LX-1 Echelon
LiDAR MULTIROTOR
The LX-1 “Echelon” is a professional-grade hexacopter equipped with LiDAR sensing payload designed for a wide range of high-resolution 3D mapping and surveying applications. With a total take-off weight of 12kg, the LX-1 can produce stitched 3D maps with 2-3cm accuracy—allowing surveyors to measure topography on a wide scale, and power line operators to inspect their lines and surrounding vegetation. The software system is plug-and-play, so that the pilot can record and process data without the need for advanced remote sensing or GIS expertise. The complete package flies for up to 20 minutes, built with survey-grade dependability and all-round user friendliness in mind.
