The DJI Zenmuse L3 is a 950m LiDAR system with dual 100MP cameras, 3cm vertical accuracy and up to 100km² daily coverage. For Matrice 400. Includes 1-year Care Plus.
The DJI Zenmuse L3 is DJI's most advanced aerial LiDAR system — a next-generation long-range, high-accuracy payload built exclusively for the Matrice 400. Its self-developed 1535nm LiDAR reaches 950 metres at just 10% reflectivity, with support for up to 16 returns and a maximum pulse emission rate of 2 million points per second. A laser beam divergence of just 0.25 mrad means the spot size at the same range is approximately one-fifth that of the Zenmuse L2, giving significantly stronger penetration through vegetation and dense environments and sharper detection of fine structures such as power lines and branches.
Alongside the LiDAR module, dual 100MP 4/3-inch CMOS cameras with a combined horizontal FOV of 107° and mechanical shutter capture colourised point clouds and RGB mapping outputs simultaneously — eliminating the need for a separate mapping payload. At a typical flight altitude of 300 metres, a single flight covers up to 10km², enabling up to 100km² of daily coverage. Vertical accuracy is 3cm at 120m altitude, 5cm at 300m and 10cm at 500m. Three scanning modes — Linear, Star-Shaped and Non-Repetitive — optimise the point cloud for terrain mapping, forested environments or complex structural surveys respectively. Processed in DJI Terra (L3 point cloud processing included free in Terra v5.1 for both Standard and Flagship). Includes 1-year DJI Care Enterprise Plus.
