Now that DJI is on the US Department of Defense blacklist, we cannot use their drones. While the Astro Freefly is an excellent drone, it is out of the price range for most teams getting starting who were previously considering a DJI product. Please add support for more "pro-sumer" level drones in ArcGIS Site Scan. One such drone that seems capable and affordable is the Skydio 2+, although I am open to other makes and models that get the job done.

PS: I believe we would require the "Enterprise" firmware/software update for this drone in order to angle the gimbal 90 degrees for nadir imagery capture, and to force each image to be geotagged with GPS coordinates.

We've discussed this with Skydio and they are discontinuing their SDK which we would need to support their drones in our Flight app. 

You can use Skydio's native flight control apps and upload images for processing in Site Scan Manager.
