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.

Features

• Power Lines & Linear Corridors
• Forestry & Environmental Management
• Transportation & Construction
• Topographic Surveying & Mapping
• Volumetrics and Aggregates
• Accurate Data. LiDAR resolution <3cm with telemetry, RTK, and Kalman filtering for stitching.
• Simple Software. User interfaces for operating the LiDAR payload and the 3D stitching.
• First Person Views. The LX-1 comes integrated with a front-facing camera that live streams to the pilot’s hand controller, making it easier for experts and non-experts to fly.
• 3D-Printable Spares. The LX-1 is based on DJI’s M600 hexacopter platform with all mechanical modifications fully 3D-printable! Should you ever require spare parts, you can print them yourself or we can print and send them to you.
• Rugged transport case. The LX-1 package is delivered in a rugged transport case that can easily fit into pickup truck bays or be shipped as oversized baggage.
