Before you buy

Frequently asked questions

Which drones does it fit?

The Matrice 400 (single or dual connector), the Matrice 350 RTK and the Matrice 300 RTK (single connector only, the 300 RTK with DJI RC Plus). A second payload on the dual connector reduces accuracy.

How well is it protected?

IP54 to IEC 60529, with a dry connector and the card cover closed.

How far does the LiDAR reach?

250 m at 10% reflectivity in daylight and 450 m at 50% in darkness. Recommended flight height is 30–150 m.

What accuracy does it deliver?

5 cm horizontal and 4 cm vertical, in a DJI test at 150 m with processing in DJI Terra.

How much area does one flight cover?

Up to 2.5 km² (on a Matrice 350 RTK, at 150 m and 15 m/s).

What changes compared with the L1?

The laser spot is about 1/5 the size at 100 m, so it penetrates vegetation better, with longer range and higher accuracy. The RGB camera has 89% larger pixels.

What jobs is it for?

Topographic surveys, power line models, forestry and measurement.

In which formats are results delivered?

In DJI Terra, point clouds in PNTS, LAS, PLY, PCD and S3MB, and trajectories in sbet.
