Long-range handheld LiDAR scanner

Staris

Extended-reach spatial capture for outdoor and large-scale environments.

Staris pairs a non-repetitive scan pattern with long-range LiDAR, 12 MP visual capture, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a 2.5-hour battery configuration.

Specifications describe the device; they do not guarantee a project outcome. Evaluate the full workflow and expected environment.

Workflow

Capture → Preview → Process → Measure → Deliver

Capture

Walk the environment while LiDAR, visual, and motion data are recorded.

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

Best evaluated for long-range and large-scale capture. The 450 m range applies at 80% reflectivity and should not be generalized to all surfaces or conditions.

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?

Best evaluated for long-range and large-scale capture. The 450 m range applies at 80% reflectivity and should not be generalized to all surfaces or conditions.

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.
