ArcGIS Flight - Supported Aircraft and Cameras
ArcGIS Flight – Matrix of Supported Aircraft, Cameras, and Lenses (July 2024)
This resource describes the aircraft, cameras, and lenses that are supported for flight planning & mission control by the ArcGIS Flight app. This also includes the latest test firmware version and supplemental camera configuration information.
Important note: Site Scan for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Drone2Map, and ArcGIS Reality for ArcGIS Pro provide processing of any georeferenced drone image. If your drone is not supported by the Flight app, you may still use the manufacturer's application to capture images for processing in the aforementioned ArcGIS Reality products.
The following aircraft are subject to routine testing within ArcGIS Flight, and their performance can be verified.

Compatible Drones:
These aircraft are expected to be compatible with ArcGIS Flight based on testing on legacy versions or simulator testing. They are not subject to flight testing with ArcGIS Flight 5.0 and beyond. Users should be cautious about dependence on these platforms for possible future obsolescence and may consider upgrading their technology.
