DJI Introduces Zenmuse L3: A Game-Changer in Aerial LiDAR Technology

DJI, a recognized leader in drone technology, has launched the newest addition to its product lineup — the Zenmuse L3. This innovative airborne LiDAR system aims to significantly enhance operational efficiency and precision in aerial survey tasks. Announced on November 4, 2025, and distributed by Sekido, a prominent DJI authorized dealer based in Tokyo, this cutting-edge technology is set to transform various industries by providing superior data collection capabilities.

Features of the Zenmuse L3

The Zenmuse L3 is equipped with a long-range LiDAR system that operates at a wavelength of 1535nm, allowing for measurements up to 950 meters away. This system is complemented by a dual 100-megapixel RGB camera and a high-precision Position and Orientation System (POS). Together, these features enable the Zenmuse L3 to cover expansive areas of up to 100 square kilometers in just one day, streamlining processes such as aerial surveying, infrastructure inspection, terrain mapping, and disaster response.

With its ability to capture high-resolution data from surfaces with a reflectance as low as 10%, the Zenmuse L3 stands out amongst its competitors. It also offers improved distance measurement reproducibility, making it ideal for mapping projects at scales of 1:500 and 1:1000. Its maximum visibility range of 500 meters and exceptional penetration performance empower users to accurately gather data in challenging environments like dense forests and urban landscapes.

Advanced Dual 100-megapixel RGB Mapping Camera

One of the highlight features of the Zenmuse L3 is its dual 4/3-inch CMOS RGB sensors accompanied by a mechanical shutter. When flying at an altitude of 100 meters, it achieves an impressive ground sampling distance (GSD) of just 1 cm, ensuring intricate and precise data gathering. Additionally, the dual RGB mapping cameras provide a wide horizontal field of view (FOV) of up to 107°, allowing for more efficient coverage in extensive areas during a single flight, ultimately boosting productivity.

Seamless Integration with DJI Ecosystem

The Zenmuse L3 is fully integrated into the DJI ecosystem, offering a streamlined end-to-end workflow that encompasses data acquisition, processing, and utilization. It interfaces smoothly with multifunctional stations like the D-RTK 3 and software platforms such as DJI Terra and DJI Modify, delivering an excellent user experience. This integration makes intricate mapping tasks simpler and more efficient.
