After trying the new Android app today, sadly every photo is out of focus and unusable.
I saw you mention focus problems in the update notes, but how do we get around this? If I use manual camera settings from dji go, then DroneDeploy wont connect again. Also it took multiple attempts to get the waypoint upload to work.
And at the end of the mission the orbit function did not work, the drone just returned to the home point.
Yes as I said it was mentioned, but how can I overcome it? The app is unusable with this problem. Why IOS first after waiting so long for Android. Is there no workaround?
Iām not sure if it matters to all apps, but one thing I run into is when I use manual camera settings in DJIGo4, even on previous flight to remember that I need to adjust camera settings before starting DD mission. If you leave it on manual when you shut down the drone on reboot it will not change the camera settings so when you get ready you will have the same camera settings as your last flight. Both DD and Pix4D behave this way for me.
Iām not sure what type of android you are using, but on my Samsungs I have to start in DJI to get camera set, then close DJI, go to applications and clear defaults (because Samsung thinks I clearly only ever want to do ONE thing when I connectā¦grrrr) and then unplug controller and re-plug it in so that it will ask what app I want to use and open DD. That is my workflow for starting a mission.
Iām using Mavic Pro. I havenāt tried hitting the focus button on controller while in DD app, but I canāt see why it wouldnāt work for manual focus.
@chasemgray Have you had any luck resolving focus issues on the X5 with the new releases? I appreciate your guyās hard work in resolving issues, btw. Sounds like itās no easy task.
I processed my map and everything looked fine, so whatever the problem is it isnāt an issue with my drone/device combo. Later this week Iāll be trying the appended orbit for the first time and Iāll report back.
OK, I had a very frustrating day yesterday trying to do offline mapping at a location thatās about 3 hours away.
At first the mission icons displayed with the edit icon (pencil) and I had to start, restart, unplug, replug several times to get a ready (airplane) icon. I finally started a mission which worked just fine except that the aircraft only took 5 shots, then the camera faced forward and finished the mission without snapping any more pictures. After that I couldnāt get a mission to fly and I kept getting the ācannot upload to a mobile device.ā message. So, I didnāt get to test the end orbit because I wasnāt able to get another mission to run.
Fortunately I had a competitorās app installed on my device and it worked flawlessly.
I really like so many things about DroneDeploy and it would be my first choice, but either its function is too obscure for my tiny brain to make it function or its very buggy.
