Specifications describe the device; they do not guarantee a project outcome. Evaluate the full workflow and expected environment.
Workflow
Capture → Preview → Process → Measure → Deliver
Preview
Use the field interface to review point-cloud coverage and task status.
Process
Run the supported post-processing workflow.
Deliver
Export the required spatial-data and model formats.
Practical relevance
A balanced portable option when broad coverage, manageable weight, and practical indoor/outdoor range are central to the workflow.
Selection should consider range, field of view, point rate, weight, battery duration, reflectivity, environment, and downstream output requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What is this model best suited for?
A balanced portable option when broad coverage, manageable weight, and practical indoor/outdoor range are central to the workflow.
What output formats are supported?
Handheld output formats include LAS, LAZ, PLY, PCD, E57, CSV, TXT, BAG, DB, DXF, OBJ, and PLY-based 3D Gaussian outputs, depending on the workflow.
Does the listed range apply in every environment?
No. Range depends on reflectivity, atmosphere, angle, surface, and capture conditions. Any reflectivity condition shown in the specification must remain attached to the value.
Is 0.5 cm the absolute accuracy?
No. The brochure lists 3 cm product-level absolute accuracy and separately references a 0.5 cm relative-accuracy benchmark for supported workflows and conditions.
