The DJI Zenmuse L3 is DJI’s next-generation LiDAR payload designed for high-efficiency, high-accuracy 3D mapping and surveying. It integrates a long-range LiDAR scanner, high-precision IMU and RGB mapping camera, delivering centimetre-level accuracy and capturing hundreds of thousands of points per second with multi-return capability for better vegetation penetration. Compared with earlier models, L3 offers improved range, denser point clouds, and faster data acquisition, making it well suited for corridor mapping, forestry, powerline inspection, and large-area topographic surveys.

The DJI Zenmuse L3 is DJI’s latest flagship airborne LiDAR payload, engineered for large-scale, high-precision 3D mapping and surveying missions. Designed to work seamlessly with DJI enterprise platforms, L3 combines a next-generation long-range LiDAR sensor, a high-accuracy IMU, and an integrated RGB mapping camera to deliver dense, consistent point clouds with centimetre-level accuracy. With significantly improved detection range, higher point density, and stronger penetration through vegetation compared to previous generations, Zenmuse L3 is ideal for demanding applications such as corridor mapping, forestry analysis, powerline inspection, mining surveys, and large-area topographic mapping. When paired with DJI Terra, users benefit from an efficient end-to-end workflow, from data capture through to professional-grade point cloud and model outputs.
