@ScottTometich We should be in beta at the start of the 3rd quarter of this year with a final release targeting the 4th quarter. If you're interested in participating in our beta please send our product manager @AustenThum a message. We are looking for individuals which are willing to test and provide us with candid feedback.

@JoabelBarbieri great question. We are working on a version of Flight that you can run on drone's controller. This will initially support DJI M3E and the DJI M4E.

This is interesting, Can you talk more about your workflow? Are you importing the images on the same iPad which flew the mission?

@JakimFignole These are great requirements and I would like to share we are working on some enhancements in this very area in the app that should be available next year. In the meantime, I have some ideas you could try. 1. Use the "Mission Location" search feature when planning your flights to search for specific coordinates. This should search for that location and center the map at that location. 2. Then tap the "Center Mission Area to Map" button in the mission data panel. This will move the panoramic location to the center of the map which should be the coordinates you just entered in step 1. I know, I'll be the first to admit, this is a little clunky but we are working to improve this workflow as we know the shot lists you are provided with are getting more sophisticated and detailed. We would love to talk with you about your day to day needs. If you're interested please just send an email to bpierce@esri.com. Hope this helps.

Good question @LenOlyottMountIsa , In order to use the M3E or the M4E with ArcGIS Flight you must download the 5.2 (or newer) version of ArcGIS Flight as well as install the Flight Connection Android app on the drone's controller. This app helps the iOS version of Flight, running on the iPad, communicate with the newer DJI drones like the M4E. Instructions on how to implement this workflow can be found in the ArcGIS Flight Documentation . But we're not done with Android. We are also currently working on a version of ArcGIS Flight which will be redesigned to operate directly on the drone's controller with no iPad in the mix. This app will be an Android application as all the new drone controllers imbed Android devices. Were hoping this will greatly simply field operations by eliminating the need of having to connect an iPad with the controller which in turn connects with the drone.

@JeffreyEbner Thanks for the feedback. We are working on support DJI's Matrice 4 Enterprise (M4E) drone right now and hope to be able to support this vehicle in our next release of ArcGIS Flight. We are also certifying use of DJI's D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Base Station and hope to support that hardware in the same release. @AustenThum FYI

Unfortunately, we can't support this drone platform because Skydio does not provide a public SDK (Software Developer Kit) which would allow the Flight app to communicate with the drone and provide the appropriate instruction prior to autonomous flight. All the drones we currently support including the upcoming DJI M3E have public SDKs which we use to integrate with that platform.

We are considering supporting this drone platform at a future release. Please up vote if your organization has interest in it.

@KevinChan331 we are currently working on supporting the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise (M3E) and should be in public beta early next year. After that, we will be evaluating what other drones to support next so ideas like this really help us get our priorities straight so thanks for sharing. DJI Matrice 350 is certainly on that list. @AustenThum FYI

Hi @DylanHinton, Thanks for the question. In the current release of ArcGIS Flight the app is using the waypoints that are optimized for a photogrammetry type missions. For video mode, we are using the same waypoint file but instead of taking still photos we are instead starting a recording session at the start of the mission and turning it off at the end. I have added a more "cinematic" style video smoothing option as an enhancement we can consider for a future release. As far as suggestions, perhaps reducing the number of "photos" taken for the mission might smooth out the flight path slightly but I feel the true solution would be for the Flight app to create a mission designed and optimized for this very workflow/use case. Something I think the team should consider in future releases as I can see it's value.

@DanielMelendrez thanks for adding this idea, this is on our roadmap and we are working on supporting this payload in the future 5.1 release of the ArcGIS Flight app.

HI @AWildHealy I'll be at the conference next week and would be happy help you. I work out of Esri's office in Portland. I'll DM you with my work email address.

Thanks Jakim and thanks for your interest. Just a point of clarification we are not in beta yet and probably won't be until late into the fall but excited to be supporting the M3E soon.

‎08-20-2024

Hi Jakim, Thanks for reaching out. Our goal is to support the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise first and then we will focus on other drones shortly after that. Please send your contact info to bpierce@esri.com and I will be sure to add you to our beta list and keep you informed as to our progress.

The ArcGIS Flight team is excited to announce that the first version of ArcGIS Flight has been officially released in the Apple app store. For more information please have a look at this post in the ArcGIS Blog which provides a good introduction to the app.
