Since its release in 2022, the Elios 3 has become a key instrument in the surveyor toolbox for capturing LiDAR data in areas where it was never possible to capture data before. With the growing need for better and more efficient data capture, sectors like mining, construction, and infrastructure management are turning to the Elios 3 to conduct safer inspections and surveys with greater data coverage.

Now, with the introduction of the Elios 3’s new Surveying Payload, the capabilities of this drone have been augmented. This report will detail the results of testing the new payload’s accuracy and demonstrate exactly how it has added to the Elios 3’s data collection workflows.
