Description

The best drone maps and models come from the best drone flights. Automate aerial mapping with your DJI drone and get high-resolution maps and 3D models in minutes. From takeoff to landing, the Skycatch drone flight app will autonomously fly your DJI drone and perfectly capture photos for 3D mapping. Use with the latest DJI drones: * DJI Phantom 3 Advanced / Pro * Phantom 4 / Pro * Inspire 1 / Pro "Using Skycatch tools helps increase field productivity related to material staging and site logistics by up to 3 hours per week.” — Scott W, DPR Construction How it works: 1. Outline the area you want to map. 2. Tap TAKEOFF to send your mission to your drone. Drone will complete mission autonomously. 3. Upload photos from your drone’s SD card to https://upload.skycatch.com and Skycatch photogrammetry will automatically cloud process into aerial maps and 3D models. It’s that easy! Now you can view and share your processed data online and even markup, measure, overlay BIM & CAD files, and more. Key features: - In-app guidance plus quick access to tutorials, help docs, and chat support. - Select the resolution you want and the app automatically calculates waypoints, altitude, speed, and overlap. - Flight direction control: change the direction/heading of flight path depending on wind, terrain, and obstacles. - Multi-flight missions: plan your entire flight once and if you need to replace your battery mid-flight just hit ‘Continue’ to pick up right where you left off. - Save mission plans without having to re-plan — perfect for multiple sites and recurring data capture. - Watch live video feed of your drone's flight right in the app.

Also is the only app that I know of that lets you change flight heading/direction which has saved me a lot of headache flying on construction sites around cranes. Please come out with Mavic version!

Randomly dropped connection to the drone both times and couldn't reconnect. I had no control over the drone and had to just wait for it to finish the route and auto-land. Thankfully it didn't crash or fly away, but I was worried it would the entire time. Not a pleasant experience. Major issues need to be addressed before I would ever consider using this app again.

Can't change the flight direction to accommodate for the direction of he wind. Lots of little things are missing. Can't even change the size of the area once you've set it up. Wish I had saved my money there are way for mature and better mission apps out there! Also needs to let you calibrate the compass prior to flight.

I've been using Commander to plan & execute drone flights in field nearly since it was realesd in the App Store. The experience is very clean and non-buggy. I strongly suggest this app for anyone getting into drones especially if you have the Phantom 3, 4 or Inspire. There are unlimited use cases out there for mapping and the Skycatch Processing engine is also really impressive, producing very high resolution maps. Commander's ability to store missions is very helpful along with the ability to split up flights into multiple routes (enabling one to swap batteries). Thanks so much Skycatch, I'm looking forward to what's to come!

Being acrophobic and starting a mission from the rooftop wasn't helping either, but with a couple of more experienced friends and commander, everything went smoothly: Just drew the mission, armed and let it fly. Everything happened nicely: the phantom flew away, did its thing and landed back where it was supposed to, so alI had to worry about was getting down from the roof and processing my data. Can't wait to fly my next mission, hopefully from the ground this time.

Really wish I can change leg direction, but their support says it’s coming in the next release. I flew a short mission over the weekend and uploaded to the Skywatch dashboard yesterday, got an email saying it was done and a link. The quality was really good, better than what I’ve seen on other sites. Not ready to pay for a subscription yet, still just testing it out but top choice so far.

I've made a few very cool maps already. Here's the problem: You get a 30 day free trial, and after that, although the map is free, you have to send the photos into their website and have them create the map. The basic subscription is $199/month!!! Maybe I'm reading something wrong, but it sure looks like you pay nearly $200 a month if you want to keep making maps after the 30 day free trial.

For anyone getting into fly drones this app is a must have. Commander's ability to create precise flight areas is what I love most. You can make sure you don't go into areas you shouldn't be all the while mapping everything in your flight path very carefully. It's ability to store missions is super useful as well. I love that they have thought out everything from splitting the flights into multiple routes (so you can swap batteries) and storing your progress in a mission so you don't waste any time! Thank you Skycatch! You guys rock! Keep making awesome apps!
