Notes

• No circular mission available for DJI drones but the camera can be adjusted to face the center of the grid.
• Beta support of 3DR Solo with GoPro Hero 4 (Black or Silver) only.
  

What is new

• Double grid mission: New type of mission for better 3D models reconstruction for DJI drones except P2V(+).
• Save offline background (roadmap or satellite) per project for several zoom levels. They are loaded only if there is no Internet connection.

Improvements

• Single grid point of interest: The camera can be adjusted to face the center of the grid throughout the flight. This feature is recommended for the reconstruction of facades.
• Ability to resume the upload to the cloud in case of failure. It is useful when uploading large projects as it prevents from starting the upload from the beginning if it fails.
• UI improvements.

Bug fixes

• Takeoff checklist:
• Mission uploaded to drone: The app checks whether the mission is completely uploaded before taking off.
• Camera is ready: The app checks whether the camera shutter is activated.

• Various bug fixes.

Known bugs

• (Inspire 1, Matrice 100) When flying with a Zenmuse X5 camera, the automatic synchronization that usually starts at the end of the flight fails. The mission should be synchronized manually but it could still fail. For more information: How to synchronize and upload a mission to the Pix4D Cloud. In this case, processing without the .p4d file is recommended.

Notes

• No Circular Mission available for DJI drones.
• Beta support of 3DR Solo with GoPro Hero 4 (Black or Silver) only.
  

What is new

• Support of DJI Matrice 100.
• Picture trigger mode: Triggering the camera is now based on a time lapse. The app used to send a signal to take a picture which is no longer the case. The distribution of the images along the flight path is expected to be more regular.

Improvements

• (Grid Mission) Improved overlap: More accurate computation of flight characteristics that depends on the overlap.
• (Grid Mission) Synchronization of the images: The new picture trigger mode can make the images very close to each other in terms of visual content. It happens in the corners when the drone slows down whereas the time lapse is fixed. When synchronizing the mission, redundant images are discarded. These images might also be blurry because the drone turns in the corners. Therefore, there are more images on the drone’s SD card than on the mobile device and in the .p4d file.

Bug fixes

• Fixed bug where overlap percentage was not shown on some devices.
• Various bug fixes.

Known bugs

• (Inspire 1, Matrice 100) When flying with a Zenmuse X5 camera, the automatic synchronization that usually starts at the end of the flight fails. The mission should be synchronized manually but it could still fail. For more information: How to synchronize and upload a mission to the Pix4D Cloud. In this case, processing without the .p4d file is recommended.

What is new

• Support of DJI Phantom 4 and DJI Phantom 3 Standard.
• Integration of DJI SDK 3.2.0.
• Ability to resume a mission that has been aborted or interrupted by taking over manual control. The incomplete portion is saved (a smaller grid mission with the remaining lines is created) so that it can be flown later e.g. after changing the battery or waiting for flying conditions to change.

Improvements

• (DJI drones) Full support, not in beta anymore.
• (DJI drones) Image download and synchronization.
• Ability to create and upload a single project file for all missions being part of the same project (beta option).
• Feedback improvement when adjusting a grid (color and alert message).
• UI improvements.

Bug fixes

• (Solo) .p4d file generation with image coordinates.
• Various bug fixes.

• DJI Phantom 3 Professional (P3P): beta.
• Parrot Bebop 2 (B2): beta.
• 3DR Solo (Solo): beta

Notes

• No circular mission available for DJI and 3DR drones.

What is new

• Support of 3DR Solo with GoPro Hero 4 (Black or Silver). If another camera is used, PIX4Dcapture cannot trigger the shutter of the camera so no images are taken.
  
• Brand new Mission Planner now called Project List. For more information: (Android) How to use the Project List.
  

Improvements

• (Bebop 2) Minimum firmware required: 3.2.0.
• Images can only be uploaded to PIX4Dcloud in full resolution. The low resolution option was removed.

Notes

• (Solo) The .p4d file generated at the end of the mission contains the image coordinates that are used to process in PIX4Dmapper but the app does not write in the image EXIF directly.
