Overview
Cygnus 3 is the heavier-duty handheld scanner, for large sites, mines, tunnels and plants where range matters. The Pro version doubles the LiDAR channels to 32 and reaches 300 m. RTK-SLAM and PPK-SLAM modes tie the scan to survey control, and an accuracy heat map shows weak areas before you leave site. It can also be mounted on a drone via SkyPort.
