DJI Matrice 400 RTK – LiDAR kit (Zenmuse L3 + D-RTK 3)
Advanced new-generation UAV system for 3D scanning, surveying, and terrain analysis on the largest scale. The Zenmuse L3 scanner with a 1535 nm laser and dual 100 MP RGB cameras covers 10 km² in a single flight and up to 100 km² per day — with accuracy of 3 cm vertically at 120 m and 5 cm at 300 m. Exclusive to the DJI Matrice 400 platform.

Why is L3 the new LiDAR standard?
- 950 m range @ 10% reflectivity — over 2× more than L2
- 16 echo returns — deeper penetration of vegetation and denser structures
- Dual 100 MP RGB cameras, 107° FOV — photogrammetry and LiDAR in one flight
- 10 km² in one flight (300 m, 17 m/s) — fewer approaches, lower mission costs
- 3 cm GSD at 300 m — mapping-grade orthophoto data
- Adjustable pulse frequency 100 kHz – 2 MHz — optimization for various tasks
- 0.25 mrad beam divergence — 1/5 the spot size of L2, higher cloud resolution
- No IMU warm-up — immediate readiness after takeoff

FAQ
What is the main difference between L3 and L2?
L3 has over 2× greater range (950 vs. 450 m), 16 echo returns (vs. 5), two 100 MP RGB cameras (vs. one 20 MP), covers 10 km² in one flight (vs. approx. 2-3 km²), and has 5× smaller beam divergence. L3 is exclusive to M400, L2 also supports M300/M350.
Which applications prefer L3 over L2?
HV power line inspections from distances over 500 m, high-altitude mapping over 300 m, forestry requiring maximum vegetation penetration, large topographical projects (over 10 km² daily), and 100 MP class photogrammetry combined with LiDAR in a single flight.
What memory card does L3 require?
CFexpress Type B with a minimum sequential write speed of 1500 MB/s — high throughput required by dense LiDAR data and dual 100 MP cameras. This distinguishes L3 from L2 (microSD).
Is L3 compatible with M300/M350?
No — Zenmuse L3 is designed exclusively for DJI Matrice 400. For M300/M350, the Zenmuse L2 is dedicated.
