Technical data
| System specification | DJI Zenmuse L3 |
|---|---|
| System accuracy of the point cloud | At an altitude of 120 m: Vertical accuracy: 3 cm (RMSE) Horizontal accuracy: 4 cm (RMSE) At an altitude of 300 m: Vertical accuracy: 5 cm (RMSE) Horizontal accuracy: 7.5 cm (RMSE) Measured under the following conditions in a DJI lab environment: 1. the field contained objects with clearly recognizable edges or prominent angles. The DJI Matrice 400 was connected to a position-calibrated D-RTK 3 multifunction station. The flight route was created using the area route function of DJI Pilot 2 (with IMU calibration enabled) and linear scan mode. The airspeed was set to 15 m/s, the gimbal tilt was set to -90° and each straight segment of the flight route was shorter than 3300 m. 2. exposed, solid ground surfaces were used as checkpoints, which corresponded to the diffuse reflection model. 3) DJI Terra was used for post-processing with the "Optimize point cloud accuracy" function activated. |

Product Features
-
Performance without compromise
An integrated 1535 nm long-range LiDAR detects objects with only 10% reflectivity from up to 950 m away. This means that the L3 delivers reliable results even under difficult conditions - with unprecedented range and precision.
-
Maximum sharpness of detail
Two 100-megapixel RGB mapping cameras with a large field of view (107°) and mechanical shutter produce high-resolution, true-color images - perfect for precise orthophotos, DEMs and 3D models.
-
High accuracy and penetration
A precise POS system with a heading accuracy of 0.02° and a range repeatability of 5 mm ensures results accurate to the millimeter. Thanks to the low laser beam divergence, even fine structures such as power lines or vegetation are reliably detected.
-
Efficiency in a new dimension
In combination with the DJI Matrice 400, the Zenmuse L3 covers up to 10 km² per flight. This allows large-scale projects to be realized in record time - from planning to recording and evaluation.
-
Seamless workflow - from recording to the result
As part of the DJI ecosystem, the Zenmuse L3 fits perfectly into the end-to-end solution consisting of DJI Pilot 2, DJI Terra and DJI Modify. Point clouds, maps and 3D models can be captured, analyzed and shared directly in the cloud - securely, quickly and efficiently.
