Drone Harmony Mobile vs PIX4Dcatch: 3D scanner Usage & Stats
We have released Drone Harmony Mobile for iOS, the first Drone Harmony flight planning and execution app for iPhones and iPads.
You can now plan and execute flights on all iOS devices running iOS 14.0 or later.
The new app can synchronize with the Drone Harmony cloud, load sites, plan and adapt flight plans, and execute missions. It provides the required toolset to plan and execute missions from the Mapping & Inspection and Terrain categories in the flight plan catalog. You can also adapt missions planned in Drone Harmony Web on the iOS mobile device (e.g., gimbal adjustments).
Flight mission planning and execution in iOS
Future updates of Drone Harmony for iOS will include numerous key additions, such as the 3D interface.
Moreover, missions can currently not be executed in the virtual stick control mode, meaning that some drones (e.g., the Mavic Mini, the Mavic Air 2, and the Spark) and missions that include panorama waypoints, are currently not supported. The support of this flight mode will be included in an upcoming update.

With PIX4Dcatch, create 3D models and maps with your mobile device. Just point and capture to gather data, ready for accurate 3D model generation. Use it to recreate reality and measure the world around you.
You can pair it with a compatible RTK device to achieve centimeter-level accuracy for better 3D model precision and geolocation, and for performing single-point measurements.
To generate georeferenced 3D models, the collected images can be uploaded to PIX4Dcloud or exported to PIX4Dmatic. Both offer a 15-day trial to get started. Projects can also be freely exported, processed, and visualized in third-party photogrammetry software.
Workflow
1 - Scan: walk around your site. The app automatically gathers data and gives live feedback with iOS LiDAR, ensuring you capture every detail. For better accuracy, you can use either an RTK device compatible with PIX4Dcatch, our Pix4D targets with a fully automated workflow, or combine both for really accurate results.
2 - Upload or export: to process the data, upload it to PIX4Dcloud or export it to desktop software PIX4Dmatic. Get high-quality, accurate 2D and 3D outputs.
3 - Analyze and share: measure the space, share your results, and enjoy all the benefits of a detailed 3D model of your surroundings. Benefit from an immersive experience with augmented reality.
This workflow can be used for digitizing construction sites, measuring volumes (of stockpiles and other objects), keeping permanent records of underground utilities, and verifying your previously captured 3D models in AR in real time. Measure single points with confidence by using our compatible RTK devices. Digitize reality with your mobile phone.
Compatibility:
• Optimized for LiDAR-equipped devices
• All ARKit-enabled devices
• RTK devices: Pix4D adapted viDoc RTK, Emlid Reach RX, Trimble DA2, Bad Elf Flex, Leica Zeno FLX100 plus
Usage information guidance:
Ensure the app is up to date.
