DJI Zenmuse L3: Survey-Grade LiDAR Sensor for Matrice 400

Overview

DJI Zenmuse L3: Long-Range LiDAR and Dual 100 MP Camera Payload for Survey-Grade Mapping

The DJI Zenmuse L3 is a long-range LiDAR and dual 100 MP mapping payload designed for survey-grade aerial mapping, topographic surveys, infrastructure inspection, and digital twin creation. Built for the DJI Matrice 400 RTK, it delivers up to 950 m LiDAR range, 2–4 cm accuracy, and high-density point cloud capture, helping surveyors and engineers map larger areas faster with fewer flights.

Equipped with a 1535 nm Class 1 laser and dual 100 MP Micro 4/3 cameras, it delivers up to 950 m range and 2–4 cm accuracy for professional surveying and digital-twin applications. Additionally, the L3 integrates seamlessly into DJI Terra workflows to output point clouds, orthophotos, and 3D models—all within a single processing environment.

Exceptional Range, Accuracy, and Efficiency

The Zenmuse L3 combines long-distance LiDAR reach with exceptional spatial precision. Its reduced 41 mm beam diameter and 0.25 mrad divergence produce higher-resolution point clouds and finer target separation.

Adjustable scanning rates from 100 kHz to 2 MHz, plus up to 16 returns, provide flexibility for both dense urban modeling and deep vegetation mapping.

Highlights

• High-efficiency mapping: covers up to 10 km² per flight or 100 km² per day
• Survey-grade accuracy: delivers 2–4 cm precision for mapping applications.
• Adjustable point-rate control: 100 kHz – 2 MHz to balance density and coverage.
• Configurable returns: 16 (100 / 350 kHz), 8 (1000 kHz), 4 (2000 kHz).
• Dual 100 MP Micro 4/3 cameras: generate orthophotos and colorized point clouds.
• Real-time point-cloud preview: measure points, lines, and areas in DJI Pilot 2.
• Compact low-power design: 1.6 kg payload draws only 64 W typical power.
• Rugged environmental build: IP54 rated for –20 °C to +50 °C operation.
• Streamlined workflow: integrates directly with DJI Terra and Modify.
• Supported aircraft: DJI Matrice 400 RTK only.
• Mounting system: DJI Skyport quick-plug single-port gimbal bracket.
