When not using “virtual sticks” version, does the drone have the mission uploaded to it so that it operates autonomously?
If so - can failsafes be configured so that if there’s a loss of connection between the drone and the controller that the drone continues on with the mission?
Thanks for your help!
