Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I just use DJI Pilot 2?
DJI Pilot 2 is great for flying the drone, but it can't communicate with or control the ROCK LiDAR sensor. Only the ROCK Pilot App can manage LiDAR settings, perform automatic calibration, and provide real-time feedback on your data quality.
Is the ROCK Pilot App a separate purchase?
No, the ROCK Pilot App is included with your ROCK hardware and software package. It's a core component of the ecosystem designed to work seamlessly with our LiDAR systems.
What controllers are supported?
The app runs on DJI Smart Controllers that come with the M300, M350, and M400 series drones, including the DJI RC Plus.
Can I import existing flight plans?
Yes! You can import KML files from other planning software or create new missions directly in the app.
