Very Impressed my first attempt used Inpire 1 with X3 ( did try with Z3 first it stopped in mid flight)

very impressive... I did one of a georgian house to see if it could be done fairly swiftly... I down rezzed my files so the internet would swallow them (slow connection at home) and shot it with a phantom p3p... Its amazing what can be done... I used it for a presentation and the owners were thrilled!

My next attempt was dreadful!

People tell me that Pix4D is worth working with...

Looked at Pix seems a bit steep on price.
That was below 10 mins flight 111 Photos uploaded and returned very quick.
Possibility to improve with another flyover.
All a learning curve.
But I am going to commit to Drone Deploy has a lot of other Mapping features

Hi, The App is very easy if you have downloaded it, I have not used Simulator but did Programme flight through App, I know he Site well had photographed with Phantom 2 V +,Phantom 3 PRO and Inspire.
Ensure you close DJI GO first.You can always stop and return to Home.Go and practice in a good flying Area you know first no Obstacles etc. Go for 80% overlap.

80% overlap is definitely the way to go.

I'll also add that if your goal is to make a 3D model in DroneDeploy, it's helpful to manually fly an orbit around a point of interest in DJI GO. Point the camera at the POI so its roughly at a 45 degree angle and fly the POI orbit. Manually take a photo at every clock position and upload these photos to DD with your autonomous flight photos. The manually captured oblique photos help with creating vertical surfaces that the DD rendering engine can have trouble with when only using the autonomous flight photos.

I got this tip from one of the DD software engineers during their user conference last month and it worked out extremely well for me:
