DroneDeploy supports flight planning and image processing for many GPS-capable drone models. Use this guide to determine which drones are supported by our end-to-end solution and which mobile device you need to operate that drone. If we cannot fly certain drones today, you can still reliably process the datasets in DroneDeploy.
Note: please take a look at our guide if you are looking for the list of Recommended and Supported drones for flying Stand Count or Live Map. Due to the nature of this capture type, this functionality has more stringent hardware requirements.
Recommended drones
Mavic 3 Enterprise with RC Pro Enterprise Controller
The Mavic 3 Enterprise's high-resolution 20MP camera and mechanical shutter make it the perfect drone for capturing images and producing high-quality maps. You can also use it with DroneDeploy's Flight app.
Please see this page for details on RTK mapping with the Mavic 3 Enterprise.
Matrice 4 Enterprise/Thermal with RC Plus 2
The DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise/Thermal (Matrice 4E/T) is a compact, intelligent drone. It features a 4/3-inch CMOS 20MP wide-angle camera, a 1/1.3-inch CMOS 48MP medium telephoto camera, and a 1/1.5-inch CMOS 48MP telephoto camera, all integrated with a laser rangefinding module for precise data capture.
Please see this page for more information about the Matrice 4 Enterprise/Thermal drone.
DJI Air 2S
The best all-around choice for kicking off your drone program. Capture various media types, including panos, maps, and more, fully autonomously. This drone is suitable for surveying smaller areas.
Please take a look at this page for additional information on Air 2S.
Supported drones: flight and processing
Below, we list the drone type, whether it is supported for flight, processing, or both (indicated by the ✓ for supported), and the mobile compatibility. Drones listed as supported only for processing cannot be flown autonomously in the app; however, you can still upload and process imagery and data collected on these models. For more information on data processing, visit this page.

P1 H20 H20T |
DroneDeploy supports the P1, H20 and H20T payloads for flight with the DJI RC Plus controller. The XT2, Z30, H20N, and L1/L2 payloads are NOT supported for flight now. Processing is supported when flown in DJI Pilot 2. |

All "Officially Supported" cameras and lenses are tested rigorously with DroneDeploy. Your results with cameras other than those listed above may vary.
Technical support
We provide technical support and troubleshooting for Recommended and Supported Drones only. For an optimal experience, we strongly recommend using one of the drones best supported by DroneDeploy and the DJI SDK.
Third-party cameras
DroneDeploy can control supported DJI drones without a DJI camera, but it will not be able to initiate image capture. For example, you could create a DroneDeploy mission for a Phantom 4 with a RedEdge camera, but you would need to trigger image capture externally.
Initial setup for DJI drones
Please have a look here to set up your first flight.
