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. Vehicle Firmware Supported Cameras Notes Freefly Astro     1.5.18 , 1.4.6 Sony Alpha7R IV Supports both the Herelink and Pilot Pro Controller   DJI Matrice 300 RTK   v05.01.01.00, v06.01.01.00, v07.00.01.00, 09.00.0503 DJI Zenmuse P1   DJI Phantom 4 RTK       02.02.0616, 02.02.0611 Fixed Camera   Requires SDK controller. Controller with built-in screen is not supported   DJI Mavic 2 Pro       01.00.0770, 01.00.0797 Fixed Camera         Compatible Drones: These aircraft are expected to be compatible with ArcGIS Flight based on testing on legacy versions or simulator testing.

Hi, My name is Brent and I have been working at Esri 18 years this fall. It's been a wild ride, collaborating as a Product Engineer with various teams on the Software Products side of the business. Reading a post from Rosemary, it occurred to me when I was starting my career at Esri back in the olden days when we drove vehicles which burnt hydrocarbons and iPods existed (and had physical click wheels) I could have really benefitted from a mentor who I wasn't working with directly, knew Esri and had connections throughout the business.   So I guess that's what I'm offering up. Happy to meet at a cadence of your choosing, pretty flexible on the format. I work out of our Portland, Maine office so would have to be virtual but am in Redlands 2-3 times a year also. If your interested hit me up on Teams or just shoot me an email at bpierce@esri.com. Thanks!   ... View more
