Eu sou Geógrafo, comecei a usar drones para obtenção de imagens para mapeamento recentemente. O software Pix4Dmapper está me deixando muito satisfeito com os resultados. Recomendo muito :) :) :)

Hola ... tengo un problema ... al cambiar la bateria del drone ya no puedo continuar con la misión como puedo hacerlo ... De antemano gracias
Hola Jose,
Para saber cómo lograr vuelos con varias baterías utilizando Pix4Dcapture, le sugiero que lea este artículo en nuestra Knowledge Base. Te explicará los diferentes pasos a seguir.
Saludos
Very good and easy to use, but need speed internet, timings and Hight capacity PC for running
We have been using a variety of flight planning APPS on iOS and Android devices.
We find the following functions missing in Pix4DCapture:
1. not being able to name flights in the Projects area, or upon saving a mission
2. no mission planning administration, meaning no function to share a flight plan with other users for their import
3. no KML/KMZ import function
4. no terrain following mode
We hope you will further develop Pix4DCapture to provide these options.
🌹💕
Flight area for every new flight is in the middle of the ocean. Can not move it to flight location. Please advise.
Hi Graham,
It usually happens if you don't have the GPS signal to your device. I would then suggest to you:
- to zoom out until you can see your position on the world map then position the grid over the desired location.
- Tap the button to recenter the grid over your current GPS position. (button on the bottom left corner of the screen).
Regards,
Sto utilizzando spesso l'app con dji mavic air. Perfetta in tutto tranne per una cosa. Mi piacerebbe vedere in app le foto mentre vengono scattate. Non tanto per valutare l'overlap ma per vedere l'esposizione delle foto. Fissando i settaggi di ISO e shutter, col variare delle condizioni meteo si corre il rischio di avere foto sovraesposte o sottoesposte. Poter cambiare continuamente tali settaggi direttamente in app senza passare per dji go sarebbe l'ideale. Spero accogliate questo feed per un prossimo upgrade.
Buongiorno Michele,
Grazie per il suo feedback. Nella sola versione iOS è disponibile la funzionalità Video feed all'interno della vista Camera: essa permette di vedere la visuale della fotocamera mentre il drone è connesso. Non è possibile visualizzare le foto prima della fine della missione al momento.
Hola, sigo las instrucciones al pie de la letra, pero no me reconoce el dron, es un mavic 2 pro, me he bajado la ultima versión de Pix4D, pero no consigue establecer conexión. gracias de antemano.
Hello,
I follow the instructions to the letter, but the drone does not recognize me, it is a mavic 2 pro.
I downloaded the latest version of Pix4D, but it cannot establish the connection. Thanks in advance.
Hola, he seguido paso por paso las indicaciones y no hay forma de poder iniciar una mision, tengo un phantom 3SE y la app lo reconoce como phantom 3 advanced, alcanzo a llegar a la pantalla donde la app verifica todos los parametros y al tener los 3 segundos pulsado el boton para despegue me da un mensaje que hay un error con el drone, con dji go funciona Perfecto.
Hello,
Here you can find all Supported drones, cameras and controllers
You may be able to find the answers you need in the online Troubleshooter, or in the documentation for Android or iOS. You can also connect with other users on the Community, that is closely monitored by our team, and ask for advice from your peers or check our basic checklist.
Please keep in mind that Pix4Dmapper can process images taken from virtually any application as long as they are of good quality and overlap. For more information: Which image acquisition app can I use with Pix4D's software?.
Hello
How can I upload a kml file to be used in pix4d capture ?
Currently, only available in Android: (Android) Import .kml/.kmz file
I like to know when or how I can use Pix4D Capture in the Autel Evo 2 Pro. I don't see the Autel in the drone list.
Currently, we don't have a plan to support Autel Evo 2 Pro with the Pix4Dcapture app.
I have to plan a number of flights, of small properties near to each other, but I can’t get the neighbouring properties in the flight plan, so I can’t do it all in one flight, so need to create numerous small area, but I can’t get the double grid small enough, it still over laps the properties I’m not allowed to photograph.
Please can you tell me how to create flight plans of a small property, for example the size of a small terraced house, is it possible, without over flying the property next door?
thank you
Geoff.
Hello,
You can plan a polygon mission and set the boundaries such that it would fly above the other properties. If that is not possible, the free flight might be the option but getting proper overlap would be difficult.
Hi,
very unstable app. I have the latest ver. of firmware for SC, updated firmware in my Mavic 2 Pro, Ctrl+DJI ver.1.9.9 Pix4D capture ver. 4.10.0 and very often during the mission the app stops after capturing certain amount of images ( around 20 or 30, it differs ) and go to the screen with Apps. Fortunately dron continue and finish the mission. I restart the app, but the telemetry does not work. Voice messages "going home and landing" are working properly. This happened to me several times. Sometimes the mission is accomplished successfully, but rarely.
