DJI Zenmuse L1 – The Ultimate Solution for Aerial LiDAR Mapping

The DJI Zenmuse L1 is not just another payload—it’s a complete aerial LiDAR solution designed for professionals who need accuracy, speed, and reliability. With its Livox LiDAR module, a 1-inch RGB camera, and a high-precision IMU, the L1 delivers real-time 3D data that transforms how industries like surveying, forestry, construction, and infrastructure inspection work with aerial data. Built tough with an IP54 rating, it is ready to handle challenging field conditions while providing crystal-clear point clouds and accurate 3D models.

Key Features of DJI Zenmuse L1

1. Powerful Livox LiDAR Sensor – Precision at Its Core

The L1’s LiDAR system offers a ranging accuracy of up to 3 cm at 100 meters, with a maximum detection range of 450 m at 80% reflectivity. Supporting up to 3 returns and delivering a point rate of 480,000 pts/s in multiple-return mode, it ensures dense and highly accurate mapping data even in complex terrains.

2. High-Resolution RGB Mapping Camera – Color with Clarity

Equipped with a 1-inch CMOS sensor and 20 MP resolution, the RGB camera adds vibrant details to point clouds. With multiple photo sizes, a mechanical shutter, and adjustable aperture from f/2.8 to f/11, it captures true-to-life imagery. Video recording at 4K (3840×2160 30p) ensures seamless integration of visuals into mapping workflows.

3. Integrated IMU – Stability and Accuracy Together

With an IMU update frequency of 200 Hz, ±8 g accelerometer range, and yaw accuracy as precise as 0.3° real-time (0.15° in post-processing), the L1 ensures every point cloud dataset is aligned perfectly. This allows surveyors and engineers to trust every measurement in the final model.

4. Real-Time Point Cloud Visualization – Instant Data Confidence

The L1 supports real-time point cloud coloring modes, including reflectivity, height, distance, and RGB. Operators can immediately verify data quality mid-flight, reducing re-flight chances and ensuring complete coverage of critical sites without wasting time.

5. Rugged and Reliable – Built for the Outdoors

With an IP54 rating, the Zenmuse L1 is resistant to dust and water, making it reliable in harsh conditions. Whether working in rain, heat, or dusty sites, it continues to perform without compromise. Its operating temperature ranges from -20°C to 50°C, ensuring consistent results in extreme environments.

6. Smooth Data Processing – Compatible with DJI Terra

The L1 integrates seamlessly with DJI Terra, supporting standard point cloud formats such as PNTS, LAS, PLY, PCD, and S3MB. This allows professionals to easily process, analyze, and export data for industry-standard use. From raw point cloud to actionable 3D maps, the workflow remains streamlined.

7. Versatile Applications – One Sensor, Many Industries

Forestry, mining, power line inspection, and construction all benefit from the L1’s versatility. With the ability to see through vegetation, capture urban structures, and deliver accurate surface models, it becomes a multipurpose tool for professionals across industries.

How to Use the DJI Zenmuse L1

1. Mount the L1 securely onto the DJI Matrice 300 RTK using the SkyPort connection.

2. Power on the drone and open the DJI Pilot app to calibrate the sensor system.

3. Set up mission parameters such as scanning mode, altitude, and coverage area.

4. Monitor real-time point cloud data during flight to ensure proper area coverage.

5. After the mission, transfer the collected point cloud, IMU, and RGB data to a workstation for processing in DJI Terra.

How to Take Care of the DJI Zenmuse L1

1. Store the unit in a dust-free, dry environment with a stable temperature.

2. Use padded protective cases during transport to avoid vibrations and shocks.

3. Update firmware regularly to ensure peak performance and bug fixes.

4. Handle connectors with care, and always use protective caps when not in use.

5. Avoid exposure to extreme conditions outside the specified -20°C to 50°C range.

How to Clean the DJI Zenmuse L1

1. Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the LiDAR sensor window and RGB lens.

2. If required, apply a lens-safe cleaning solution—never harsh chemicals.

3. Clean dust or dirt around connectors with compressed air.

4. Avoid touching the optical surfaces with fingers to prevent smudges.

5. Always clean the sensor after field use before storage to maintain accuracy.
