L1 integrates a LIVOX LiDAR module, a high-accuracy IMU, and an RGB mapping camera on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal. When used with compatible DJI aircraft and DJI TERRA , the L1 offers a complete solution that gives real-time 3D data throughout the day, which effectively captures the details of complex structures and delivers highly accurate reconstructed models.

ZENMUSE L1 User Manual 15. Model Preview Button Refer to the Point Cloud Model Preview section for more information. 16. Pause Button Tap to pause point cloud recording and tap again to resume. Point Cloud Model Preview Tap to view the current point cloud model from different perspectives.
Field Data Collection Users can create a flight mission to record point cloud data in DJI Pilot and import the recorded data into DJI Terra for high-precision model reconstruction. Preparation 1. Make sure the L1 is installed correctly on the aircraft and that the aircraft and remote controller are linked after powering on.
Connect it to a computer and check the point cloud data, photos, and other files in the DCIM folder. Linear Flight Mission 1. Enter the mission flight screen in DJI Pilot, select Create a Route, and then to choose a Linear Flight mission.
ZENMUSE L1 User Manual 5. Power off the aircraft after the mission is completed and remove the microSD card from the L1. Connect it to a computer and check the point cloud data, photos, and other files in the DCIM folder.
Station or third-party RTK base station. Rename the file as the same as the .RTB file in the point cloud data file directory and add a .RTCM suffix. 3. Copy the .RTCM file to the folder of the point cloud data file directory. DJI Terra will prioritize .RTCM files over .RTB files.
5. In the reconstruction page, the current mission folder can be opened by pressing “Ctrl+Alt+F” to find the file and check the result of the reconstruction. 6. Read the DJI Terra User Manual for more information about how to process data such as optimizing point cloud data accuracy.
ZENMUSE L1 User Manual FOV Coverage The figure below shows the FOV coverage of the L1 compared with non-L1 LiDAR sensors that use traditional mechanical scanning methods. A. When the integration time is less than The L1 0.3 s, the 70% FOV coverage of the L1 is slightly better than a 64-line LiDAR sensor.
DJI devices used with the aircraft, and that all devices are powered on. 2. Go to HMS in DJI Pilot, select Firmware Update, then Zenmuse L1, and follow the on-screen instructions to update the firmware. Select Update All to update all available devices simultaneously.
ZENMUSE L1 User Manual Storage, Transportation, and Maintenance Storage The storage temperature range for the L1 LiDAR is from -40° to 85° C (-40° to 185° F). Keep L1 LiDAR sensors in a dry and dust-free environment. 1. Make sure the L1 LiDAR sensors are not exposed to environments containing poisonous or corrosive gases or materials.
