DroneDeploy Ground’s 3D Scan feature is compatible with iOS devices equipped with LiDAR sensors. These sensors are necessary for accurate depth sensing and spatial modeling.
The following Apple devices support LiDAR and are compatible:
iPhones
-
iPhone 12 Pro or newer
-
iPhone 12 Pro Max or newer
🔹 Note: Standard (non-Pro) iPhones do not include LiDAR and are not supported.
iPads
-
iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation and newer; 2020 onwards)
-
iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation and newer; 2020 onwards)
🔹 Only iPad Pro models with LiDAR scanners are supported. Other iPads (Air, Mini, standard) do not include LiDAR and are not compatible.
⚠️ Important Considerations
-
Device must be running the latest version of the DroneDeploy Ground App from the App Store.
-
Performance may vary slightly depending on the device generation, lighting, and environmental conditions.
-
Because the feature is still in beta, some instability and crashes may occur, especially after completing a scan.
-
Scan viewing is currently limited to the Web app. Mobile viewing is not yet supported.
