Cobra SLAM LiDAR Scanners
Portable 3D capture with standard RTK and a choice of LiDAR sensors.
Combine LiDAR, multi-view cameras and IMU data to document indoor and outdoor environments. Preview coverage on the integrated display, then process colorized point clouds with MX-Fusion.
Choose your configuration
One platform. Two scanner versions.
Choose Cobra S for a lighter setup with a broad vertical field of view, or Cobra X for Hesai sensor configurations with higher point rates.
Hesai XT16 / XT32
Cobra X
1.92 kg with 360° horizontal coverage. Choose XT16 at 320,000 points per second or XT32 at 640,000 points per second, with a standard sensor range of up to 120 m.
Evaluate Cobra X →Need a longer-range configuration? Discuss an XT32M module for Cobra X. Hesai lists XT32M at up to 300 m; final scanner configuration and performance must be confirmed when ordering.

What is the difference between Cobra S and Cobra X?
Cobra S uses Livox Mid360 and weighs 1.28 kg. Cobra X uses a Hesai XT16 or XT32 configuration and weighs 1.92 kg. Compare their field of view, point rate and range in the specification table.
Is RTK standard?
Yes. RTK positioning is standard on Cobra S and Cobra X. Positioning results depend on the available corrections and field conditions.
Which formats does MX-Fusion export?
The Cobra catalog lists LAS, LAZ, E57 and PLY colored point clouds, plus 3D Gaussian splatting output through the supported software workflow.
Can I evaluate a sample before selecting a configuration?
Yes. Download the Cobra S Mid360 sample scan, or request a demonstration matched to your environment and deliverables.
Does standard Cobra X have a 300 m range?
The standard XT16 and XT32 sensors are specified by Hesai at up to 120 m. A 300 m sensor range applies to XT32M. Discuss the module and complete scanner configuration with ModeXion if you need that option.
