No Mavic 3 SDK Anytime soon...

[bkushner]

I was hoping DJI would work on the Mavic 3 SDK a little faster then they have considering I'm sure there are many pros that will be using this drone...but not to be.

Not this year and MAYBE next...doesn't sound promising..

They don't really have their own firmware taken care of yet... and wont for Jan +.. I really think its Release +1 Year for these for any drone that actually gets it.. I own a few newer ones but yah maybe this one will be different.

Well, given the fact, that they not even provide panoramas for the M3, it's no real surprise unfortunately. Still a shame but the SDK is probably nothing that DJI brings more money in the first place.

You can only hope, if you bought early, that all these features and promises are holding up.

We are still waiting for the SDK for he 2S.

DJI aren’t planning the sdk anytime soon for the M3, if ever - highly disappointing but I guess that’s typical DJI strategy - release product before it’s finished development - get the market to do their testing. The simple fact you can’t use the m3 with dronedeploy, pix4d, Dronelink, etc. is ridiculous as these apps provide incredible versatility and flexibility in the creative workflow for commercial users and the m3 provided the safest platform in most metro environments due to its low weight. I can’t see how they aren’t prioritising this.

DJI recently updated the ticket and this is what they sent me. It seems to indicate they are blaming apple and have seemingly been banned from submitting new products using the SDK to the App Store.

Looks like those using android based controllers may get a lot of corrections, new features, and hopefully mapping software by someone sooner than IOS users.

RC PRO FTW

When Apple categorically rejects apps, it is usually because data protection or privacy is being violated. So it seems that things are possible via the SDK that Apple says shouldn't be possible.

Regardless, third-party apps are essential for me, for panorama shooting with HDRpano or Missions with Dronelink. Shots like this are only possible with repeatable waypoint missions:



Therefore, my Mavic 2 Pros will not be replaced until an SDK for the Mavic 3 is available.
Besides, there are a few other things that are important for me to get sorted out before I buy a Mavic 3.

By then the Mavic 4 will be out.

Possible, but then probably with another year of waiting for a supporting SDK. ;-)
