Next-generation 1535nm long-range LiDAR and dual 100MP RGB mapping cameras improve aerial geospatial operations requiring greater precision and wider visibility.
SHENZHEN, China, November 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — DJI, the global leader in civilian drones and creative camera technologies, today launched the DJI Zenmuse L3. This high-precision aerial LiDAR system features a long-range 1535nm LiDAR capable of reaching 950m even on objects with only 10% reflectivity, while maintaining exceptional penetration capabilities. With its dual 100MP RGB cameras and high-precision POS system, geospatial data acquisition can be accelerated by covering up to 100 km2 A day. Combined with the D-RTK 3 Multifunctional Station and DJI Enterprise software, Zenmuse L3 provides an end-to-end solution that simplifies geospatial operations while generating multiple map deliverables from a single flight.
Focused on greater precision and wider visibility, the Zenmuse L3 marks a breakthrough for DJI in the field of long-range, high-precision LiDAR that will undoubtedly advance and transform the geospatial industry globally. With this new innovation, DJI aims to expand the adoption of high-end aerial survey LiDAR technology to more enterprise applications in the areas of topographic surveying, emergency response, historic preservation, energy infrastructure inspections and forestry.
High precision 1535nm LiDAR
And
Exclusive high precision system
The Zenmuse L3 LiDAR system achieves a detection range of 950 m at a pulse rate of 100 kHz, tested under 100 klx ambient light and on objects with 10% reflectivity. This pulse frequency is adjustable, allowing flexible output power and optimal adaptation to various operational scenarios.
The self-developed LiDAR provides range repeatability of 5mm to 150m (1σ) and supports time synchronization at the microsecond level. Mapping projects at scales of 1:500, 1:1000 and 1:2000 can be supported with significant improvements in vertical accuracy (3cm at 120m, 5cm at 300m and 10cm at 500m). It can accurately detect smaller objects, such as power lines and branches, with a laser beam divergence of just 0.25 mrad (1/e²) – the spot size at the same range is about one-fifth that of the Zenmuse L2.
100MP RGB Dual Mapping Camera System
Equipped with dual 4/3 100MP RGB CMOS sensors and a mechanical shutter, Zenmuse L3 delivers significantly improved accuracy and efficiency. It can achieve a ground sampling distance (GSD) of 3cm even at a flight altitude of 300m. Additionally, the dual RGB mapping cameras provide a horizontal field of view (FOV) of up to 107°, allowing each capture to cover a wider area.
High heart rate
And
Multiple returns
for superior penetration capacity
Highly accurate spatial reconstructions can be generated thanks to its maximum laser pulse emission frequency of 2 million points per second and support for up to 16 returns. Thanks to significant hardware improvements, Zenmuse L3 now supports a star-shaped scanning mode that balances precision with multiple scanning angles. The penetration capability is particularly suitable for mapping terrain such as dense forests and urban environments, capturing more ground points with greater completeness, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and integrity of terrain data for precise surface adjustment and reconstruction.
High efficiency,

ing
up to 100 km
²
Per day
When mounted on the DJI Matrice 400, the Zenmuse L3 offers exceptional efficiency. At a typical flight altitude of 300 m, a single flight can travel up to 10 km2allowing up to 100 km² daily coverage. Additionally, it can capture LiDAR and RGB data simultaneously to generate a range of mapping products from a single flight, including digital orthophoto maps (DOMs) and digital elevation models (DEMs), and much more, even despite a 20% LiDAR lateral overlap rate.

A
End-to-end solution without ml
Zenmuse L3 integrates seamlessly with the DJI ecosystem to provide an end-to-end mapping solution. This includes the multifunctional D-RTK 3, DJI Pilot 2, DJI Terra, DJI Modify and DJI FlightHub 2. From data acquisition and processing to application, this unified workflow is simpler to use and master than traditional cross-platform setups, helping users efficiently perform a wide range of mapping tasks.
