This commitment to premium technology underscores our mission to provide exceptional geospatial solutions, whether for environmental monitoring, infrastructure assessment, or land surveying.

LiDAR Drone Australia's Equipment Used on all LiDAR Mapping and Surveying Projects.

LiDAR Drone Australia has always been committed to pushing the boundaries of LiDAR technology to provide exceptional results for our clients. When we found that the DJI LiDAR systems fell short of our expectations, we embarked on a journey to explore and evaluate a wide array of LiDAR systems from around the world. Our mission was clear: to find a LiDAR solution that could not only deliver outstanding performance but also ensure cost-effective LiDAR point cloud data and deliverables for our valued clients. That quest led us to the remarkable Geosun GS-260X LiDAR unit.

​

The Geosun GS-260X represents a breakthrough in LiDAR technology, offering unmatched capabilities. To complement this remarkable LiDAR unit, we've paired it with the tried-and-true DJI M350 drone platform. This powerful combination allows us to capture aerial laser scans with unparalleled precision, setting a new standard in LiDAR data acquisition.

But our dedication to delivering comprehensive LiDAR solutions doesn't stop in the air. For ground-based laser scans, we utilize a specially designed vehicle mounting kit from Geosun, which enables us to mount the GS-260X to any vehicle, facilitating ground-based LiDAR scans with maximum efficiency and accuracy.

​

The LiDAR journey doesn't end with data capture; it continues with meticulous processing and analysis. To this end, we rely on the full professional software suite developed by Geosun. This software package is tailored to handle LiDAR point cloud data with utmost precision and efficiency. It includes the Professional Geosun Point Cloud Automatica LiDAR classification software, which automates the classification process, ensuring that our clients receive the most detailed and accurate data possible.

​

In a landscape where many drone operators are entering the field of drone LiDAR surveying using sensors like the Livox LiDAR module as used by DJI and a few others, it's crucial to distinguish between entry-level and high-end units. The Livox module, while suitable for some applications, falls short of the performance and capabilities we demand to meet the stringent requirements of our clients.

​

With the Geosun GS-260X, DJI M350 drone platform, and Geosun's professional software suite, we have created a powerhouse of LiDAR solutions that sets new industry standards and reaffirms our dedication to delivering exceptional results.

​Our LiDAR Drone Operations

As a commercial drone operation company, we are selective about the products we use for our daily operations. We avoid the cheapest options and equipment chosen solely for simplicity or flashy features. Instead, we prioritize reliability and performance. This is why we have chosen the Geosun GS-260X for our drone LiDAR surveying projects. While many drone operators pair their DJI M300 Series drones with the DJI LiDAR units for its simplicity and affordability, we have chosen a different path. It is always better and more cost-effective to obtain accurate results the first time, rather than having to return to the site with the hope of achieving better results.
