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.

Any plans to support the Anzu Raptor? I understand that those are essentially DJI licensed designs, produced by a US-based company outside of China that use more secure software (Aloft). They state on their website that they have an SDK available. Maybe a good option for ESRI users with a limited budget that are trying to avoid the potential pitfalls of DJI?

@JoeBryant1 thanks for sharing. We don't have any immediate plans to support that drone manufacturer in the app but we can certainly consider it for a future enhancement. I will take this request to the team and perhaps we could do a little exploratory research. I definitely encourage you to submit a new Idea on our ideas site  . This really helps us understand the scope of the feature, get clarity on it's implications and it's overall applicability/popularity with existing users.
