Lidar Drone Package

Post by JMontie »

My company is looking into purchasing a complete package. I was thinking of a Matrice 600 Pro and Velodyne Lidar as the base system. Any recommendations on where to look for a complete package? I know there are different configurations. We are located near the Texas Louisiana border. I was hoping there would be a supplier in the Houston area that would work with us.

Take a look at the ZEB HORIZON that was launched this week. It can be supplied with a mount for the Matrice 600 as per the image below.

There is a dealer in Houston who can help you out:

Thanks guys for the post. I'm trying to figure out what is out there, and who supplies the complete package. I thought it would be simple to find a reseller that would supply the whole package, but it is a little harder than I thought.

When it comes to UAV LiDAR you get what you pay for. The Riegl systems are really the only ones that I have seen producing good results. Other re-sellers and manufacturers may promise you a "high accuracy" system, but most of the data coming off of them is not good enough for survey-grade applications. Check out this helpful article from LiDAR News:
